If I may, I'd recommend spending an extra $1500 or $2000 and getting an 87+ 
325iS (NOT the emasculated 325es).  The 6 cylinder is much, much stronger 
than the 4, has ABS, and better impact protection.  I've done nothing but 
change oil in 107,000 miles, and I have seen them torn down at 250,000 miles 
with no wear.  The Getrag gearbox lasts forever as well.  Less yuppie-scum 
stigma as well (at least I'd like to think so).
