Big Turbo Energy: 2003 BMW 325iT

The E46 generation BMW 3-series is a late-model luxury sports car that is fun to drive and available with a variety of configurations, powertrains, and gearboxes. Reliability is mixed — it ends up somewhere between a Honda and Puegeot on the ole reliability scale…closer to the Honda if my experience is true. Parts are expensive, and labor rates for experts can be maddening…but the engineering is good and the driving experience is exquisite. While the pure M cars are preferred, an occasional wagon with a turbo isn’t the worst thing you could own. Find this 2003 BMW 325iT offered for $15000 in Granby, CT via faceboom bookwaogn.
