325's (depending what year) had bigger engine cc's so it might have been a 2800 or even a 3000cc on the later E90's. That and the fact it's got 2 extra cylinders means you shouldn't be too hard on yourself!

The 325 from the same time as the VR (E36) is about equal in specs,  190bhp/245nm   174bhp/235nm
Golf being a bit lighter makes it about the same in a drag.
Newer models leave the VR in the weeds.

If these are the choices a VR is a no brainer....

More like spatula or a spud masher :grin:

Almera has about 25 more horses, 50 lbs more torque and 8 more valves, would be worse getting shamed by the rice burner than the beemer :laugh:

Indeed, atleast a slow vr has the noise to replace it... 6cyl beemers sounds rubbish.
