picked the sport up tonight

[stevenannahouse]

Well i finally got the sport tonight and what can i say i love it..Not as quick as my gt4 but definatly put together a whole lot better..Managed to get the obc to read 33.3mpg but the drive home was all motorway..
The car i got is a red 1990 325 sport and it was for sale on here a while ago..Its got full bmw history and its had new paint on the front and wings cause the laquer was peeling..Its also got full leather which is in mint condition.(strange for a car that age)..

Ps the pics are in the photo gallery

well done mate, sounds like a good un, glad you are pleased with it, every one knows red cars are the best

[stevenannahouse]

indeed,,they shine up lovely

[fuzzy]

they tend to last longer than jap stuff because the panels are not toilet paper thin and theyre over engineered.i converted from toyota as well and had an older 1985 rwd mk2 celica that was a money pit compaired to my bmw

[stevenannahouse]

should of asked,,the temp guage only goes up to just past 1 quarter..Is that ok or do i need i new thermostat

[kidsinister]

That could be a bad connection or bad earth somewhere, I've not had a Beemer yet that didn't have an erratic temp guage. I'd have thought a Sport should read nearer halfway, though.

*grammar Nazi mode*

It's "should HAVE", by the way.

I knew you'd like it mate--they really are great to drive arn't they...........that sound totally intoxicates,i hardly ever listen to my CD s these days as the window is always down instead ! When i was looking for a sport i test drove a few dogs along the way and they drove like shite (and based on these experiences,i nearly gave up on a sport) but it's when you drive a good one that you realize just how bad the others were. Treat it well my friend as theres not many good ones left.

Pleased your happy with it, whats it handle like compared to the GT4?

[stevenannahouse]

compared to the gt4,what can i say.The sound is better,,the build quality is alot better and its so much more comftable..Dont get me wrong the gt4 was quick and handled really well (but then again its 4 wheel drive), i had mine at 240bhp but the trim is cheap and rattly, the carpets are wafer thin and the car drank petrol like a fish.
This is my fourth bmw and to be honest im going to hold on to this one,,i have had enough with jap cars.

no more 4 wheel drifts for you then! but comfort and a straight 6 sound track
