BMW 325is

[Guest Philosophy]

So, guys! I am getting a new car Thursday (If everything goes to plan). It is a 1995 BMW 325is, With a lot of upgraded parts from the M3. Performance package and technology package. It needs the control arm bushings replaced the guy selling it has then and will give them to me with the car I am excited, what do you guys think?

I will for sure make sure of all of this. I have never had a daily driver post 1995. I know the common occurrences. It only has 119,000 miles.

Yeah for this:  Looks good, doesn't chug gas though, eh? :lol:

Test drive it to find out. Wouldn't doubt it's double the gas mileage than the gut sucking 5.0 was.

For sure, double would be 18 freeway. I imagine any V6 is better than that. It has same amount horsepower also, which is sad. 

 

Plus lower miles by a few thousand.

Nope it's an auto. I honestly wish it was manual but for me it is not a huge issue. I have done a auto to manual transition before. If it becomes a big deal I might do that.

Manuals have a 0-60 time that is 0.5 second faster

and are more efficient if you drive them right. And for me it's a lot more personal, I feel more like I'm driving the car.

Care to name a few? I can't find people with problems on forums. And car-complaints websites seems to think highly of them.

I do too, but for me it is not a big deal.

Nice...a little to round for me. I like the older 3 series models (e21/e30).

 

That's an e36 right?

for a second there I thought you could have bought my mom's old car she sold to someone else recently but it was a manual but it looked like that but maybe not as cleen looking as that one.

I'm kinda weirded out by direct trades and trades in general. Make sure you don't get a dud  

Looks great though.
