The 1984-September 1987 325/325e/325es (the E there stands for Eta) have 121 horsepower and 170lb-ft of torque at very low rpm to conserve gas and still be drivable. The post-September 1987 325e/s has 128 horsepower, which is why it is sometimes called a Super Eta. __________________ Four Five Six - It's on.
