I am a bit biased but... 4 doors work just fine.

Yea 325. And I just found out he is the original owner and has all records since purchase.
-
Doors preferences vary. I like 2, but I either don't have or don't use the backseat in mine.
Just a 325? This would be the 2.7 e engine with lower horsepower and a torque curve set up for better mileage (unless the PO stroked it) versus the higher hp and higher torque curve 2.5 325i/is. Both can be fun, depends on your wants/needs.

Well the rear badge is just 325. So I assume its the e version. Do these suck or what? Will I be able to up the power a little bit somewhat easily with a cai or some other mod?

Its a 1987. I just want a fun little 5 speed to lower a bit and run some autocross for fun. My e92 335i has plenty of go when I need a power fix.

You could add a conforti chip for the 325e for a +24/28 hp/tq bump and a new 5300 red line for a bit more go.
If you're just looking for fun in autox you'll be fine. Also bring it out to the ice this winter.
But if you want to be competitive in autox find another car. Given classing structures in SCCA autox these days and what you have to run against, the e30 is not that competitive in e or i/is forms.

In that case anybody have a chip to sell? And yea the auto-x is just for fun.

If I wanted to turbo it would this motor be ok for that?
-
Yes=) Especially if you do the i head swap. Then you would essentially have a stroked m20=P
This^
I did an "I" head swap and had a 4.10 diff back in the day and I thought it was a beast. This does drop the compression making it perfect for a turbo. Still quick in NA form with the lower comp.
