The BMW 325, 325e, and 325es models were produced by BMW between 1986 and 1987. These cars marked the third generation of the BMW 3 Series, building upon the success of previous iterations. While sharing the same body style and chassis, the 325, 325e, and 325es differed in their powertrain and trim levels. The 325 was powered by a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-six engine producing 170 horsepower, offering a balanced blend of performance and efficiency. The 325e, a more fuel-conscious option, featured the same engine but with a lower compression ratio and electronic fuel injection, resulting in 150 horsepower. The 325es, a sport-oriented variant, received further tuning to its engine and suspension, delivering 177 horsepower and enhanced handling characteristics. All models were equipped with a five-speed manual transmission as standard, with a four-speed automatic offered as an option. The 1986 BMW 3 Series exemplified the brand's commitment to driving dynamics and refinement. The cars featured a unibody construction, McPherson strut front suspension, and a semi-trailing arm rear suspension, providing a balanced and engaging driving experience. The interior offered a blend of practicality and premium materials, with comfortable seating, a well-designed dashboard, and ample storage space. While the 325, 325e, and 325es models were not produced for a long period, they cemented their place in automotive history as highly sought-after classic cars. Their sleek design, capable engines, and enduring quality continue to attract collectors and enthusiasts alike, ensuring these vehicles remain relevant and desirable even decades after their production ended.
