1998 BMW 3 Series 328is review from North America
"Luxury on rails"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown radiator at 155,000.
Problem with Automatic Climate Control Module (may only be a $2 soldering fix).
Squeaky clutch (resolved with a little bit of "WD40")
General comments?
EXTREMELY exhilarating ride!
Handles better than a go-cart.
Extremely fast when getting on the interstate.
A real head-turner (more than the sedan or compact).
Beautifully crafted body and interior.
VERY durable and well crafted body panels, and interior pieces.
Very solid structure that you will NOT find in American cars.
Doors do not have a frame around the windows, so when you open the doors it is very sleek.
SUNROOF IS A MUST! Very enjoyable.
Sport seats are beautiful and comfortable.
Very good paint job.
A bit costly to fix. BUT WORTH IT!
