BMW 3 series 1998 reviews
Pros: Car is powerful stable, sporty, comfortable, beautiful. Engine is good! Consumption very good, lots of extras!
Cons: Rust, Rust, Rust. The running gear is very sweaty and tears regularly. The oil sometimes gets out of the engine somewhere, if you chip it you will soon be able to look for a new gearbox and reducer as well as a hanging bearing, a little expensive.also the same hanging bearing is very brittle, you will smoke the tires a couple of times and start to vibrate, the price is not terrible but change often with reluctance!

Pros: Pleasant and good-looking. Sporty. Easy to drive. Powerful. Convenient.
Cons: Expensive engine parts. Complex engine and its supportive structure. With automatic transmission very diesel edible. The control system is fragile. Brutally baggy, on the smallest failure stands still. The fuel system has been repaired 2 times, still having problems
