1992 BMW 3 Series 320i review from Norway
"You feel at home in this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water-pump changed at 170000km
Shocks where totally shot at 215000km
Changed differential at 230000km
Changed fuel-pump at 295000km
The car wears bushings out quickly, might be the wide tires I used on it.
Some rust on the doors, not much.
General comments?
I really enjoyed this car, I owned it for 7 years and not many things went wrong with it.
3 owners, every one was 18-25 year range, so the car is driven in a more sporty manner :)
The engine still purr nicely, it's strong and it has all the original parts except the water-pump.
The seat-fabric it very strong, shows almost no wear after 16 years of good use.
Young people have used this car for 14 years and it still is good-looking.
