another in a long line of bm's, ranging from 325's/m535's/e39's/e46's etc, you get the picture :)

look forward to contributing, and learning/refreshing the brain cell :mad:

oem suspension going back on the tourer, thanks to ian :wink:

few other bits of tidying.

spec for those interested is

325 manual/sports box
lsd
chipped (apparently)
beige sports leather(needs a clean)
a/c (needs a condenser :roll: )

alpina reps(6) but may put 16's on

about it for now.......

Hi Tom,

Glad to see you made it over to the Zone :thumb:

I take it the springs arrived safely ?

As for the A/C condenser, give C3 a call (http://www.c3bmw.co.uk/). I got mine from them and it was a fraction of the price BMW wanted (approx Ԛ£95 as opposed to over Ԛ£300 from the dealer). It was a good quality Hella unit as well.

Cheers,

Ian.
