bmw 325???

[Gravy_83]

Well like the title says I got a few questions about 325's. Me and my girlfriend are getting one very soon and I was wondering what are the possibilities for them. I mean can you make em fast or they just good for some nice rims and just overall show car instead of go?? Plus how are they stock??? Heard they sound amazing is this true?

you can do alot to them, too much to list, but basically if you want to make them fast(depends on what you call fast) you probably would need to go FI or drop in a 3.2. Stock they are nice cars, handle good, good styling, comfortable interiors and reliable. and they will sound pretty nice if you put an aftermarket intake and exhaust on, stock... i dont know if i would say they sound amazing. btw im talking about E36's, dont know much about E46's.

That pretty much says it all =). You can make a show or go, or hell both if you wanted to out of them =)

UHHH, I would take a 325 over the looks of that red car any day and twice on Sunday. Period, they a fast, and good great, if the 325 wasn't a nice car in speed handleing, luxury, etc then BMW wouldn't put their name on it. I love mine

yeah they look sweet i don't like mitsubishis I want a Bimma man I want class all the way. 325's look sweet, not expensive and I heard 180 hp which is more than my rx7 so I'm happy. Dunno if those are the real numbers but it's what i heard and well what companies make stuff for BMW's I know hamann does and HKS had an exhaust for it but thats all I could find

[ianv]

like i said, there are a load of companies that make parts for bmw's... for starters go to bavauto.com and tunermotorsport.com, but dont expect anything to be cheap, just for a chip, intake and exhaust id say your looking at 1500-2000 new.
and yes they have about 180 hp at the crank i believe(?)

[big_sur]

i think its around 190 actually, you can make them fast but understand what you are buying is a sports sedan not a sportscar, drive an m3 and you will understand

I have only had mine about 1.5 yrs but I can tell you it will be with me as long as I can make it last. The only way I will replace it would be with an M3 or 5 series car.
Maybe a 3.0 or 3.2 motor when this one quits.........That would help a little..........

Know you can find a nice M3 for the same price as a 325 so just go for the M3

jebus, what year RX7 do u have!?! it only got a 180 ponies? those cars are fast as hell... urs is the older without rodery or what?

The insurance cost of the M cars is too big an increase for me. I can spend a few dollars on my 325 and get the power and such and still only pay for 325 insurance.

for the person who asked I had an 88 rx7 and yes it was a rotory and only had 150 at the crank. But it was quick enough for me now if the BMW has more power yet more weight should probably be about the same and I know it won't be cheap to modify but should be worth it right

[ianv]

yes its worth it, i love mine, just dont expect a super fast car.
also if you buy used and have patience for good deals to come around, you can get parts for pretty cheap. i got my intake, jim c chip(practically new), and remus exhaust(lightly used) for about 500. there are also some do it yourself mods that will save you some money.
