Sterling Silver 325i Sport-Pictures finally!!

Sat Nov 19, 2005 6:21 pm

Hi all, got this car a few weeks ago but have only managed to get some pictures taken of it. Its a 1990 325i Sport in sterling silver with 80k on the clock, full BMW SH, grey leather in mint condition, Privacy glass, full Mongoose exhaust system, 2 computers, headlight washers etc etc. I only have 2 complaints so far and they are the wheels and suspension - wheels need badly refurbished (only paint needed) and the suspension is a bit on the soft side and sort of lower at the rear. The only mods i have carried out are the clear indicators plus i've fitted a new ICE install compromising of a Kenwood Headunit with Ipod connection, a 900w amp powering a 10" Inifinity Perfect, Infinity 330w 6x9s, and infinity Perfect 5.1 component set powered by another amp. But having fun in it anyway, this is my first BM and first RWD car!

Its great having RWD, you can feel it's a better set up!

Should have 15`s on there!

nice car mate, looks like its been looked after, body looks immaculate for age.

Lovely looking car mate, suspension ride height looks spot on! Personally, if you're not really a track man, I'd stick with the standard m-tech shocks to freshen up the ride.
Wheels look like the standard 15" to me?!

Is that a sebring back box on there?

Very tasty.... Looks very clean to! enjoy it!

Sun Nov 20, 2005 1:10 pm

how minty does that look?? good find buddy

Sun Nov 20, 2005 1:40 pm

Thanks guys!

Nope they are the standard 15" wheels that are on it. The exhaust system is a Mongoose system, at least there's a receipt for a full Mongoose in the history!I will have to get it up on the lift and find out for definite.

I was gonna maybe do a couple of track days with the car so looking into the H&R Cup suspension as its been recommended to me. Has anyone here had any experience with it?I came across a thread awhile ago that recommended it.Also looking out for a set of 16" Hartge wheels, dont think i'll go for 17s.

Tue Nov 22, 2005 4:36 pm

looks really good,
dont wanna hijack the thread in anyway, bit of a e30 newbie are those side skirts or just the valances painted up on the 325i sport, want the side of my 318is to look just like that.
kbs

yep i've heard about these underground meets, i was plannin to get to the last few of them at the ....motorsports centre...but couldnt make it! Heard that the police were called but in fact they were sayin to ppl on the way out that they were sorry they had to break it up but some1 complained about it so they had to act on that.The police guy actually said that they had known abou the 'meet' for ages but they didnt have a problem with it!!

Also heard bout a barn thing........

As far as i know it has the standard M-tec bodykit so that would mean the side skirts came with the car painted and all.

Tue Nov 22, 2005 11:23 pm

Yeah they just told everyone to leave-we were there for about an hour and a half trying to get out though!Only been to that one Jonny-hoping to get to a few more in the future.The barn sounds good too Dubster-although i hear its quite dusty.

Sweet lookin sport!

Wed Nov 23, 2005 10:14 am

The shed is the spot!!! In doors with a water tap beside it lol wet the ground and let the diffin start!!!! Check out a few photos I got http://www.teamlsm.com/www/LSMEngine/cr ... photos.asp

But itÃƒ”š's the same as anywhere, only a matter of time before tha 5/0 turn up and stop all the fun

Thu Dec 08, 2005 10:10 pm

Cool, i will have to get along to some of them meets!! Thanks guys for compliments about the car, well pleased with it. Any suggestions for wheels? I'd go the alpina route but it would have to be genuine 16s. I had been looking for Borbet A's on the net, they go quite well.

Sun Dec 11, 2005 2:57 pm

cool! When did u get that? wot u got done to it? u seemed to be pullin a wee bit on me after the ton-10.Apart from that it was quite even!

Sun Dec 11, 2005 5:55 pm

A couple of small bits done to the engine, the 17" alloys seem to drain my speed slightly, had it a few months now!

Sun Dec 11, 2005 6:04 pm

very good mate, it looked well that day, u obviously had spent a bit of time on her. Hope u didnt notice my wheels, they are really embarrassing, there's only one good one.But no point gettin new wheels til winter's over.

Mon Dec 12, 2005 1:40 pm

Nice car like the colour hope to see ya around, another sport in good old N.Ireland
