1990 BMW 325iX Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1990 BMW 325iX documents a single Base specification in two shapes, the four-door sedan and the two-door coupe, powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5L inline-six with one overhead camshaft and 152 cubic inches of displacement. Nothing about the mechanical package changes between the two, so the engine, driveline and chassis chapters can be read as written, with clearances and torque values that apply to either car on the lift.

Known issues on the 1990 325iX. Decades on, what matters in a book like this is the specifications. The 2.5L six comes with its clearances, timing figures and fuel and ignition data. The brakes, steering and suspension come with their settings and torque values. The wiring diagrams are drawn circuit by circuit, so an intermittent fault in the lighting or charging system can be isolated rather than guessed at, and the body procedures cover the sedan and the coupe separately.
