4 door M3 bumpers and spoiler

Hi guys I have a 4 door 325i and I'm thinking about getting it resprayed but I would like to get rid of the m-tech 2 spoiler and get an M3 fiberglass spoiler just because I like the look of them, and then I came across a couple people selling the front and rear fiberglass bumpers too and I quite lik...

Sportex Exhaust for a 325i, any reviews?

Has any one got a sportex exhaust for a 325i? I (stupidly) sold my scorpion exhaust a few months back before I had even fitted it to my car as I had higher priorities at the time :( And it seems at the moment that there isn't many exhaust systems for sale but I found a sportex system for sale that's...

Touring Rear Seats

Does anyone know what seats these are? They came out of a touring I bought and they don't look like they'll fit my saloon. I've not had a touring before and the seats that came out of the front were fiesta RS turbo recaros so I wasn't sure if these were official BMW seats and they're just not interc...

Re: Alternator Upgrade For Stupid Sound System

Ive got an Orion HCCA-D5000 amp for the 15.2 subwoofer, Orion 250G5 amp for front speakers and an optima yellow top YTS5.5. Not got round to front speakers yet, not sure what would fit because its quite tight. All seems a bit much on the 90A alternator. I had 2 JL Audio 12W6 running 600RMS between t...

I did have to modify the mountings and make up a mounting bracket to get it lined up with the PS/water pump pulleys.
What engine was it? Would you be able to point me towards any guides or anything? Any help is much appreciated!

Re: Recaro seats

The rear bench looks to be very good condition but drivers seat had been infilled with polystyrene to keep it up to height, i guess ill see how bad they are at the weekend. On another note, anyone want to buy some recaros on E30 runners? :wink:

Re: Recaro seats

Ahh i thought they might have been the RS2000 mk5 ones as they seem to be a common one in E30's but i couldn't quite find a picture that matches them. Either way they're ruined, the bottom of the drivers seat has completely fallen through and they're in pretty bad condition. I will get full pictures...

Recaro seats

Can anyone identify these recaros? They came in a touring I just bought but I can't find them online. I'm not sure if they're official BMW ones or just random ones chucked on some E30 runners. Sorry for the bad pictures, they were rushed, will get some better ones on the weekend when I get the car h...
