1989 BMW 3 Series 325i review from North America
"This is the best car for the money period"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The thermostat went out at about 150,000.
I had to replace the radiator at around the same time.
New spark plug wires replaced at 140,000 miles.
That is it.
General comments?
The car runs great.
It starts on the first try like a dream.
The car runs excelent.
Great acceleration and incredible reliabiity.
I can't reccomend tis car enough. It is ultra reliable. It drives great. It has great handling and is the easiest car to park I have ever owned.
This car turned me into a BMW fan. Low maintance, ultra reliablity, and great fuel economy make this a great buy. I bought mine for 2500.00 US and it beats the snot out of other cars I have paid 30k for..
