<< I do not understand why this is not a fair comparison. What else was

 the market for a sporty, semi-luxury mid-small sedan with AWD (please do not
say
 Subaru). Just because the BMW out performed the 90q they arent in the same
league?
 If I misunderstand, please correct me.

Subjectively, the 325IX, belies more than the objective numbers gave in the
comparo.  The 325IX, IMO, with all it's compromises to Der Technik, was a
better quattro, than THE quattro.  Not fair, IMO, cuz maybe the 5ktq should
have been used.  That's where I compare it.  There the 325IX is smaller, but
still a better handler.  The 90q was outgunned, in every performance
objective.  More than half the time with just the lowly 90fwd.  They are in
the same league by definition, I could argue maybe a whole different ball
game.
