    2001 325ci newbie

    Hello all, I just was wondering the major differences between the 325i and the 325ci? I'm going to be trading my full size truck for a 325ci. I know a little about the e36 but not so much for the e46. Does the e46 have the same trouble with the rear shock mounts as an e36? Any info you can share would be really helpful.
    Thanks guys!!

    I do not know about the shocks, but I can tell you there are a lot of known issues that you will learn. I enjoy my 323Ci, but have enough open items to take care of on other vehicles we use. Post photos.

    Whatever BMW you select have it undergo a pre-purchase inspection(PPI) performed by a reputable indie shop that specializes in bimmers. Try www.bimrs.org. There’s no such thing as a cheap BMW.

    Maintenance work is definitely inevitable. The preinspection is to see how well the previous owner(s) took care of the vehicle. One thing to look for is if they let it get overheated. These engines are not very forgiving of that.
