A 325i would roughly be the same as a 150~160bhp starlet.
The 316 would be considerably slower.

If you want power in a BMW you'd want to go M3,saying that the 328 isnt bad but then its nearly a 3litre on tax.The 520D's are nice,and can be mapped to 200bhp and over 300ft lbs of torque,pretty nice for a diesel eh

wouldn't take one of them for the field lol awfully slow, and very hard on petrol, lad i know took a fancy for one, got it, and stuck it back up for sale 2 weeks later, said he couldn't keep petrol in it. i'd stick to the tsport, cool car and something different. can be gotten very cheaply in the uk now and vrt is ok on them too, check out pistonheads

Massively slow, and poor on juice because you have to work them all the time to get anywhere.

Heavy and in standard form ill handling.

basically dont buy a 4cyl petrol BMW. They are shite.
I have a 323 which is a 2.5 6cyl and isnt bad, 172bhp i belive, might be getting an e36 m3 this weekend though!! :)

No point getting a BMW 3 series if its not a 6 cyl really. Had an E36 328i and now an E46 328Ci. Look out for rust in the E36's for sure, and electrical problems and just be smart when viewing, check everything possible - bit of common sense really mate!
