Its a US version 325e with "diver board" bumpers
bumpers look hideos, in most people opions..
325e has a 2.7 eta engine, its low revving and pretty economical.
It is slower and far less powerful than injection 2.5 engines.

Those stupid bumpers were a result of the American "5Mph rule".
That one in the pic does not look like an IX, either a standard 4dr 325i or a 325E

325ix 4 wheel droves had the arch extentions but they never came with a 2.7 engine as standard.
So my guess is either it's had a 2.7 built off the 2.5 lump or someone has put an eta 2.7 in it from a 325e. Probably the latter
Maybe still some wierdo has fitted the ix bodykit to a 325e?
who knows!
