The 2000 BMW 325 and 325xi represent the fifth generation of the iconic 3 Series, a model known for its sporty handling, refined design, and premium features. These compact executive sedans, built upon the E46 platform, were offered in both rear-wheel drive (325) and all-wheel drive (325xi) configurations.

The engine, known for its smooth and responsive nature, could accelerate the 325 from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. The 325xi, equipped with the same engine, delivered comparable performance, albeit with slightly slower acceleration due to additional weight. Both models featured a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the 3 Series offered a well-appointed cabin with leather upholstery, wood trim, and a premium audio system.
