This car is very expensive to maintain, or maybe because its 14 years old. When I bought the car I put over $2,000 dollars into maintenance. The last owner only drove it and let it fall apart with age. I put New Belstein shocks and struts. Brakes and rotors. Full dealer service tune up. New passenger leather door panel. The CD changer in the trunk was broke when I bought it so I put a alpine cd player in the front. New Tire. Basically after maintenance the car is really in new conditon, will run a nother 100,000 miles no problem.
Wow this car is really fast for a 2.5 liter and only making 189hp. the paint is excellent bright red looks new people ask me all the time If I just had it waxed. The interior is so clean I love the two tone leather door panels. I still need to replace the back leather panels they were pufferd out when I bought it. I just haven't gotten around to getting them replaced because of other little issues that come up. This car is completely stock and has 16" sport tires and a stick, car handles good. I do want to lower it and add 18's or 19's and a strut bar to really make it handle like a dream. I'm 19 so me and my friends are into speed. The Bimmer is in every car conversation and it usually whens cause of the famous M power. We usually take long trips in my bimmer cause its so comfortable. Some Times I find my self on the freeway just looking to have fun with other sports cars. I plan on always having a BMW. I don't want to sell my 1993 BMW 325is because I put to much money into it to get it to look and drive like new. so I'm going to buy a 2000 E46 328ci, because I think it will be a nice upgrade frome my 1993 325is in some ways.
This was my BMW review, I crashed it in Aug. I'm now looking to by a 1990 E30 BMW 325is with a stick.
Thanks for your review, shame about the accident. I'm sure you'll have more fun with a manual though.
90's BMW's are great.
