In a world of butter knives, this car
is a scalpule.

Orig owner with 88k mi this car has
been a pleasure to drive/own. I've had
some minor problems with car, but
overall it's been a great car.
Amazingly after nearly 8 yrs of

on this car

I bought this car 7 years old, but I
know if I take good care of it, can
drive it (almost) forever. The ride is
smooth and comfortable, great for long
commutes. Unlike most newer cars, the
325i feels solid, I feel a new sense of
safety in it. Though 'safe'
and 'dependable' this car is
also 'fun'! Can brake on a dime, and
is quite exciting on the open road.
And NOTHING beats the jealous stares
from people driving cavaliers and the
like. :)

Highly underated car. More nimble
than a 325ic, feels more like a sports
car with the high revving motor.
Throw a performance chip in it and it
will smoke a 325ic automatic. Less
frill than the 325, but also less to go
wrong.

Very good car. BMW needs to start
bringing the 316 over from Europe

This car has been extremely durable so
far and performance is still similar to
how it was when new seven years ago.
The engine and transmission and brake
performance are still excellent, and
comfort is still there.
However, the new series is simply miles
beyond this car, no comparison.
Biggest problem has been the SRS -
Airbag system, which has been out of
action for four of the last seven years
with multiple and expensive failures.
Also lost the engine balancer and it
took the dealer a week to get it back
to me on this one. Dealer service has
been generally feeble so have resorted
to independents who have proven much
better!

Suffers the same knocks as the Infiniti
G20: low power and not enough soul.
The 4-cylinder engine will not have you
racing your engine at stoplights and
looking for trouble. Gas mileage is
less than average compared to small,
similar engined cars currently out on
the market today, 24-28mpg (with 89
octane).
Why do I love my car? Intangibles.
That kidney grill counts for something,
that taletell styling of the 3-series
sedan. The fact that I got more
attention from the upper management
types around the office...intangibles.
The price makes for a good value for a
used car and everyone will think you
spent more.

Bought this 4-banging hard runner as a pup and have put all 89,000 miles on it in a variety of environments. I run it daily on n 11-miles commute, and then again have put as many 32,000 miles on it during one year (1998). It's a blast to drive, has never let me down, and I still get questions as if it were brand new - there just aren't that many around.

This has been one of my best coupes to drive. No other car handles as tight. The interior layout is also excellent. If these cars are taken care of, problems are infrequent. But they are very expensive to repair. My fuel economy is 20 City 27 Highway. I bought it with 92K in 2000 and it has 101K now and going strong. No major mechanical problems. Just the minor annoyances - electric windows got off track from an ice storm, taillight that has a short that I can't find.
