Car and Driver rated the 325is (1988) at 7.2 0-60 , 1/4 at 15.2 (after 30k miles) last time I checked 8#}.
Automobile magazine rated new 325is 1/4 [email protected].
Gee , aint quotiin funner than the dickens!
Sounds like we need a race. I'll let you have the newer version. Can someone out there lend me a 1988 325is for a day 8-]. I wont hurt it, I promise.

Actually I will take your word on it. I refuse to test it (new 325is) because
I love BMW's and would probably want to buy it. Problem is, my income just doesn't support that.
