1999 BMW 3 Series 328is review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front right corner panel under the turn signal and rear trunk sill have rust perforation; No worries this kind of problems is covered under BMW rust warranty. The rust was fixed at no cost to me.
Rear calipers tend to get locked up and cause a scraping sound. BMW recommended to replace them, but instead I had both cleaned and lubricated... this solved the problem.
General comments?
328is is one of the smoothest and most powerful engines I have every driven.
The amount of time and skill that has been put into building the machine is well worth the money I have paid for the car.
Among my friends we have 13 BMW's and they range from 318,320,325,328,M3,5-series,7-series all of them boast its power and quality.
