I seem to think it's a 325 (sounds like a 6-cylinder, and seem to recall seeing 325 on the rear) - there's a chance it's a 318i. It's driven by one of the main characters (Blane - Andrew McCartney) - only used in three scenes. A few nice shots of car. No special driving performed.
ahight ◊ 2006-10-16 05:05	still can't tell if it's a 325 or 318.
benny ◊ 2006-10-16 18:40	It seems, by the trims, more a 325i than 318i.
Adrian ◊ 2006-11-02 22:45	It's NOT a 325i. The 325i did not come out until 1987 in the US. This leaves the 318i, 325, 325e, 325es - that's it. This car does not have the deep front-air-dam of the 325es, so we can eliminate it. As mentioned in my 1st comment, it sounds like a 6-cylinder, so that leaves the 325 or 325e.
Adrian ◊ 2006-11-03 17:30	Yes, this car could be an `85 325e. It could also be a `86 325 or `86 325e. The only way to tell them appart is by the badge or the interior - the e had a 3-spoke steering wheel, computer, and sport seats. -- Last edit: 2006-11-06 18:32:11
ahight ◊ 2007-05-24 22:04	watching the movie again, i still can't tell. the one photo of the back parked behind the mustang I notice the muffler. i think the 318 was round and the 325 was oval. in the photo it looks oval. it's definitely pre '86. the only other way i remember telling the difference was i thought the 318 had a "fasten seatbelt" thing glued on top of the dash. seats: btw..why '85 and not '84? -- Last edit: 2007-05-24 22:15:17
harrytipper ◊ 2009-10-18 23:56	Hey there! It's a 318, i guess, because of the single round exhaust. i drive 325 e30 and it has two exhaust-pipes. the sound of a six-cylinder isn't a hint, because in movies the sound of the scene exept voices is often made afterwards. please apologize my bad english, i'm from germany.
