1988 BMW 3 Series User Reviews

The Old Bimmer — Performance: Drives fantastic, old engine though... Build quality: pretty good considering its over 20 years old Apearance: Loogs good for its age though som angeleyes and a set lf better weels wouldn't hurt. Cost of Ownership: Old cars go wrong, thirsty. Fun Factor: Can it be much more fun than rearwealdrive and a straigt six?

Not Good Enough For Its Money — Excellent acceleration, braking and handling. The steering wheel is a little too big, seats are not ergonomical. Excellent build quality, unhappy with the electronics and electrical equipment. Styling is great, but indoor space is insufficient. Cost of ownership can be quite high due to expensive support. The car is definitely fun to drive. I can recommend it if value-for-money considerations are not a factor in your choice.

Oh Yah. — I love the car. I just got new seats put in it and im about to get a tune up to make it fly fly fly. Every one loves the thing. Its a blast to drive even when I am goin down the highway kicking the crap outa Civics. I rock it!

Cheap, Reliable And A Joy To Drive — When I bought it last year it had only 108,000 km on the clock. It is in perfect condition, ages very well, is absolutely reliable and is a delight to drive. If you want a nice reliable RWD car with a real engine for no money at all, the six cylinder BMW E30 is the car you want !

Bmw...need We Way More — This is my first EVER BMW. If it's any indication of the build quality of all BMWs, then I will never buy domestic again! This thing is solid. At 20 years old, most cars would be hobbling along, sputtering every time you throttle up. This thing never hesitates, takes corners like it's brand new, and generally is in better shape than me. It's deceptively large. While it isn't much longer than my 2 door Sentra was, this thing can handle much more cargo, and has ample leg room for my 6'2" 200lb frame.
