    325is make a good daily driver?

    Hey guys - I'm looking at a 325is as a daily driver. I put about 20-25k miles on a car a year and wonder if the 325's require a lot of maintenance. Thanks

    what year are you looking at?

    95 and up and you'd have a GREAT daily driver....the engines are bullet proof!

    well.....thats true, but the the newer engines (can remember the exact call number) have a few kinks worked out, as would any later year of any car.....

    but your right, take care of your car and it will run forever....

    My 92 325is is my daily driver year round'. Regular maintenance pales in comparison to to upgrade bug costs. Bottom line...if you get a well maintained 325 it will run forever. Preventative maintenance is key. The E36 is also a fun car to work on. Good luck.
    happy motoring
