325ci VINs decoded with it

The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.

The 2.5L 6-cyl 325ci: common questions

Which 325ci years have the 2.5L 6-cyl?

2000–2006 — 6 model years in our VIN decode, across 15 factory configurations and 8,832 VINs.

What does a 2.5L 6-cyl 325ci cost?

$6,998 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.
