The 325ix, does it die early?

i was wondering the same thing. its a shame to see.

They just suck.... that's why they get parted... (joking)

The one I posted for parts, was purchased at an insurance auction (hit in the side).... not sure about the others.... could just be a coincidence...

Oh yeah.... need any parts? (shameless plug)

Looking in the parts for sale on r3v I noticed something. Three 325ix's were currently being parted out. I see 325ix's being parted out constantly. This worries me. I love my 325ix, compare it to my friends rwd e30 in the summer and I cannot wait for winter. I do not know why any one would not up these cars. I know they all cannot be salvaged but if possibly a few less of these cars could go to the junkyard and a few more get new trasfercases I would be happy. This in lies the problem, critical parts for the 325ix are far to expensive for the average e30 owner. The truth is, sometimes more money can be made parting these rare cars out than selling them as a working whole. I know there are a few 325ix OG's online I would like to know what you think. What does the general e30 community think about 325ix's?
