Vehicle Description
This 29,843 original miles 1984 BMW 325E is one of 285,134 built-in
1984 for the North American market and is presented in Hennarot Red
exterior with black interior. The 325e uses the stronger Getrag 260
5-speed with a 3.23 rear gear ratio. The 325e was an economy
version and was released as a lower revving, more fuel efficient
engine. The E is an abbreviation for eta, which is used to
represent the thermal efficiency of a heat engine. To maximize
low-rev torque, the engine was the largest available in an E30,
aside from the South Africa-only 333i model. The 2.7 L (160 cu in)
engine had a longer stroke than the 2.5 L, with a more restrictive
head, four cam bearings instead of seven (less internal friction),
and single valve springs (instead of the dual valve springs used by
the 2.5 L engine). This resulted in 90 kW (120 hp) at 4250 rpm and,
more importantly, 240 N�m (180 lb�ft) at 3250 rpm.[25][24] (without
catalytic converter) Peak torque for the 2.5 L (150 cu in) engine
is 215 N�m (159 lb�ft) at 4000 rpm. The front MacPherson struts and
rear semi-trailing arm suspension are a compact arrangement that
leaves a lot of cabin and boot space for the car's overall size.
