I wish I could buy one of these wicked 325ti in Canada man! I actually love the styling because it's so different to normal BMW's! 👍 Super clean in white and yours looks immaculate!
Beautiful clean car and great detailed review 👏🏾 there's just something about old BMW that's clean and well maintained. I think I'm more for old set of wheels hey 😉 but the current setup looks just as cool....Nice one buddy.
Hi Usta, thank you for the kind words. The 325ti is quite the unique E46. I enjoy mine a lot. They are very much hated for their looks, but I compare them to the sedans that I often drive, the compact does offer a lot of joy that the others do not.
@@zarracelife5211 beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the e46 compact stands out in the entire e46 range, and much more sexier then the 1 series that came out to replace it
@@rekt999 Could not agree more on that one. To me, the 1 series looks like an ugly fat pug in comparison, with its tiny side windows and the almost absent Hofmeister kink. There's nothing wrong with pugs, though. ;)
Watching this after buying my 325ti also 2003 but pre facelift with the clear taillights in pistachio green ( champagne gold )... I thought my car was reasonably high spec but this is next level, my car does have the Cruze control and and the bc button and few other nice to haves like the auto dimming visor, but electric rear windows, I didn't even know that was an option, and a double din sat nav head unit... This is awesome spec... Thankfully my car was DIRT CHEAP, and low km's aswell as a bonus, 126,000km seller was selling in on behalf and didn't know the difference between a 325ti and a 318ti... So got it for $3500 less than what it's worth
Your videos must have been getting recommended a lot in Bulgaria as I'm also from there. I got myself a black sapphire m-pack pre-facelift one shortly after writing my initial comment. It does require quite a bit of work but with the tons of available resources online, it's quite easy to get most things sorted on your own with enough patience. The pleasure of driving it makes it all worthwhile at the end of the day though. Cheers!
@@XunoHa To be honest, there's not a lot of videos on the 325Ti so this is definitely one of the more informative reviews out there. My car also needed a lot of maintenance when I first got it. A year later it was close to perfect.
We bought one new in 2001....full spec from Damen Hill....Leamington Spa....top model....used by Damen as a tester for a while....Still have it....never let us down....It doesn't cope with Bulgarian Roads too well....but what does?.....so we bought a Range Rover Sport to help it out....Euro hopping.... BMW all the way....nothing bad to say....love our dark cherry red beemer....all the best....
Hi Meca, thanks for the kind words. My seats have tiny cracks, but nothing too concerning. The seats are very well known to tear at the top of the bolster ends where the clip is to lift the seat up. I bought mine on 162k km in Jan 2019 for ZAR 58000. The amount of maintenance I have put into the car has been quite substantial, but it's expect for a car of this age.
Such a nice Compact! I love the spec! Can you remember the speakers models you bought for front and rear? I want to upgrade mine and I want to hear your opinion on the REF series and JBL component.
Hey bud, thank you for the feedback. Sure is a nice spec! I had a JBL 6 inch split system at the front. GTO series. A 5.25 inch reference audio split system at the back. Sound is excellent in the car.
Hi!! was there any problems when you replaced the front speakers, were there any problems with the depth of the new speakers. In fact, I thought alpine R-series 6.5 "speakers. Your car is at nice condition!! I have also alpine white 325ti with manual transmission.
Hi I've got a 325ti auto 2001 plate with 115,000 miles drove from London fru France Switzerland to Italy ,had it 9 NINE years now !great car !,very juicy !,though !GATE13SW6CFCCREW
Been owning one for the past 5years , a powerful reliable car and exiting to drive

What a gem!! My 325ti is called Fritz - he would love your car! He's black!
Hoping to get a 318ti soon. Yours is a beauty, pragtig! These wheels make it unique 👌
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Pure Heat, really enjoyed watching this.. many more safe km’s with Bella
Thanks for the kind words sir 🙏. I'm sure Bella is going to serve we well for years to come 😉.
Hello from a fellow 325ti owner. Amazing car! Mine is red and with the M tech pack, also manual but 5 sp. Greetings from Bulgaria.
How much fuel it take per 100km?

Enjoy bud. Hope you enjoy every second with it!
Just bought a Sport 6 Speed Manual loving it after 3 months great value
I just bought my 325ti SE today, looking to put the M Sport bumper on soon!

Ey bud, thanks for the comment. I think we as car enthusiasts can relate to these old German cars. They come from the golden years 😉
@@zarracelife5211 drop your vin number(last 7 characters),interesting to see equipment from factory ^^!
325ti is a future classic best e46 money can buy

Just brought home my new 316i 💪
Had a 316ti (1.8cc VVT) super nice car but it's pretty old now, the e92 might be a better pick in 2024

Thanks for the vid, I'm currently modifying my E46 Compact
Nice Alpine Weiss man

Beautiful with Alpine Weiss!
Great handling car
Thanks a ton mate, this was super helpful!
Glad you enjoyed it bud. Let me know should you require any other information.
