"quirky dog-leg gearbox" -- I'd give me hind teeth for one!

Good article, found it a few weeks ago while looking for some E30 pics.
My favourite line:
"the car can be immensely enjoyable on a clear, damp and twisty road in the right hands"

Yeah, the worst line for me is
''The 6-cylinder is notoriously thirsty if driven hard, and can struggle to see 20mpg. ''

If you buy a Sport though you've just gotta say "who cares?" about the fuel economy.
An M3'd be a lot easier on the fuel than the 325i wouldn't it?

Good article Gav...
Shame there's no pics though!
They call it the 'Motorsport' which is wrong too

I liked this little bit of the article and its sooo true!!!!!!
'Although it is still seen as a capable BMW Sports model in most of Europe, the 325i Sport has now gained a cult following in Northern and Southern Ireland. Like the RWD Toyota Corolla GT Coupe before it, the 325 is now more famous for being seen drifting and performing doughnuts at cruises than for its original merit. As such, it is becoming increasingly hard to find a very clean one which hasnÔš't been abused much; to do so, youÔš'll probably have to travel to England.'
I wont be doing much at cruises but you have to kick the tail out occasionally ;)
