BMW 3-Series Saloon 316e 4d (1993/K) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
On the road
Driving
Ample power, with excellent road holding and handling, but with that little chance of the rear breaking away in the wet, just to keep you on your toes.
Performance
It is only a 1.6 so, taking this into consideration, it is by no means a straggler.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Almost problem free, especially considering the age of the car.
Image
Still turns heads, even after 10 years.
Comfort
Seats a little hard. I personnally found the driver's seat didn't go low enough. Quite a bit of wind noise at speed.
