BMW E30 325i Sport :-)

Post Mon Jul 21, 2014 1:56 pm

Did they all like the Sport classic BMW E30 325i as well? Maybe a burnout would have eased the tension between the two sides?

He says it's a FACT, but I'm not 100% convinced Pony was in central london - he was probably cruising in his sport classic BMW E30 325i, with 40% LSD and genuine OEM BMW parts fitted, down Golders Green on a saturday afternoon.

True
No burnouts
True story
There was a massive protest

I could hardly go out and take a photograph otherwise I would get done for using a mobile phone

What, in Golders Green?

Kensington High Street

That doesn't make any sense! Why would you want to protest down Ken High St? What was the protest about?

Post Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:59 pm

I don't know
Is about Muslims and non Muslims
Anyway let's keep this thread about my Sport!!!!

I was trying to picture the event in my mind. Was your Classic BMW E30, 325i in the centre of the road, with, as you describle; Israelis on one side of the road, and Palestinians on the other, i.e seperated by the road, or were they walking together?

Was the car free to move, or were you being blocked? Revving the 325i might have helped - and it would have sounded awesome!

Post Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:20 pm

They were separated by police and tape
The Sport was in the middle
FACT
They kept the road clear for traffic but not many vehicles drive through it

Post Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:28 pm

You see!! - now, that paints a totally different picture.

It doesn't sound like a protest at all, it sounds more like a stand off between Israelis and Palestinians - that is of course, only correct if you got that FACT right. How could you tell the difference?

If the sport, sorry, Classic BMW E30 325i, was in the middle of the road, then you were simply driving down it, There was absolutley no risk to you, or more importantly, the car!

Drama queen!

He had a real live female in the passenger seat and what with all of the hunky Muzzies / 4x2s and the smoking Acceleras, she got a bit excited, so I have heard !

After 60 years of hate and war, all it took was Pony and his 325 sport (with genuine BMW parts) to get peace in the middle east.

Webcam footage of Ken High St at the weekend. Anyone spot the Classic BMW E30 325i, with genuine OEM BMW parts fitted?

Post Mon Aug 04, 2014 11:33 am

Update
August 4th

I have yet to get the downpipe gasket fitted and the illuminated Gearknob wiring fitted.
The downpipe gasket which needs a new component is reducing power and fuel economy. Though I think it makes it a little louder.

I have bought the downpipe gasket, the nuts and the wiring for the illuminated Gearknob.

Bss325i said I may need new studs so have ordered these just should they break upon fitting.

I have from BMW Dealer ordered the downpipe gasket studs. Apparently there are 4 of them and they are £23!!!! And that is £21 with my BMW Car Club discount of 10%.
I did not think they were that expensive.

PS
I driving the Sport on the weekend. I was driving the Sport in Hyde Park tunnel and my mate was very impressed with the reverb

Post Mon Aug 04, 2014 2:56 pm

So how much BHP did the illuminated gear knob add?

Update
Today Had a motorcyclist who looks like he works for ECP given he had high-vis vest go up to me on Shepherds Bush roundabout at the lights and go.
That sounds good .... When he heard the noise (from the Sport) he said that he thought it was R1 or something .... Then was surprised to see E30 325i Sport .... And that is sounded "like a race car"

I did get a dodgy look from an old man too as well he kept staring at me, presumably that ain't because he fancies me.

I'm just round the corner pony (latimer road).. we could of gone racing and filmed a 320i beating a 325 up and down Ladbrook Grove

Drifting went great. I did some drifting in Millbrook in July 2014. I'll add all the updates from June 2014 to present after I finished the BMW Car Club Road Trip in May 2014 thread

Post Mon Nov 24, 2014 8:10 pm

I got some big drift angles with the Sport today and was leaving some nice 11s. Got a few admiring glances from some females too

I did get stopped actually by a bloke going the other way in Land Rover. He flashed me and I thought he was flashing me because of my exhuberant driving style (or as kos told me to say to BMW Car Club members he says I have a "wild" driving style). Actually he was a white bloke and he I don't think was middle class ? Anyway I thought maybe he was going to give me some abuse but he goes .... Are you selling it ?

Me: nahhhh mate
Him: its nice
Me: it's had 12 owners
Him: u had it long ?
Me: 2010 I have spent £Xk on it and then I told him some of the New Genuine BMW Parts I have had fitted.
Him: is it 325i ?
Me: E30 325i Sport

He was then telling me he has had quite a few BMWs including E30s and the later models. I was holding up a vehicle behind me so had to cut the conversation short. Nice to get some appreciation I must admit
