The BMW 325 ti Compact (E46/5) and Its Cool Features

The BMW 325 ti Compact, based on the E46 generation, was produced from 1998 to 2004. This compact car was part of BMW’s popular 3 Series line-up. The 325 ti really stands out thanks to its sporty driving experience and its robust inline-six engine. With a maximum output of 192 horsepower and a torque of 245 Nm (181 lb-ft), this model promised a dynamic ride. The design was heavily influenced by Chris Bangle, one of BMW's top designers at the time. It differed from its predecessor, the E36, mainly due to its improved aerodynamics and modern look.

Technical Specs and Build Details

The 325 ti was equipped with a 2.5-liter (152.4 cubic inches) inline-six engine, known for its precise sound and smooth power delivery. You could choose between a manual five-speed transmission or an optional automatic one. The car could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in about 7.1 seconds, making it one of the quicker models in its class. The build featured a high-quality suspension system and the typical BMW rear-wheel-drive architecture, delivering a well-balanced driving experience. Interestingly, the 325 ti also served as a base for some Alpina modifications, with the company Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH being founded in 1965 and contributing various high-performance components.
