1989 BMW 3 Series 325i Touring review from UK and Ireland
"A solid, beautiful to drive car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air inlet manifold gasket leak.
New rear discs and pads.
Most rubber hosing in the engine compartment renewed.
New fuel injection relay (old part number unreliable).
Worn parts replaced in the rear suspension.
General comments?
Beautiful engine note, worth the money!
Road holding fine in the dry, dangerous in the wet. Respect the car in the wet.
Good firm seats, very little interior wear for a 12 year old car.
Good dash layout. Simple, and well built.
25 to 31 mpg range, typical 300 miles per £40 tank of petrol.
I use an independent BMW mechanic and save £
