The 88 325i is very similar but significantly cheaper to maintain, in 89 BMW started having parts shipped from China but then after quality control issues (radiators) they moved back to Germany. So if you have a 89-90, its pretty hard to find parts besides junkyards or 3rd party vendors. Also the 88s are more reliable due to having titanium rods, 89 used cast iron rods and then later switched to aluminum. I would argue that the 88 looks significantly better and utilizes a better aero design.
Basically get a 88 E30, not a 89. Dont listen to the haters.
