I really loved that car, more than any other I have had. Got married a few years later, wife could not drive a manual - I tried to teach her, but just could not watch it in my beloved BMW. BMW was sold and we moved into married life with kids and a long line of a mini van, some Volvo's (wife still drives on and loves it ) and several Lexus's, all very reliable but boring cars. Fast forward to last year and I bought another BMW - X3 - and love it, brought back those old 325 memories. I am so happy with my X3, we just helped our daughter buy a 2025 X1 - she was a Volvo fan also, but I encouraged her to look at other cars and she hands down chose the X1 - loves it.

1984 325e (E30)
2024 X3 (G01)
2025 X1 (U11)

The 325 picture is not of my car, mine was the same except dark blue color.

So cool to see that the BMW thing is still on you!

Still, something drove me to continue to fix it, and after almost two years of getting the right engine block replacement, legal twists with the customs, and mechanic traditionally not having this job as a priority, after all that, and my own o2 sensors replacement as a final touch...
This Bimmer is still alive and kicking, purring like a kitten at 600rpm and roaring like a lion at anything above 2000rpm. Many told me I'm a fool for continuing to fix it, and they probably are right. I got hooked, what can I say.

Wow! Do you a pic of it?

Unfortunately, these are the few photos that I had on my work computer to share. I do not have any photos of the 323ci, 525i or the X5 35i, I would have to look for those on my home computer.

Hello. This is my first BMW. Before it was Japanese and Audi. Below is my 26 BMW M3 Comp xDrive G80.

Unfortunately didn’t have cell phone with a camera back then. But their images are forever burned in my memory… Manual 5 series was always most enjoyable to drive.
