Is there any other 325IX ?
Just back from Holland with my wife's IX , and , same Bmw Fan's are just looking with a funny smile to the car , like they thinking the car have a strange "body kit" .
Is this car this rare outside Switzerland and some French mountain areas ?
One of the best 4x4 so far , no electric staff , just 4WD with a rear diff .
I bought the car to do same "ice track" , but he was so good , that i decide to keep as every day car , the fuel consuption is quite high , but the car is solid as a rock , and living at 1.300m high , with roads full os snow on winter , this is the car to have .
If someone have a few informations about this car , please , let me know .
Cheers
Manu

There is quite a lot around , and the normal milleage is around 200.000kms , the only difference with the 325i is the front wheel drive .
They are so good , that the owners go for with without taking care .
I have this one for around 40.000 kms , moutain roads every day , and nothing to repair . Just change the front brakes , quite normal .
A few friends have also this cars to do some ice track days with stud tyres , and , they keep on going strong .
