What is the difference between 325i and 325li?
2 Answers
325i and 325li difference is that 325i is the standard wheelbase version, and 325li is the long wheelbase version. The standard wheelbase version and the BMW 325 are introduced as follows: Standard wheelbase version: The standard wheelbase version has smaller rear space, while the long wheelbase version has larger rear space. Additionally, the decorative strip of the window frame on the long wheelbase version protrudes, whereas the standard version does not have this protrusion. BMW 325: The BMW 325 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of around 134kW and a maximum torque of 299N·m. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 7 seconds, with a fuel consumption of approximately 6L per 100 km. The BMW 3 Series is the best-handling car in the BMW family, with an affordable price, rear-wheel drive, high playability, and it belongs to a luxury brand. Its ride comfort is also excellent.
I've been driving a BMW for a while now. The 325i is the standard version, which is particularly agile, making turning and parking on city streets very easy. The throttle response is quick, giving a sense of precise control. However, the rear seating space is a bit small, and it's not very comfortable for long periods, especially in traffic jams. After switching to the 325li, the rear seating area became much more spacious with the extended wheelbase, making it more comfortable for kids or parents. But with the increased length, parking has become a bit more troublesome, especially in crowded mall parking lots. Both models have the same engine, with similar power and fuel consumption, and the daily maintenance costs are no different. If you frequently carry passengers or go on long trips, the li version is more practical; if you mostly drive alone, the i version is more suitable. In short, choosing between the two depends on personal driving habits—it's really a trade-off between comfort and convenience that requires careful consideration.
