What Owners are Saying About the 1992 BMW 3 Series
"89 325i convertible"
"bought this vehicle in 1995 when it had 67000 mi. on it. it now has 190000 mi. this car has been amazing. still no fluid leaks or mpg changes. the design and engineering is straight forward making maintenance a reletive snap. I was even able to install a new factory top and complete factory exaust system by myself. my only advice to a new owner is to only use oem parts and run premium gas only. this car is designed for pure driver enjoyment. it has it all, performance, handling, comfort, and looks. it seems the blue on these vehicles should be higher so i would buy one before people figure it out!!"
"Awesome Awesome, Awesome"
"I hate to give this review because these cars a getting harder and harder to find and I may want to get another one. This car is the best value on the planet. It has the classic BMW style and runs forever. You can run an e30 400k easy. If you can find one with under 200k get it NOW! Make sure it has little rust, new timing belt, etc. You will not regret it. This car will only increase in value as they become more harder to find. Peace Man"
"null"
"Very little has gone wrong with this car in the 4 years I have owned it. Money is spent on tires, tune-ups, and other regular maintenance. This car is an excellent drive. Comfort is great through the winter using the heated seats, though, driver and passenger space is limited."
