it depends how you drive tbh. im a very slow driver usually and have both a 320 and a 325. when im driving i dont feel any difference whilst driving sensible. aslong as it has that straight 6 pur then thats all that matters.

whilst looking for my E30 i was more interested in how clean the body was. engines are just like any other car and can be swapped at any time. its an old car, just make sure its a solid one! and if you want to speed, just do what i do and have a nova for that.

if ya wanna cheap e30 325, get a touring, the ins is cheaper, and usually theyre looked after more. plus the extra bit of boot makes it even more tail happy...
