could be a scam as in the heading it says it's a 323i model but engine size in description it's says 325i!

but if NOT then it could be a steal! never know the reserve COULD be Ł3000 plus then thats NOT that cheap imo!

it hasnt met reserve so could be a normal price.
wasnt the 323 the same engine as a 325 but de-tuned?

Ł3k sounds about right to me with 113k miles

And yes, it's always slow this time of year!

Yes!

Both 2494 cc and I think there's something different with the heads?

Around 170 bhp for the 323 and 190 bhp for the 325.

As said both engines are 2.5, the 2.3 being detuned mainly by a restrictive inlet manifold.

its like the 740 / 540 bmws - the early ones were 4.0's but later ones where 4.4's..

850 V12 uprated model was a 5.6

Some 318's are 1.9 litre as well iirc...

BMW have odd names LOL

Not like Ferrari! 308 - 3 litres 8 cylinders, 288 - 2.8 litre 8 cylinders LOL
