I picked up a facelift 325i today with the view of breaking it, it's overheating, leaking oil, but damn it sounded nice and went really well!! I don't want to break it!!

It's malachite green, m-tech kit, borbet C's....break or fix...break or fix!

fix....keep it for a while untill you can get another engine sorted....like an m3 motor or somthing. or turn the engine into a 2.7 or something
could use it as a second weekend car when you don't want to get the m3 dirty.

Break it is then :lol:

I can see the road underneath the fuse box! The N/S rear arch has some rust, but apart from that it's pretty good, it's got every sport extra too apart from the black headlining, did I mention it goes really well!! It ain't no standard 325i...

Might already be a 2.7 then.

Rust under the fuse box is easy to fix and its a common place for them\to rust.

Post up some pictures dude, sounds like its a nice'ish car. Or sell it for a profit.

I might be looking for a 325i soon for track days.

I was wondering how long it would be before that smiley was used!!

Cheers for the offer, it looks like it's going to be a breaker!

It's got a new head on the car, the PO gave up after it was still overheating after having all the work done, I managed to drive it home, it went in to the red 3 times, stopped, bled the system, topped it up and it went fine for another few miles, got oustide the house, and it decided to let go of it's entire contents of oil outside the house! What good timing!
