...year, I replaced my 1999 BMW 323iSE saloon with a 2002 BMW 325i Sport. The 323iSE was a very impressive car, and my first from the marque. It gave me several thousand miles of problem free motoring. It was also surprisingly economical for a 2.5 litre straight 6 cylinder, generally returning an average of 31 miles per gallon. However, the mileage was getting a little high (80,000 miles in 3 years), so I looked again to BMW for its replacement. Originally, ... ...mentioned a low mileage 2002 BMW 325i Sport that he had in stock. Obviously as the car was newer, with a much lower mileage, it was more expensive than their 330i. However, the advantages over the 330i were many - a longer warranty, higher resale value and of course, as it was a 2002 model, it was the later face-lifted car. It also looked gorgeous with its Topaz blue metallic paintwork and high-gloss trim. After a test drive (where the salesman ably ...

...their best. I own a BMW 325ci 03 plate on around 50k. It has the 2.5 straight 6 cylinder engine, and has the "M-sport" exterior package, which in my opinion, makes the car particularly the 18" alloys. Its surprising how few cars have this exterior package option, and it really makes the car stand out from all the (unfortunately) other 3 series BMW's out there. The car itself is fantastic. The engine pulls hard, and the automatic "steptronic" box ... ...visually stunning and amazing to drive car, you could do far worse than a BMW 325ci. Add in the fact that its practical (to convince the mrs, thats if she wasnt convinced by the looks!) and its a car that surprises in many ways and is always enjoyable to drive. ...

COSTS
Genuine BMW parts can be pricey but with companys like Eurocarparts and German and Swedish parts can be affordable. Can happily average 30mpg and above but i have got into the low teens with spirited driving. Can be a bit of bargain i paid £300 at an auction and they don't seem to go much above £800 these days.
RELIABILITY
Very depndable in the time i had it never once did it let me down i once read of a texas bank who had ... ...think best shows how well they are made. When they do go wrong there easy to work on.
DRIVING
Very comfortable on long journeys thanks to absorbant suspension and unstressed engine. Has great overtaking ability thanks to the big torque the engine has. Steering gives decent feedback at speed and power steering makes it very easy on the arms low speeds. Brakes are good in normal use with effective ABS for a car of this age. Althogh brake fade can ...

Advantages: Fantastic build quality and driveability Disadvantages: I'm still looking for one!
Ok, I've just moved from a Ford so I'm bound to be impressed with a BM! To some extent, getting into the 325 is a bit of a trip back in time. The modern sweeping lines of my Ford Focus have given way to a much more conventional and germanic design but having said that, the interior of the 325i is clean, well laid-out and unfussy. It has a kind of heavy feel - solid and classy. Mine is an auto model, and they really have that down to a fine art now. ...
