Here is a clip from an April 1999 Car and Driver Article.
" The 323i of this test was chosen for its low price—at least for a BMW—although it's still the most expensive car here. What we got is a very mild BMW, still smooth, quiet, poised, and mannerly in the appealing BMW way, but short on verve. It ties the Saab for second place here in the 0-to-60 dash at 7.2 seconds, finishes third in the quarter-mile, has a stopping distance on the long side of average (192 feet from 70 mph), ties the Saab for the wispiest skidpad grip at 0.78 g, and ties the VW for third-highest top speed at 134 mph. "
I'm sure this is a base BMW without the sport package, but they were concerned about price...as are most people. For number comparisons, the SAAB topped out at 145mph and the article didn't mention the stopping distance.
