1985 BMW 3 Series 318i review from Portugal
"Low price easy tunable and best driver's car I met in my life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head corrosion- due to lack of cooling liquid during previous 18 Years oh
ownership!!!
Driver seat wearing out at the left torso support.
General comments?
Great car its a true battle tank, 254.000 Km and still starts at first key turn!!!.
Problems zero, exception for rear tires!!!
Handling is amazing, grip and felling... I just say... power slide King, for a 110 HP car with 1000 Kilos
those Germans guys at Bavaria have outcome them selves..
Truly a drivers car.
