Fun Forever
Eric, 06/11/2008
1993 BMW 3 Series 325i 4dr Sedan
Bought it new. Now 15 years old, 120K on odometer, we'll make 200k easy, the ultimate keeper. Still looks great, inside and out. 20 mpg city - 29 mpg highway, low ratios keep T/E mileage down. Classic lines, never out of style. Lots of bolt-on go fast available. Any BMW over 5 years is a DIY car, dealer rates and parts will kill you.

1993 BMW 3 Series 325is 2dr Coupe
Great fun at a reasonable price. Superb handling plus good acceleration with optional Dinan chip (well worth it). At nearly 110k miles, car is a solid and trouble free as when it was bought.

Car is approaching 250000 miles. I love the car little on the pricey side for repairs but I just can't get rid of the car still looks good and performs well.

Long Term Bimmer
Eric Rohrbach, 10/20/2003
1993 BMW 3 Series 325i 4dr Sedan
Bought it new. Been thru all the
electronic crises, a little expensive,
mostly annoying. But - the car is
definately worth the trouble. Has
always been totally reliable and a
hoot to drive.
Lousy in snow, but good winter tires
in all four corners transforms it into
an acceptable performer. Would buy it
all over again....
