What do 2002's drive like? Do they liked to be revved or are they torquey? I like my 325e. It is torquey and easy to drive, gets great mileage. The low revving motor is easy on water pumps and the valve train. With the mods I have done It will out run most stock E36's if corners are involved if not it is still a battle. Then agai I have never driven a 318 before. i would imagine it would be closer to your 2002 but I am giving blind advise here. Just curious about your 2002. First how much does the 318 and then the 325? What is there horsepower for each when tweaked such as a chip,bigger throttle body,air filter (yes, I know that a air filter does not increase HP)? I haven't been on this forum very much mostly the 2002. So, with that said form the people I have talked with there is a handling difference between the four and the six cylinder. For those out there who have driven a tricked out 02 what should I get? I want to drive in a different era.
