Just sold my headache to someone else and bought a Toyota. Basically BMWs are over-engineered and break quickly after a certain age. It's nothing but one headache after another which takes away the "fun driving" experience. Otherwise runaway as fast as you can and go buy a Toyota Orr Honda. If you find one of this age that has less than 40,000 miles and is pristine and u have money to burn go ahead and buy it.

The ignition Tumblr failed and left me stranded. Dinan Stage 2 Performance Engine Software - 1997-1998 BMW 323i. In addition the timing case cover is leaking oil, steering rack is now leaking power steering fluid, the rear axle is vibrating and making noise and the u-joint or possibly the entire drive shaft needs to be replaced. All the cooling hoses had to be replaced when one small hose somewhere failed and left me stranded. The engine now features all the goodies: dual-overhead cams, 4-valve cylinder heads, and variable valve timing. Those are all things I knew about going into the car. To back up that promise, BMW stuffed the engine bay with an updated version of its well-known 2.5-liter inline six, making 168 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. In the past 9 months of ownership I have had to replace the air conditioner, shocks, alternator, radiator. the engine and transmission are flawless, but unfortunately when they get old like this they begin to fail in many ways. This one has been probably the most fun-to-drive, and I will say this. I've owned 5 BMWs over the last 30 years. The original paint job was not very good, I did replace the ugly wheels and the fat and short bottle cap wheels with bmw spoked wheel and 16 inch tires. Radio and HVAC controls are inches from your right hand. The Fit and Finish of the dash around the glovebox horrible. They are built to require replacement parts after warranty is over.

It's a myth that German Cars are built to last. This BMW 3 Series E36 323i Comfort Edition model was produced in the period between Mar-1997 and Mar-1998 model years. I really don't like to spend time fixing cars but dealer would have charged hundreds of dollars because they never would take the time to replace the small plastic gear in the motor, too time consuming. Like all cars, BMW uses plastic parts that break! I saved myself a fortune by replacing a little plastic gear in the seat motor.
