1999 BMW 3 Series 328i review from North America
"This is as far as I would go to experience the BMW driving experience"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After every winter I drove the car, the PDC (Parking Distance Control) sensors needed to be replaced, under warranty fortunately.
Unidentified jiggles from the back seat.
General comments?
Great car overall. Unbelievably balanced especially in snow driving, given that the car is rear-wheel-drive.
For the money it's not a competitive product, and with its lack of power, definitely not the ultimate driving machine.
