1995 BMW M3 review from North America
"I love it!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warped rotors - bad install by previous owner.
Leaky calipers.
Leaking head gasket.
Faulty coolant sensor - replaced 4 times.
Cracked radiator overflow tank - common, known issue.
General comments?
Despite the issues, this car is amazing. I bought it used, but well taken care of by the previous owner. The car was definitely in need of a little engine TLC due to the previous owner's financial limitations, but once the wear and tear issues were resolved, the car was perfect. I expect it to run well past 200k miles. It's a great daily driver and still gets heads turning.
