im not totally convinced

someone once bought one off me from a 320 took it home and it wouldnt fit

we compared with 2 more i had and iirc 1 had a different amount of teeth on it

sorry for the dampner :roll:

I bought the 325i se in the pic below (20 years old), had it sat on my drive for a year and half. Did a fluid change, engine, gearbox and diff, then thrased the car through europe on the Scumball 300 Rally for 4 days.

Not only did it not skip a beat it out performed all the porsches and older sports cars and overall won the endurance side of things.

A good suspension setup, great tyres and the rest was up to the old girl, and she did us proud...

A truelly execellent marker under the BMW cap.
