Back when BMW’s we’re still the Ultimate Driving Machine. This was the last “pure” generation. Others would argue it ended with the E46, some even with the E36. I would still own an E90. The end of the naturally aspirated straight 6 was the end of an era in the 3 series.
I own this car, 05 and here's a little personal review for anyone interested. The car is just spot on to be in and to drive. Its more comfy than you think it is. Its super nice to cruise around and you could go all day and never press throttle more than 10% and never reach more than 1800rpm. But theres always something so inviting to just feel it a bit, to go half throttle, to reach 3000rpm,boot it out of the corner,reach 4000 or 5, just like this little drive shows here. It has so many little niggles, it uses a bit of oil which is normal for it and after two years owning it even still a few things poped up, although i think its almost in perfect condition now and should hold itself there for a long while now too. Its just no other car just feels so right. Its always so inviting to go for a drive or go somewhere. Its at such ease, eventhough I always try to preserve it, if i need to pass 3 cars and a truck I can just boot it and be done with it in 1/8th of a mile. I just wish to have it perfect and hold it there for 3-5 more years. Im hard pressed to find a good replacement when the time comes.
You keep teasing my heart with this 325i. Back in 2006 or there abouts, BMW had an annual event called The Ultimate Drive, and the closest dealer to me was a Herb Chambers there in Boston, on BU's campus I believe. For that year, they had the whole line of cars available to be driven, even an oddball Alpina. I enjoyed all of their cars, especially the Z4 but the 325i they had on offer won my heart. Stepping out of my own car, the 325i felt solid. It was a nice place to be and dead simple. Leatherette, automatic, just basic. I've never forgotten that car and I think it's always affected my feelings on car choice. Yes, it'd be nice to have all of the power in the world, with all of the new technology and features. But, there's something so inviting on just having the uncomplicated essentials.
I juss bought this car for $700 as is. 200k miles, all it needs is two rear tires & a crank position sensor. I’m excited to own a BMW. Everybody said it’s a money pit lol but I’m up for the challenge lol
Everyone's going back on here remember the time when BMW used to have normal looking Grills. And BMW's actually look like BMW's cars full for the hot bros and babes...not big grill shite for the tik tokers
@@Lucky8s yeah but Germans make you pay an arm and a leg for options that come standard in Japanese and Korean cars for example, people who buy any base model German car over a fully equipped Japanese/Korean car is only chasing the badge, nothing else
@@gbaby6774 I've owned 3 gens of 5 series and think they went way downhill with the F series cars circa 2011. Blindfolded I would have guessed it a Lexus bc almost zero steering feedback with the electric power system.. I sold that 2013 after one year and still have my 2010
@@gbaby6774 the M2 is awesome in every way except for still steering feedback compared to say the 1M. Sounds like it might not be a problem in the new m2 CS
Still a timeless looking car

city fuel consumption?
@@DjordjeSrpski depends how congested the city is. Can be anything between 11 and 15.
exactly what i wanted to hear, thank you, someone told me it goes up to 20l if it's xdrive.@@NDakovic
@@DjordjeSrpski no problem and 20l is a lie, or their engine was completely out of order. 1 or 1.5l more for xdrive id assume.

Probably the most underrated BMW 3 series ever released. E9X is always known for either a 328i or 335i, yet this one doesn’t get enough fuss.
This one doesn’t deserve any fuss because it’s the worse one 😂
@@oskar3567 there are much worse ones in North America you can buy 323i with 180hp and in Europe there was 316i with like 115hp. LOL
@@oskar3567 I have the 325i and is a great car. The worst ones are the 316i and the 323i

Best car ever built in bmw. Timeless design. Own one
Anyone agree this is one of the best cars worth 4 figures?
It's definitly the better interior lightening compared to nowadays with ambient lights.

My 325i 06 window regulator cable just snapped😂 love the car!!
Exactly what I was looking for thanks
I love your pov videos

nice car btw
My first car was car was a 2008 328 , loved it !
I love this bmw❤❤❤ it is my dream 🥹
The days when you could buy a 3 series for under 30K out the door😂
Germans like to rip people off with their car prices
@@ryadhasanahmed5443
Let's be fair though. Compare this 3 series with a modern 2020 3 series and price increase is justified.

no

My aunt and cousins as well.

give me a N/A straight six over the uninspiring, clattery, timing chain prone failures of the new turbo 4's anyday
I’ve owned 3 3 series and I like the new ones way more than the old ones.
