Re: Ref Timing belt replacement

True! there's always that danger,but the car is always driven with great care,never trashed and always garaged,surely that should extend and preserve the life of the belt?

Re: My 325i Sport M-Tech 1 restoration beginning.

Don't see any issues with 25+years paint if the car has been well cared for over the years.I have a 25 yr M-tec2 with original paint that's in excellent condition,includes under all body kit etc.
