Smokey! Should this be in the tech sec?

[billgatese30]

got a chip but thats all, and it was in when i got it. all that milage is backed up by BMW service history with full stamps to prove, and has a wallet full of recipts to back up all the new parts its had recently. engoine is sweet, goes nice aswell. theres a few things i want to do to tart up the interior, the leather doesn't look as good in real life as it does in the pics but is is still fairly good. i fancy getting the wheels refurbed aswell.

got any pics of yours?

[Widge]

Yep

And

But of corse that was before I put these in

and painted the grille

Ive got a chip and k&n air filter, going to put them on at easter and build a cold air box. Dunno if the chip will work though, anyone?

might make the throttle response a little better. but probably won't affect out and out performance much though. looks like a nice straight car, should look even better now that there is new seats in the front.

Got the whol interior from the guy with door cards and every thing, totally transformed the car, especially as the grey roof lining and rear shelf goes with the Mtech seats. It's scruffy on the outside with a bit of rust but straight, I'm not a perfectionist I just want it to look ok be mechanically A1 and be a comfortable place to It's an SE too so it's got toys! Is your cruise control original to yor car?

[billgatese30]

erm...not so sure, possibly not. i know that the leather isn't as it was fitted with cloth to start off with, then standard sport leather, then heated m3 leather. i'll go and check on the cruise though.


edit: can't find the spec sheet i got from the dealer. i don't think it did, where is simon when you need him.

[Widge]

It's just I had to make a bracket to hold mine where as your looks original. I only got it a few weeks ago (cruise) but I love it, I drive from Leeds to Newcastle alot at night and it's great on the A1.

[billgatese30]

i think mine was a retro fit as i am waiting for the stalk, simon wsa having hassle from the guy he bought it from, he couldn't contact him for love nor money.

[Widge]

He must have got the original bracket with it, most of the breakers think it's part of the car and don't supply it.

[billgatese30]

probably right, simon wasn't a man to do things by half, thnkfully. i am the same, if its worth doing then its worth doing properly etc.

[Moofles]

His look the same as mine, and therefor different to the ones in the 2nd pic you posted. But his car appears to be an M3, which you said had different ones.

probably one of the things i'm most certain of, m3's were all pre-facelift lights...post some pics and we can see but i am confident it's a kit if it's got the later lights! (p.s. i know a guy in hong kong with an m3 kitted 325i - facelift lights - so its certainly been done)

What the hell has happened to those seats?

[Widge]

Dunno the bloke I bought it off said he had lent it to his brother!
I think there is a message there!
