I'm the owner, the only owner.

I purchased my BMW 325ic in 1992.I have kept every service record.This car is my baby.It is very fun to drive, has a good-sized back seat.The body was painted last year (cashmere) and I had all new leather put inside.I also installed the ultimate luxury-- cupholders.The body style looks exactly like a vintage Mercedes.Because it is getting up in years, it has needed several new parts: … brake linings, exhaust system and now, the air conditioning kit.I am considering a new car so I have not had the air fixed yet.Also, the chocolate top needs to be replaced but bathtub caulk keeps it from leaking. If you have the opportunity to own one of these, take it. People stop and ask me about it.

Riding on Rails

1992 BMW 3 Series 325i 4dr Sedan
We bought this car for our daughter,
not so she could have a "cool" car, but
for safety and reliability. Little did
I know that I would like it more than
she does. Performance is excellent.
The first 3-4 seconds of acceleration
are a little slower than I'd expect
(auto trans), but once the beefy 6
cylinder gets revved, it's a horse.
Smoothness and handling on the …
interstate are my favorite parts. It's
like riding on rails.

Ups at downs at 215k miles

Bought this second or third hand from a guy who blew the head gasket. I was pissed, but 2600 for a gasket vs 1200 for a new engine package, I swapped engines. Parts are cheap for this car folks, if you are handy you can conquer this one. FYI the broken gasket engine was because he overheated it by not changing the water pump at regular guidelines.
You need to do matinence on the car, … just regular stuff, she will run forever. Ive only replaced water pump and alternator at regular intervals once... so this car has been beaten bad. Ive also done suspension parts, small stabilizers and struts, routine. I kill this thing all over the USA and she is a trooper... Im impressed.
