2000 BMW 3 Series 330D SE review from UK and Ireland
"Economical pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A whining diff was replaced under warranty.
A dipped headlight bulb blew.
General comments?
With the addition of a ECU tuning box this car can be increased to about 220BHP and 500NM of torque.
The economy gives me low 40MPG around town with 53MPG possible on a long run.
On a long run 600 miles between petrol stations is possible.
Rattles and creaks are in evidence in the cabin - mainly on the seats.
