Re: Stumped - 325i not starting

Oh and on the very faint chance, I took the battery off and tested it for a dead cell, in which it was fine. So gave it a full charge, and put it back on the car to give it a good try whilst cranking.

From memory, there is a right angled adaptor that fits into a socket on the left side of the back face, that is for the aerial.

Re: PRISTINE WHEELS

I got the 15" BBS off my 325i done by them a few months back now. They did the centre caps too, and guess what they actually fitted afterwards. And little things like the fact they masked up the face that meets the hub. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. This reminds me.... Rav any luck on you...

Re:

Would Coopers of Cobham have been New Central Garage in 1984...?

I got a spec sheet on my car from BMW that says 15111 Cooper (Cob) but I thought this was one of the dealers which became a Cooper partner later on.

In any case just want to get the correct dealer name for a 1984 car.

Re: 1983 323i Henna Red 2 door "number 45" (UDP260

You could only get all vinyl rears in the early models. So the above fronts and vinyl rear are actually correct for a 6 cylinder car.

4 cylinder cars had all vinyl fronts.
