darkwolf 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 Can anyone tell me the difference between a 323i and a 325i E36. Thanks Although engine size is different the 325 runs the M50B25 first produced in 1991. The 323 runs the M52B25 produced in 1995 to replace the M50. More info can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_E36 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M50#M50B25 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M52#M52B25 According to the above sources the M50 produced more power.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 Both are 2.5L. The 325 has more HP from the factory while the 323 is restricted from the factory (single exhaust). M52 is a better engine, more torque down low. I would say get the 323, but of course you should drive both to see for yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
