BMW 3-Series Saloon (1991 - 1998) 325 td 4d (1994/L) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

this car has had a major effect on me, due to owning since i was 17...many people have looked at me in a different light....i get more respect by people i know and other road users....the power of the badge....

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Friends all love the car, family adore the car and the neighbours want the car...i was planning on seling it due to my fiancial status...but i just cannot bring myself to advertising it....soo many people have told me they will miss the car and it just won't be the same...no matter what i purchase next...so i've decided on not to sell the car

Would you buy this car again and why?

i would buy this car again due to the lack of problems it gives, the suprising affordable running costs and it is the Ultimate Driving Machine at the end of the day

What are you likely to buy next?

if i ever force myself to sell the car, then i think i will go for another BMW

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£8,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2004

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes i got a very good deal on this car...at the time these cars were very hard to find, not only that the dealer added for a few extras on to the deal i.e. AC Schnitzer Spoiler....also the mileage was exceptionally low for it's age...i was soo suprised....

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Brillant Car, doesn't sound like a diesel when driven and super MPG for engine size.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly and honest person....

What's it like to drive?

it is fabulous to drive....mileage does not matter with a car like this..., the turing circle is the best...i have had other cars such as Audis, Mercedes, Volvos Honda and VW's, but none can drive like a BMW....they are super and well worth the money...What Car.com say's these cars are over priced but if they actually owned one for as along as i have and seen how much i have put the car through its paces then, would they only realise these mean machines are not overly priced...but underpriced....

What's it like to park?

it is a dream to park...due to the sheer amount of greatness with the turning circle...even the tighest spots make it easy to park in...forget 3 point turn in the road...i can turn the car in one go...try and it see for yourself...otherwise i can show a video to prove it....forget Lexus with their expensive parking Gadgets...why spend £34,000 when you can spend about £4,000 and get a car that doesn't need gadgets to park better than a car which is nearly 10 times as expensive...

Have you had any problems with the car?

nothing Major has ever gone wrong with the car, it's starts 1st time everyday, the mileage now is 162K and still drives like a charm...the only majpr problems i have had is service...they are soo expensive for this type of car.....

What's most practical about your car?

it is very effificent on fuel and has a lot of power...can hold a family of 5 if the front seat passengers don't be greedy with the amount of leg room they are wanting.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

the MPG meter,that way if i'm wearing thick soled shoes and trying to drive nicely..i can tell when i have my front too much on the gas.....
