The BMW 325i Coupe – More Treat than Trick

When shown a corner or two, it seemed a tad bit reluctant to dive in the bends and launch itself out with the grace and grip one would normally expect from this Bavarian.

It had noticeable roll and started to feel lazy, yet it had just almost enough tenacity to make it that bit more exciting. So after a few more tries, we gave up, barely satisfied, and headed back to waltz around the city streets instead.

Interestingly, trundling along normal roads put more of a smile on our faces than it had when driven hard. It just felt right in these situations, not so much blitzing down bends and turns, and one couldn’t help feeling like a tourist when gently cruising around.

Taking your time to enjoy the town roads or the city’s sights and sounds, this car was perfectly in place there. It is not too flashy, nor is it “just another car” – it catches enough attention without bringing along too many of those inevitable evil-green-eyes.

So there it was – the 325i Coupe for those who like to parade about in style and coziness, and the twin-turbo’d 335i to appease those with the devil inside. After all that, we couldn’t help but think what a brilliant seating this car had – and it’s not just the comfort we’re referring to.
