That being said, the BMW 3 series still has a nice cache to it and a good reputation. It really makes a statement when people know you drive one. Decisions, decisions. |
Your mechanic knows 0 about BMW series 3.
Half a year ago I was buying used car. I came across BMW series 3 car ... then went to mechanic to check out the car and it was as if the car was 10 years younger. Very roboust car, mine is 1992, 275000 km (arouind 175000 miles) and no problems since I bought it. Chasis is without rust after 15 years, motor is running ok, even design is pretty much the same as newer series 3 models. And i bet this is not an isolated case.
