I drive a 1990 535i myself, and the key to these cars is how they have been maintained. That being said, when I decided to get into the bimmer scene I was told by some coworkers (all with bimmers) to go for a 5 series as they are made so much more solid over the 3 series, so far (1 year) the thing has been an incredibly reliable tank! I think there is good and bad in every year/make....getting that old tho, I think it is all in how it was treated/maintained. I ended up having to replace everything rubber (motor/tranny mounts/driveline hanger/guibo/thrust arms/steering links) due to what seems to be was the age but it rides better than my 99 Grand Prix that i had prior to this...

Save a few extra ducats and get yourself a 328i coupe. They have a 2.8L engine instead of a 2.5L, and although the 2.8L only makes 1 more hp then the 2.5L, it makes something like 20 ft. lbs. more torque.

i had a 92' and it broke constantly, if you are looking at one, make sure you have a mechanic you trust check it thoroghly. its been 2 years since i got rid of my piece of and i'm still bitter. plus what NOTORIOUS VR said about first and second year cars is something you should consider as well. BTW the 328s only came out in 96' and it would be way out of the price range of a 92-94 325I. don't believe what they say about bimmers, that they would last forever, cause they REALLYYY don't. i guess it depends on the car and the driver as well but like i said i'm still very bitter.

The 92s had rear sub-frame problems, it was fixed in years after that.
Older BMWs aren't for ppl who would run to a mechanic to change a fuse or a bulb/brakes, if u can fix things yourself, it becomes alot less costly to own one.

thats true with almost any car, my buddy has a 94 bimmer and he keeps it maintained really well, does most stuff himself, only had problems with his fuel pump and power windows
