325 Reliability

what do you guys think about the 92-95 325's reliability as they start getting more miles on them (150k+). when do the costs of keeping it running start to become overwhelming?

I have a 93, 325i, Automatic. It only has 95K miles on it so it doesn't exactly meet your case study. But I've had it for 2 years now and have had no major problems. It's running like a champ. I do have an issue with my power windows. They occasionally decide they don't want to go up. Still trying to get that resolved without dropping a wad of cash. Other than that, just normal maintenance issue's like needing a new muffler due to some rust.

I'd say for the money you'll pay, you'll be loads happier with the used 325 than with a used honda, even if the honda is a few years newer. I know I was when I dumped my tiny Accura.

Another question:
in the cerca 94 325, does anyone know how good the speakers are that come stock? theyres 10 of them, meaning theyll be expensive to upgrade and id like to make sure theyre atleast fairly good.
thanks

I've got a 325 '94 with Stock speakers and they sound just fine. Not the loudest, but nice crisp clear sounds from all around. My front left one crackles a little when I turn up the stereo...but only when I'm turning it up. For the most part, and I listen a lot, I've been impressed by what I've heard from my car.
