It was free, but not worth it. Once you get a car this old
it's hard to find parts for, and the more you put into it, the more expensive it is until you wonder if it was cheaper to
buy a better car to begin with. The performance was
decent, although the 2.5 L 168 hp (@ 6500 rpm) V6 engine
is a bit dated compared to modern cars (28 more HP than a
2010 Honda Civic). 0- 62 in 9.7 secs isn't exactly stellar,
but it's not terrible either. One important thing to note that
since it was an 325xi meant that it had all wheel drive
(unusual) and that it was also a coup. Since it was free, it
needed alot of work done, and in the end it got
junked...but if you find one in decent condition by all
means try to get it functional, but remember that the cost
of the car + repair probably should not equal the price of a
new car if it's going to be your daily driver.

Pros: AWD + It's a BMW
Cons: Old + Unreliable + Hard to find parts

Best Sports Saloon ever built. Monster low end torque, leading to good trap speeds, and 0 - 100 times. If you decide to swap teh engine head to a 323i part, then it transforms the cars character into a real sport car, essentially creating a 327i. Classic, timeless looks, direct intuitive steering. SHEER DRIVING PLEASURE.

Pros: Moster Torque for Engine Size, Timeless Looks, Great Build Quality.
Cons: Expensive Parts

nice torque, suspension needs modification. BMW biuld quality! Not very revy but you get power (although not to much) from the bottom end. Rear wheel drive is cool and this car also shows up the BMW e30 specific oversteer behaviour.

Pros: torque
Cons: fuel consumption, not to revy

best car to own if you know anything about cars. easy to fix, easy to source most parts, large fanbase for help.

One strong car. It's 23 y/o and still pulls hard, corners great, and gets 28mpg. Still kicks ass at the autocrosses.

It's one awesome car. great on the track, great on the road, great on the highways. No other car comes close.

Pros: it has more things standard than most new cars have as options.
Cons: some parts cost way too much for a car of this age and it has a 4800 redline

I like the way it handles. very fast around corners. the car has more brakes then it knows what to do with. the acceleration leaves alot to be desired. what do you expect it came with 121 hp. for 2009 i think the car will make about 140 hp to the ground

Pros: carner ability
Cons: no acceleration

It has a few little things I need to fix with the engine but that is expected with a car of this year but once those are fixed this car will be the sweetest piece of eye candy on the road. E30 body style is one of BMW's best, and with the lowering kit on there it give it such an aggressive look from the front end.

Pros: Great look, solid frame, and turns heads like you wouldn't believe
Cons: Engine has over 200k on it
