My old girl is now 20 years old. She is getting to the age where things arnt working as well as they use to. However she is a pleasure to drive, comfortable, quite economical and she has the grunt if you need it. I am very impressed with the Quality of workmanship that is still evident even the car was built 20 years ago. Unfortunatly like everything, eventually things start to fail, but i will get these things fixed and keep this beautiful car running. I love it to bits, i just hope she doesnt make me broke.

Overall performance is good, but it's a pity that this car doesn't match up with the much lesser expensive Opel Calibra in terms of performance, acceleration, speed.

Apart from the niggles I have experienced, my BMW 320i has been extremely reliable and overall, an excellent machine. It is hard to imagine that it is thirteen years old. The overall experience is better than that of many newer cars I have ridden in. he fuel economy is good and the car is extremely reasonable to maintain if you deal with independent garages. Although my car is equipped with 15" wheels, the ride quality is not bad at all. Steering feel is excellent and the driving experience sublime. What lets it down is that the central locking is incapable of locking, and it appears difficult to repair. Some of the door trim has come undone and rattles seem plentiful. The demister does not seem to work. The headlights do not seem powerful enough.

Well, I purchased a 1991 BMW 320i e36 for my wife as she found our 300TE Mercedes wagon just too big.
The BMW so far has had the auto gearbox rebuilt twice, 5 of the 6 ignition coils replaced, leaking diff side seals replaced and the glovebox just won't open....
The car has done 78500km with 3 owners...
My wife loves it so I can't sell it !!!
She thinks it is more feminine than a cold austere Mercedes....
