1997 BMW 3 Series 318i Saloon review from UK and Ireland
"Once you have owned a BMW you won't go back!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater resistor went wrong make the fan at permanent high speeds.
The cooling switch for the engine stopped working, but very easy fix.
Flat rear tyre (my fault shouldn't have spun it round in a car park) :)
General comments?
The performance from the 1.8 engine is very surprising and will get you up to high speeds in no time at all, you can't even hear the engine or any wind noise when you are cruising along.
The interior is very up to date with high luxury refinements and it is very comfortable even on very long journeys.
The boot space is very big and capable of carrying lots of gear.
I don't think there is really anything I can say that is negative about the car???
