Summary:
Selling my 2003 BMW 325i 5-speed manual with 193K miles. Clean title in hand. Runs strong, clutch is solid, and it’s had tons of maintenance and parts replaced. Rear-wheel drive, 2.5L inline-6 M54 engine. Has cosmetic issues and a check engine light (P0491), but a lot of the heavy lifting has been done. If you're familiar with E46s, this is a good platform with plenty of life left. Not in a rush — serious buyers only.
