1996 BMW 3 Series SE review from UK and Ireland
"A well built, high performance and affordable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
A joy to drive, the straight six engine is a beauty. Compared to my previous 318 it's in a different league.
The engine is superb, fast enough for our roads and very fast when driven hard.
