Having been looking for a bmw coupe for several months and test driving various models i bought a 325 the car drives superb as well as looking great. It has all the buttons and gadgets you could possibly need.
having test driven the 316, 318, and 320 there was just no comparisson between them the 325 just blows them out of the water the cars appear to be flawless and if well looked after i have been informed can easily reach 200000 miles so dont be put off by high milage cars. My car has done just shy of 100000 but i had a drive in one that had done 47000 and even with the mileage i couldnt tell the difference.
as with everything there has to be a couple of downfalls. they are thirsty dont believe what the book tells you there is no chance of you getting 40mpg out of one of these closer to 30 if you drive sensibly also the servicing is quite expensive compared to lesser cars but its to be expected with a car that would have cost 20 - 30 grand new.
not from experience but from shared knowledge i have been led to believe that they are quite bad for lower arm ball joints, ball joints in general and bushes so if you test drive one be sure to listen for any knocking or play in the steering. also any knocking in general.
Advantages: looks, handling, performance a real headturner Disadvantages: fuel thirsty

After having our first baby and then quickly falling pregnant with our second we decided to change the car for something a bit more practical so we bought a brand new 316i se tourer which was a lovely car and we got some sporty wheels and aluminium trim added to make it a bit better but unfortunately it wasn't the same as our coupe. We just didn't get the buzz of driving that you do with a sporty little number so again I decided we had to change, I didn't want to be practical anymore and I went back to BMW on my own and as a surprise for my husbands birthday I bought him a 325Ci Coupe back in Jan 2004. It is silver with black cloth material and I immediately fell in love with it. Now the downside to this car is that it only...
