yup 325i and it's in e30 m3 evo puple with the silver grey leather. not sure of the colour name but that's what the owner said. paint colour change checks out with the dvla too. not sure if it was a bare metal respray though.

nice little engine spec - k&n, stainless system, and a road race cam that kicks in about 3k revs. if i stick with the 2.5 lump i'll be getting a chip for it to make the most of the mods. just needs a little tidy up.

another pic of it that was sent over by the current owner.

got a few ideas for it. not sure that the purists will love it.

going to ditch the main beam on one side and have a cold air feed into a sealed box for the induction kit, a mate knows the people that own and run gaz shocks so might have to have a chat about some lower suspension, no silly cambers though lol. and i was thinking of running with mtech 2 front and rear bumpers. not 100% sure yet though. would like to get a hard top for it as well over the winter but dare say they cost a few quid!

Looks nice, not a bad starter. A genuine hardtop will cost you at least £800 and M Tech 2 kit will be about £400

only had time for 1 pic yesterday as i'd been playing golf on saturday morning and then went straight to work. Was working again yesterday so took this on my lunch break. sorry for poor quality as taken on my phone. and yes even though it was very gold i drove round with the roof down.

Cheers.

i was thinking that. they look a bit dark. bet a previous owner has tinted them. it's got smoked front indicators and sides and the windows have a light tint on them. might take that off as not too sure on the look. Want to go for a pretty ow look but have some subtle bits that don't stand out too much.

It's more likely that someone's DIY tinted them and hasn't done the full beam lights as they require a 'thingy' to be made in order to tint them properly.
