1994 BMW 3 Series 325i review from Australia and New Zealand
"Refined styled performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C wasn't working, traced to a small leak over the last 9 years.
Light on key ring. Not bad for a nine year old car.
General comments?
My previous car was a 1997 M3 evo. Yep that car was something else, unfortunately for now at least that car had to go. After looking around for something else and after hearing many good comments about the 325i I finally bought one from an auction. I hadn't had the benefit of a real street test before buying it, but bought hte car on it's condition which was excellent. Better infact than the M3. I can now say that I am very impressed with the cars performance, one you get over the 4K rpm line the engine just sings and provides impressive pull. a poor mans M3 she may be, but a 1/6th the price it's hard to justify the difference. But I am sure I will again one day :-)
