BMW 3-Series Coupe 328i Sport 2d (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Expensive to buy new, but second-hand values are strong.
Costs
Cost of ownership is quite high, but I knew this before I bought. Service at main dealers is expensive but a must. Insuring the car wasn't as high as I had thought.

On the road
Driving
This is the best handling car I have owned so far. The car just goes round corners as if they weren't there. This is a car that likes to be driven hard!
Performance
This 2.8 engine is so smooth. More low down torque would be better I find the engine comes to life after 4,500rpm.

Living with it
Reliability
Like most things German, it's built to last.
Image
The good thing is that it's not 'in-your-face' and doesn't look like a boy racer car!
Comfort
Very relaxed on motorway journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Adequate.
Service
Service is due soon. Communications/Feedback from the main dealer in Crewe has been excellent. I hope the service backs it up!
