JSL..............SCOTTISH!!
Looks a healthy enough breaker though - what are the black, non metallic panels inside the passenger side front hinge down storage compartment like?

yes it's a 325i switchable auto ,not sure what diff it's running yet but the zaust is a brand new 3 piece system [bosal] slashed and side pointing tail pipes ,looks rather expensive though

alex,a 3 piece will fit a car that has a two piece zaust ,as long as the studs line up on the down pipe flange to manifold .
now i'm not sure if pre-face manifolds are the same as facelift so you would have to check first or someone with knowledge on this might post on here and let us know
i'll let you know about the diff when i do mate
