1999 BMW 3 Series 318i SE review from UK and Ireland
"Like a glass of water - however fast you drink it, it never tastes of anything"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake discs disintegrated.
Rear bumper became unhinged over a speed hump.
General comments?
An appliance. Passionless, funless, also flawless. It annoys me when people stare in envy when I drive past - those folks must never have driven one of the most anodyne motorway sample-carriers ever. I deeply regret choosing this car.
It is slow and has massive flywheel effect.
Perhaps a 330 is fun, but as a 4 pot - awful. Does what it says on the tin - cruises without effort for miles and miles, but don't expect any fun at all. A self drive bus.
