1980 BMW 3 Series 320 review from Netherlands
"The best buy a had in years and when sorted out it is the car you will keep for a life time."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One time the a switch of the automatic shorted out.
The front stabilizer unit rubber was missing.
The automatic had too little oil at one time, but we corrected it all.
General comments?
This car might be old, but in the condition it is in is like that of a 7 year old car.
It responds seriously on the gas pedal. It is nice to have 122 Bhp of BMW at your service at all time.
The seats are much better than that of the BMW 2002 I also own.
It is not economical to run every day. Because it is a old fashion straight six it consumes plenty of fuel (but it is worth it, because this car really flies!)
