Car wash down in S.Africa! 325i x 2

[fannyj]

Here's a couple of pics of my car (silver) and my buddies car. I think his rims look awesome, they'r from an X3. He had the centres sprayed with the lip polished. Lemme know what you think.

Looking good. I like your BBS

Is the black one a 325IS?? 2.7 litre Alpina spec engine?

Looks like it is with the 5 stud hubs and early M3 airbox, the strut brace looks like a racing dynamics item to me too, very very nice I would love one of those!

[ROC]

Both cars looking very tidy indeed

[qwerty]

[mikeyboy]

Though copies are available on ebay sometimes, it is very very similar to the racing dynamics strut brace for e30's (not available new any more), though a company in the US who claim to be racing dynamics (but arn't, its complicated!) did claim to stil have some in stock.

Oh and this is the North American racing dynamics one:

which may be a copy of the 'real' italian racing dynamics one, or may be old stock from when the two companies were affiliated. Before thigs went sour between them.

Neither company had stock available when I last checked, dips had one for sale not long back on ebay and it sold for £125 ish + P&P.

hey..wish it was the 2.7 spec motor, but it's a stock 2.5 m20
a buddy of mine get the struts, not sure the make, it does the business though
what i noticed about our RHD cars though, is that the left side of the car sits about 1cm higher than the right at the rear.. so we need to get that sorted out. It's even worse when the driver is in the car.. But up next is the 318is lip spoiler and the SE side skirts. Colour-code or not??

[Nelly]

Colour coded for sure

[Jhonno]

x3 rims are sweet! not seen them before!

Both cars are tasty tho

[Scruffymurphy]

The cars look great. Very tidy.

And colour code the skirts & lip.

[march109]

wow never seen the motorsport stripes on the AFM before or the early m3 airbox on a non 2.7 325is before! could be an early 2.5 325is I suppose.... is it???

whats the log book (or equivelent say!)??

I'd be interested to know, my sisters b/f is from S.A. and 'm trying to get him to fly over there on holiday buy a 325is and drive it back through africa and europe for me!

As for suspension IF the shocks and springs are not at fault chack the bushes on the rear subframe as they are common to sit low when they go, I didn't notice for ages because both sides had gone at the same time so the car was level and my suspension is stiff anyway.

[josh-hocking]

colour code the lip!! and those rims look ace!!! loving the bbs aswell!!

[fannyj]

The book says 325i, it's a 90 model and most of my friends have the same style airbox. It's only the 91 model that had the later style airbox down here.
The motorsport stripes was just me being bored
I think i will have bushes checked over the weekend...

[89-325i]

the bbs wheels look really good in black with the silver lip!!! Nice

[Moz]

Both extremely nice cars, and in mint condition!!!!!! 4 doors all the way m8 Those BBS rims are real nice!!

[fannyj]

Now to get that lip! and if i'm really lucky an Mtech1 bootspoiler!!
