1997 BMW 3 Series 323i SE review from UK and Ireland
"A very solid performance vehicle"
General comments?
Though we have only owned the car for a few month's, we are very impressed by the car's performance and comfort levels. The engine is lively if pushed, but can be quite thirsty.
As our family car, the car is quite roomy in the rear for the two kid's, in the front, the leg room is brilliant, though the gearbox tunnel does infringe towards the clutch pedal slightly.
The boot space is not as big as we would like, but overall a very solidly built car, with lots of specification.
