Best handling (stock) 3 series

[crayzayjay]

I dont know where Weston is, but its not representative of the general population... of any country!
I work in probably the most prosperous area in London and I dont see that many 7's.... i see a lot of 5's, and plenty of 3's

ya, your right. U have to be pretty wealthy to live in Fairfield County. U also see Ferrari's, Lambo's, Bently's, RR's, and plenty of Bimmers

the m3 is a world class handling car, its on a higher level than a 3 series. However I have a 94 325is and my car handles awesome. its hard to believe that a car could handle better than mine, until you look at the m3

[audiophile]

why did u all pick 325?

the 318 vastly outhandles the 325 since it has less engine weight, and as such, a better front-rear balance.

i have to drive a 318 sometime, i always here about how they couple hundred pound weight difference makes it handle so much better. . .

What about the 328 series?

Cheers,

The difference between 4 and 6 pots is not that big. All BMW's strive for 50/50 weight distribution.

Answer: 318's and 328's both handle like a dream

The GTR was made with a V8 only one thousand were made the first year and sold in europe. They had to meet a production quota of 1000 cars in order to use the engine in their F1 car.
