1987 BMW 325 Reviews
“Favorite Birthday Present Of All Time!”
Nearing 300K on its original engine; the clutch didn't even wear out until 237K. Need I say more?
“The Most Brilliant German Convertible To Come Out Of The 1980's.”
This stunning BMW 325iC has beamed in straight from the '80's, and hit the ground speeding. The fantastic, versatile inline six paired with the responsive five-speed manual transaxle provides the lucky driver with a rewarding performance quotient, while the nimble suspension achieves a magnificent balance between great handling and comfort. And who can argue with the responsiveness of rear-wheel drive? The interior showcases technology considered very advanced for its time, like an on-board trip computer and premium audio system with CD player. So put the top down, hop inside, let the premium leather-trimmed sport seats hug you, and jam that accelerator to the floor!
this was the best 3000 dollars i ever spent.did full suspension,brakes,and a little motor work to it.it was the funnest car i ever drove,i wish i never would have sold it.
Had a blast with it, handles awesome and even better when on coilovers.
This was a great little e30, had great handling, excellent feeling brakes but always seemed
to be lacking in power until 3000 rpm, which only left 1800 rpm until the redline. It
handled winter roads without a hiccup and was a great car for going up to the ski hill in,
that is if you could fit your skis/snowboard into it if you didn't have a ski rack. The
automatic transmission was my only real complaint, but only because it was an automatic.
The interior was excellently laid out, the three different control sticks for operating the
headlights, signals, cruise control, etc. made for easy operation even when wearing gloves
in winter, however the great heater ensured that you didn't have to wear
gloves for long. The exterior's only real flaw was the plastic/fiberglass front fender skirt
was prone to become loose (at least on mine) and it eventually broke loose while driving at
65 mph, destroying the plastic but luckily nothing else was damaged. This car was really
easy to work on for all normal maintenance (oil changes, replacing the brakes, replacing
the lower control arm bushings, etc) but was also a royal pain when more serious things
went wrong. The starter was a bugger to replace, as well as the water pump and oil pan.
Another random thing that went wrong was one of the wires on the starter came loose
while driving, causing all of the gauges to go out. This was a pain to diagnose along the
side of the road in the dead of winter, but a real easy fix. All in all though a great little car
that I really would like to pick up again, however I would probably go for its sister, the
1988 325is instead for the manual transmission, higher revving engine and body color
metal front fender skirt.
through responsive steering and good overall road feel, good mileage.
common to mountain roads and electrical problems developed after the car sat for a few
month without use.
