2001 BMW 3 Series 316 review from UK and Ireland
"Quite flash for little cash"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air bag light has come on the dash, no reason why.
Quite tappity from a cold start.
Apart from this, no problems to report.
General comments?
This is the bottom of the range 3 series, but still comes will all the toys, E/W all round, air con, cruise control, parking sensors, CD player; it's very well equipped.
The engine is quite rattly from cold, and is quite slow, it returns 35mpg on average so it's not all bad.
Inside is very well built, very quiet and no engine noise. Seats are comfy and offer a good driving position.
Overall it's a really nice car, and overall it's a BMW for not much money.
