1987 BMW 3 Series 325 review from North America
"A beautiful car for a great price."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace main computer unit upon purchasing car. Was an expensive repair, but purchase price was adjusted to allow for cost of repair.
Coolant "check light" is always on. Have been told that it is a common wiring problem from that year.
Also had minor wiring problem with lights and signals (burned out bulbs and fast turn signal).
Replaced steering rack at 115000 miles.
General comments?
This car has been the best car (and the oldest) I have owned. Handles great, has a nice zip and has never left me stranded.
Both the interior and the exterior are in excellent condition. I feel as if I have been sent back in time to 1987 driving around in a brand new bmw!
