The BMW 3 Series is a compact car from a Bavarian manufacturer. The series is produced from 1975 to the present. This article will talk about the BMW 325 in the back of the E90 and its technical characteristics. Let's start with a general description of this model and the history of the "troika".
Generation story
Marking 325 belongs to the fifth generation of cars of the third series. BMW began production of this car in the back of the E90 since 2005. The sedan was produced for 8 years with several restylings. In 2013, the F90 replaced the E90.
Despite the fact that the BMW 325 practically did not change during the entire production period from the outside and in technical design, it is still popular in the secondary market. Let's look at the appearance of the sedan and get acquainted with the technical characteristics.
Exterior and interior
From the start of production of this generation, BMW's style began to take on new features that over time became classics. In front, the car is still reminiscent of previous generations due to the company’s branded grille. The headlights became more athletic, the lines took on a swift look. The only thing that spoils the overall impression of the BMW 325 E90 is the rear optics, which has remained unchanged since the first release of this body. However, this does not bother fans of the third series. The front of the body is made in an aggressive style, which is succinctly complemented by branded wheels.
Inside you will find a classic BMW: ergonomics, layout and shape of the controls - all this has remained unchanged for many years. Despite the compact size, in the "three rubles" it is convenient to sit even for rear passengers. In this regard, all competitors of this class from the German automakers are the same. The sedan is perfect for a small family, suitable for urban daily trips and trips to the country with comfort and necessary luggage. Before the advent of the first series, this class was considered the cheapest and most affordable among the entire BMW model line; therefore, it was very popular.
Specifications
Now we turn to the characteristics of the model BMW 325. It was produced in four versions. The first two options are 325i AT and 325i MT, which differ in automatic and manual gearboxes, respectively. Otherwise, the differences in engine performance are minimal. Both units give out 218 horsepower. Auto mechanics accelerate to hundreds in 7 seconds and “require” 8.4 liters of gasoline per 100 km, and the 325i AT sedan accelerates in 7.7 seconds and eats about 9 liters.
The following trim levels are the BMW 325 xi AT and 325 xi MT. These configurations are characterized by the presence of permanent four-wheel drive. Otherwise, the characteristics completely repeat the above configurations.
In addition to the sedan, there are three more bodies in the model line - station wagon, coupe and coupe-cabriolet. The last two options are currently inaccessible in the secondary market. According to the technical characteristics of these cars, the differences are minimal, and most often they are associated with aerodynamic features.
Conclusion
BMW 325, despite its age, remains a very popular model from the Bavarian company. Balanced power, still relevant design, coupled with an adequate price, affect high demand in the used car market.
