Hi everyone
I'm rebuilding the top end on my 89 325i sport, and hopefully this weekend I want to put the rest of the engine back too. Only problem is it's been a year since I took everything out! I did label everything up but cant remember where some parts go!!! :oops:
Would anybody be kind enough who has a standard 325i sport to send me some close up pictures of their engine bays? As much detail as possible would be fantastic! Theres some beer in it once I get to a meet when shes back on the road!!!
:beer: Cheers

Area I need most is under the inlet manifold. The routing of wires and pipes etc.
Definately learnt a lesson....should have taken photos as I took the car apart! :cry:

Cheers dave.
Hopefully shouldn't need much else. Just wish my motor was as clean as yours..it's the same colour but with a few rusty marks!
