1986 BMW 3 Series 325is review from North America
"Best performance for the money, easy to modify"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have blown 3 rocker arms, but that is my own fault (driving the car under extreme performance)
General comments?
This car has been extremely reliable. I have driven it for approximately 45000 km a year, and I haven't had any problems with it.
