1993 BMW 3 Series 325i Convertible review from UK and Ireland
"A stylish practical convertible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS light has shown.
Auto/power window sealer on the driver's door malfunctions occasionally.
Roof rattles.
Auto start inhibitor does not work (can start in gear).
Plastic rear window is scuffed and scratched.
General comments?
This car is a work of art. The styling is timeless, quite square and aggressive. As far as convertibles go, it is practical yet still a load of fun.
The gear-box is smooth, the motor is powerful enough and it handles very well.
The seats are extremely comfortable and the interior (leather) is quite nice, although later models (E46) look smoother.
Despite being 8 years old it still has the style and feel of a much newer car.
The roof seals perfectly and wind noise is only slightly noticeable at motorway speed limits.
