Looking for a 325ix

Hello, everyone. My first post here.

I'm in Atlanta right now, but it's very likely I'll be in Milwaukee (job transfer) within a month. Right now I have a 2WD Explorer and I'm looking for something with 4WD or AWD. What are the chances of finding a 325ix in either Milwaukee or Atlanta? Is there a good place to shop the internet for used BMWs? I've tried places like www.Autotrader.com without any luck.

Any idea what a 325ix in good condition would go for? I know the last model year for that car was '91. Also, are there any opinions about the reliability of this particular BMW? Did they experience any problems with the AWD system?

I'd certainly appreciate any feedback from BMW enthusiasts or 325ix owners.

Thanks!

Here's a Portland, OR craigslist for-sale posting which should answer some questions...

I'm in the market for a Subaru of similar vintage but I can dream about the Beemer.... BTW many folks have had great experiences with newer Legacys, Outbacks etc. in the snow...

118,000 miles, silver, 2 dr, automatic, brand new Goodyear Eagle tires, sun roof, full time all wheel drive, cruise control, electric side mirrors. Lots of preventative work done 11,000 miles ago including: new head gasket and timing belt, 3 sets bearings, struts, entire exhaust system, brakes. Car is in great condition inside and out. Pass thru ski bag; single CD player with removable front. A/C doesnt' work (need new condenser), and fan only blows on 4th power setting, but it gets damn toasty in the winter!

also, new set of 4 Blizzak Snow tires on BMW steel rims so you don't have to switch your rims, just change the whole set. cost is $500, including rims. this car is immaculate in the snow, absolutely amazing.

please contact by email at this time as i am traveling but will be back in PDX very shortly.
