1994 BMW 3 Series 318 iS Sedan review from Australia and New Zealand
"Love it and wished I had had a BMW years ago"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery required replacing - normal wear for age.
Minor leak in a heater hose in engine bay - simple fix.
General comments?
Handles brilliantly, precise steering and little body roll.
Impressive brakes.
The sports / economy switch changes the gear change points and transforms the car accordingly.
Very comfortable (leather option) and well appointed with a very well thought out cabin design and functionality.
