1994 BMW 3 Series 325IS review from North America
"Safety and high acceleration, but nothing else"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Poor electronic system. Rain drops started going through the electronic box at 60,000 miles. While I was washing my car, water went through. Cost me US$1500 to fix it.
Once a month, the engine went out while I was driving a low velocity at 40,000 miles. I had to wait for 30 minutes, then I could jump up the engine. I have visited the BMW dealer in the states, but they couldn't it figure out. Unbelievable!
General comments?
This car can protect you in any kind of danger. I had a serious accident on the freeway in 2000. I just walked out of my car. Good car.
