I hope you do a better job servicing cars than you do uploading pictures :D

When pasting ya pics, press enter and put a pic on a new line, saves having them side by side.

I have just remembered when this was for sale on the zone. I think the previous owner saved it from a main dealer or something.

Looks a bit different to this now:

Yes i bought it off dave 525 on here,
i bought a 325i breaker off him and this was in his garage,
it came into perrys vauxhall where he works as a part x with 2 same family owners and now im am the 3rd!
In the above picture it was a 320i auto,now its got everything 325 inc 3.73lsd
I think the car was imported as bmw's records dont show it on there reg data parts list.

Pete that pre facelift is lovely. Agree with Steve if it's sadowline it needs a tech 1 front!

Either that's or new chrome all round. :cool:

that looks just the ticket. now with proper wheels.it was a REALLY reluctant sale believe me. so glad it went to a good home.traded in and would have gone to the auction but i spotted it first. probably worth more now than whatever crate they traded it in for. exactly as i planned to do it.just needs turbo m50 if i still had it .it was imported but i cant remember where from. wasnt far away,somewhere like jersey.had a private number from new.letters were ASH and then 3 numbers i think. it said on the logbook i had,pete probably can get the details from dvla.also nice to see howards 325 sport in the santa pod pic. he very kindly took me round croft on a bmw car club track day in it,it was a great fun afternoon. :)

He followed me out of the pod, after about 5 miles there's a steep uphill dual carrageway which i overtook a lorry, when i looked in the rear view mirror i saw sweep overtaking but the lorry decided to swap lanes while he was beside him :)
