E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted May 22 Deffo, six is always better and preferably the 2.5ltr six with the “selectable” auto box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted May 23 If I *had* to have an auto, 325i would be my only option. The autos are very old school... and kinda ruin the "fun" of an E30... but if needs must, they're still fun in other ways. 325i can be a little bit hungry around town, but better cruising and performs OK. 318i isn't quick, but not too hungry. 320i auto has the worst of both. Hungriest of the lot around town, and not quick. They do sound nicer than a 318i... and they sound like they're working hard a lot of the time, because they are 🤣 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
