Really like these atm, just got a quote for £1500 on one aswell which i think is ok considering it's a grp 17.. look ace with set of 17" alpinas imo

What's peoples opinions? They seem to go for anything between £1500-£4000, so £2.5k should buy an ok one..

Has anyone ever driven/owned or been in one?

They come with lsd/recaro's all electrics as std, but that's as much as I know.

Would appreciate opinions, cheers.

search for Colin J's post on these the other day.

IMO excellent fun to drive, very punchy, loadsa torque, and of course a slip diff on the sport model.

I know of a rover 216 which runs a 15.7 / 15.8 qtr mile

another mate of mine raced it in his 325is and pulled around a car length in front to 100mph

IMO they are never worth 4k

my mate paid £1300 I think and that was in a fair condition for its age.

Engine was sound as a pound but a few parking dents and crappy paintwork let it down.

could be fully re-stored for £500-£1000

got yourself a minter for around the 2k mark

170 bhp sounds good and nismo as with colin aint gonna pay £6k for a left hooker that isover 12 yrs old.

Probably will look at picking one up for £2k then insure the fecker

Anyone know exact performance figs (7.6 to 60?)

petrol consumtion will depend on how you drive it alot more than a corsa .

motorway cruising could be about the same, but rag it through the gears and you will get around 18-19mpg

Colin, think there are several different spec of bumpers on them, they seem to look very different dependant on the bumpers...

18-19mpg is shite would have to learn to drive slowly

So you putting an m3 kit on then col?

I just want the 325 sport with the deepish bumpers set of alpina's (with the thin spokes and wheel nut covers) in grey with smoked repeaters and some sort of subtle exhaust
