How many cylinders is the BMW 325i engine?

I’m thinking about buying a used BMW 325i, but I want to make sure it’s got enough power for my driving preferences. How many cylinders does the engine in the BMW 325i have?

Every BMW 325i comes with a six-cylinder engine.
The
BMW 325i
was a standard entry-level trim for the BMW 3-Series from 1990 to 2006. Regardless of trim, most BMW 3-series cars come with an inline-6 engine with—you guessed it— six cylinders! The outgoing 2006 325i packed the following stats in its 3.0-L inline-six:
  • 215 horsepower @ 6,250 RPM
  • 185 lb-ft of torque @ 2,750 RPM
  • 18 city/28 highway/21 combined mpg with rear-wheel drive
  • 17 city/26 highway/20 combined mpg with all-wheel drive
A powerful engine isn’t the only perk you’ll get from buying a used 325i—
car insurance for used cars
is almost always cheaper than for similar newer models. Just make sure to check the car’s history report. BMWs are not reliable cars, so a used 325i in good working condition may actually be hard to find.
