Hey guys,

I need some advice. I've been doing a bunch of research and am strongly considering buying either a 1991 325i or a 1993 325is. I'm curious if you guys have some input about the pros/cons of each. If the pricing is relatively similar (within $500 or so), what would you choose?

Also, i saw an ad for a 93 325is for sale in my area. It has some sort of electrical problem in which 1) When the power doors are locked, the trunk does not lock and 2) when trying to lock the trunk manually, the license plate light turns on. Does this sound like something that would cost a ton of money to fix?

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate the help.

In the early 90's the 3 series had a lot of electrical problems, especially the 1993 models. If i were you i would look at 1994+. The 1991 and the 1993 are totally different cars, the 91 is too old. The 93 is more sporty, being a two door and all. I wouldn't go for a car that already has an electrical problem. By the way whats your price range, i am sure there isn't much of a price difference between the 93, and 94 models.

I have a 93 325iS and have had no issues with anything (knock on wood). I am currently at about 85000 mi.

I have a 93 325 is and I am very pleased with it.:thumbup: It has 135,000 miles and other than an oxygen sensor and a few minor things there has been nothing wrong with it. It rides smooth and as said before it is a 2 door and more sporty.

Is the '91 an E36 or is it an E30? Pretty obvious question, but didn't see it up there....if it were an E30, I'd definitely go with the '93:bigpimp:
