The 325 is more economical aswell than the V6 Mond?
Tbh I'd have one of these over a Mondeo.
I wont be living in Plymouth come 2 months time....
Seriously though, what is likely to go wrong with them, how much to fix, etc.? Basically, proove to me this is a better buy than a 2.0 Mondeo Ghia
itll cost hell of a lot more to run than a 2l ghia, the comparison was to a v6 mondeo, which also being a 6 cyl is gonna be similar to run. 2l mondeo ghias will run forever with the odd drop of oil putting in the engine, and i think even that is optional 
these are aproximitely double the age too....
these are aproximitely double the age too....If im still without car in a few months and have a job that can fund the insurance, It may well be a 2.5 V6 Mondey... but thankyou for convincing me to put the E36 idea to bed...

+1. DRZ reckons it's not too bad, but I can't imagine it being much fun. Still though, for the money, bargaintastic.
Don't take rg-tom's advice on maintaining oil level of any engine.
O_O i was only a little bit low when my engine died, people have had it die with it above minimum.....if you delve further into the problem you're actually advised to keep it just above MAX to prevent the oil starvation due to oil surge.....they really should've put a baffled sump on it
Other than that, never had a problem RE oil

The Auto is fine, in sport mode is puts you face first into the windscreen then pushes you back in the seat, whilst i would prefer a manual this auto box seemed fine.
not too ludicrously offtopic, but what camera did you use for those shots tom? they're awesome.
I've been looking at Bimmers recently. i kind of want one. Not an expensive one mind you. That one is lovely, especially for the money.

really? I thought they were pretty shocking really, it was really dark and i'd forgotten my remote release.
