Re: Gheko's 325 light resto/project

Nice ice rink youve got there!

Doubt it'd fail the mot, mine has a similar amount of rust in that area, i plan on cutting out the outer arch to tackle it, obviously you'd rather not do that as your outer's look quite good :(

Re: FreddieS first BMW - 1987 320i

Bought some new alloys off a mate for my E30, think they suit it quite well, but need to go from the current 195/50 to 195/55 as ive lost 40mm of rolling radius, and the tyres dont fill the arch at all anymore so it looks higher :( http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b91/Stealth1911/BMW%20320i/BMW1.jp...

No, temperature gauge never goes above half even in traffic when it was relatively warm. doesnt seem to use any water either as ive been checking it weekly to try to get to the bottom of this problem.

Hi all, im considering going LPG on the 320i (which wont be a 2l all its life) as it'd save me a fortune as I do a hell of a lot of miles, and i know of quite a few LPG stations nearby... How much would one expect to pay to have an LPG kit fitted, or is it possible to get the kit second hand and fit...
