1990 BMW 3 Series 320i convertible review from Belgium
"Nice looking, reliable, comfy convertible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal wearing like rubbers, belts, tires.
Every 3 years have the "cat-eye" front-lights replaced due to rusty reflectors.
Defective gas pump replaced. was not needed because is proved to be the relais.
Driver's bucket-seat at the left side re-clothed, due to wear.
Seemes to be a general problem, also with the leather seats.
General comments?
This was by far the most reliable car I have ever owned.
As I live close to the German border I noticed that this E30 is still the most driven convertible in Germany.
Most of them having more than 200000km on the clocks.
325i are usually blown up by high speed driving youngsters.
My wife missed the powered top, but for me the manual top is still the fastest way to close when suddenly rain starts pouring.
