Description

This 2005 BMW 3 Series 325Ci Sport delivers a lively, involving drive thanks to its smooth 2.5‑litre straight-six and rear‑wheel drive layout. The car rewards enthusiastic cornering with precise steering and a poised chassis, while the manual gearbox keeps the driver in control. Refinement is strong for its age, with a satisfying exhaust note.

Practical enough for everyday use, the coupe offers comfortable seating for four, a well‑finished leather interior and a sensible boot for weekend luggage. With modest mileage and a sporty specification, it’s an appealing package for someone seeking a classic, driver‑focused BMW that balances performance with economical running costs.
