Known issues on the 1994 325is. Three recalls are recorded. One covers a brake light switch that can stick, leaving the brake lights either dead or permanently lit so following drivers cannot tell when the car is slowing. Another covers a plastic bushing on the throttle or cruise control cable that can break and let the outer housing hold the throttle partly open. The third covers a cooling failure that can crack the heater core end piece and expel hot coolant. Ten complaints are on record, led by the power train and air bags with two each.
