    I was thinking the door tag only had gross weight listed over each axle? not sure tho....

      ~3,600lbs isn't terrible for a full size wagon I guess, but it definitely deserves an engine that makes more than 300lb-ft.

          518i... It's just so awful. 3,350lbs, 115hp... 12.8 seconds 0-60.



          A BMW that is slower than my Wife's Corolla, I wouldn't even drive it I'd just have it towed to my garage and rip the engine out as fast as I could. There's a good chance my car would complete the 1/4mi before a 518i hit 60.

            For reference, the PtWR makes a 518i fall somewhere between a 70s 300D, and a Toyota Prius. Additionally, a VW Up from years ago would spank the E34 in a drag race.

            Mmm, what's not to love?

              Intriguing, inexpensive, 325is in Hollywood, FL.

              Positives: lots of recent service and repair. Only $3,500

              Not-so-positives: 223K on it, Bronzit (blah), fading paint, extremely minor rust

                Looks pretty well maintained if you ask me. Definitely worth the 3500.

                        Clean 240SX S13 - $7000


                        I hate drifting so much. For a long time I've wanted to add a 240sx to my collection, either a s13 or s14, but the drifting douches just can't seem to resist trashing these and driving the price up for anything that's still in one piece.
