1993 BMW 3 Series 320 Coupe review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear suspension bushes.
Rear exhaust box.
Battery failed to charge.
All above were original parts replaced though.
General comments?
This a very well-sorted car, I can now see why people enjoy their BMW's so much.
The handling is excellent, yet the ride is uncannily smooth.
The 6 cylinder engine is a joy to listen to, so smooth and free-spinning.
The controls are superbly laid-out and the seating position (for the driver) is probably the best I have ever encountered.
I prefer Audi dashboards however.
The coupe is surprisingly practical as the rear seats knock-down, unlike the saloon's (unless spec'd by the first owner).
Beautiful paintwork that shines like new after each wash, again the best paintwork I have ever encountered.
My car still gets admiring glances even though it is nearly 10 years old.
The economy is good also for a 6 cylinder car, I usually get 35+ to the gallon, but then I am not the fastest of drivers!
