1998 BMW 3 Series i review from North America
"Honda 'look alike' gets me no chicks!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear windshield shattered for no apparent reason, car in garage - dealer of no help!
Cheap 'leatherette' interior is uncomfortable and wears badly.
General comments?
Nice car, but would expect more for the price. The next model year, the car was completely redesigned leaving me with somewhat of an ugly duckling.
Very, very slow car. 6 cylinder performance is disappointing.
Tall drivers beware! You'll shut your head in the door!! gasp!
