About BMW 325i
If we’re talking about performance in the context of BMW models, most people will probably extol the German automaker’s M models. No, not M-Sport appearance packages, but purpose-built ones from BMW M GmbH, which are high-performance versions of the regular BMW lineup outfitted with high-performance components. These, of course, far outperform the “M-Sport” models, which merely add a sportier appearance.
In contrast to the M-Sport trims, there are some specific variants from certain BMW models that look very regular, but are actually packing a lot of power under the hood. One example is the fourth-generation E46 325i Executive variant, which was sold locally from 2002 to 2005 and was considered an outright sleeper by many in the know.
The 325i Executive was powered by BMW’s well-known inline-6 gasoline engine. It’s known as the M54, and the most powerful versions can be found on the E46 M3, as well as the Z3 M Coupe. Both of which are true-blue BMW M cars.
Aboard the 325i Executive, the said engine makes 192 horsepower and 245 Nm of torque. A five-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. That was significantly less than the E46 M3, but it was still more than enough to compete with the 325i Executive’s rivals at the time.
The 325is was an upgrade from the standard 325i, as some new features were added to the car as standard. The full electrics package, BMW sports seats, black roof-liner, BMW M-technic II body kit, BMW 14-inch BBS wheels, and a Close Ratio gearbox were all included. Other features also found on the 325is were options, however over time, some have been mistaken for standard features. These options include a Limited Slip Differential (LSD), leather interior, sunroof and BMW 15 inch BBS wheels. Options differed on vehicles produced in the United States.
An all wheel drive version, the 325ix, joined the lineup for 1986. The four-cylinder 318 was dropped in 1985, but was brought back with a new, 1.8L DOHC motor (M42B18) for 1991.
According to ProfessCarsTM, this BMW can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, 160 km/h (100 mph) in 18.7 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 34.4 seconds, and the quarter mile drag time is 15.3 seconds.
