I would ahve to agree with this one. Plus i find the old model of cars have more charactor about them and you feel more in touch with the driving Experience as there are less driver aids! Most new cars look the same as the designers go around from company to comapny using the same shapes and designes :luxhello: |

Here are some performance figure from the latest Evo magazine.
BMW 325i SE 0-60 7.1 secs 131 bhp/tonne Max speed 149mph Impreza WRX 0-60 5.5 secs 161bhp/tonne Max speed 143mph Impreza T2000 0-60 5.4secs 177bhp/tonne Max speed 144mph No figures for the BMW 323iSE but it won't be quicker than a 325i SE. But the BMW does have a higher top speed than both Impreza's which isn't much use when on the roads. its all about the torque in the bavarians. |
holy cow, 5 year thread resurrection!!

The 323i is quicker! it has the revised mb52 engine, where the power comes in at 3400 rpm, as oppose to 4200 of the 325's with the mb50's ;)

I just read the whole thread and didn't realise how old it was. :rolleyes:

Although the 306gti6 i recently had could pretty much out pace my classic wagon once rolling in 3rd |
