I would second all of this.
My brother used to have the 318is (slightly sportier model with the 16v head I believe). Similar level of perfmance to a 325.

Still wasn't a powerhouse, but I clearly remember him to this day managing to spin the thing 360 degrees on a motorway slip road (on ramp) on a damp road, giving it only a 'reasonable' amount of beans. A driver's car, yes, but definitely without all the safety nets of the modern day 3 series...would have been nice to see it power sliding in GT6.
I think I kept up with a 318i once in my van.. the one with 1.6 litre engine!
