1991 BMW 3 Series E30 318iS review from UK and Ireland
"Sexwee"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing wrong with it. I had to replace a lower ball joint for the MOT. No other faults for MOT.
General comments?
1991 BMW E30 318iS. After years of high powered front wheel drive hatchbacks this was a step down in power, but a major step up in driving enjoyment. This car provides driving pleasure like no other car I've ever driven. The back end is always ready to be teased out. Combine that with low running costs, good comfort, brilliantly spartan cabin, great seating and a classic look. I love it.
