My 325e has turned me to the dark side.

[TopOfTheLine89]

I bought my 87 325e a year ago and before that i had a 88 300zx turbo that was quick enough to have fun with. Anyway after a year of driving the horribly sluggish 325e and seeing how much it costs to go turbo or make it anywhere near fast i have officially turned to the dark side.

I used to think domestics were lame and a waste of gasoline. Over the year of 325e driving and everything being complicated and expensive i have started to admire the simplicity and raw power of american v8's. I found a domestic that i could drive without feeling like a dumb mustang or camaro kid. Tomorrow or the next day i am purchasing a ford fairmont powered by a carbed 302. I though this day would never come.

I still enjoy driving the 325e and its looks but with how easy it is to mod the 302 i may never put another dollar into its performance.

Yay for you?

[Jand3rson]

So you came here to tell us about much more you like domestics now than E30s? Awesome. Door's wide open.

[JasonC]

The 302 in it isn't all that high performance. It was just made to go from point a to b. It will need help of aftermarket performance parts.

[Miasma]

High five?

[bolognablake]

Just put the 302 in the e30. Duh.

[TDE30]

Well, whatever makes you happy I guess. I don't know where everyone gets off with this notion that a 325e is horribly, pathetically slow, but if you like big V8 power and lots of torque, it might not be your kettle of fish.

[kenika65]

Should have just dropped a v8 in the e.

[FJ40]

You are fucking stupid.

Just as an FYI my 325E (chip and 3.25 rear end) is faster (barely) than my friends 85 Foxbody with a stock 302/5 speed. The 302 is decent motor, but unless you put every bolt-on imaginable on it it's hardly impressive. Also, a Fairmont will never be able to turn, so i hope you enjoy driving just a little bit faster in a straight line than you did in your E30 cause that's all it will be good for.

You will regret that purchase... fix your eta.

I bought my ford fairmont a year ago and before that i had a 88 300zx turbo that was quick enough to have fun with. Anyway after a year of driving the horribly sluggish ford fairmont and seeing how much it destroyed my social life, my family, my reputation and my career i have officially turned to the bright side.

I used to think e30's were lame and a waste of gasoline. Over the year of 325e driving and everything being completely awesome and miraculous i have noticed my social life is flourishing, my wife came back, people aren't afraid to talk to me anymore and I've been promoted 8 times. I found a car that i could drive without feeling like a loser. Tomorrow or the next day i am selling my ford fairmont powered by a carbed 302 and keeping my e30 forever. I though this day would never come.

I still enjoy driving the ford fairmont and its looks but with how easily it destroyed me as a person and everything i know and love i can't see myself owning anything other than gods chariot in the future.

I think you would have more fun investing in a M50 swap. Instead of buying this heap and spending a arm and leg on gas.
