1986 BMW 3 Series ES review from North America
"A very fun all-around car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My clutch went out at 126,000 miles.
My driveshaft needed rebuilt at 150,000 miles.
General comments?
The car handles extremely well.
However the eta engine revs wrap up too quickly.
