From South Africa

[Kobus325is]

Hi guys. From South Africa. This is my ride. A 1990 325is 2.7 145 Kw. Looking at your rides, I think mine still needs a lot of work to get to some of your rides standards. Just as a matter of interest, what do u think my ride will be worth over there ?

[Kobus325is]

Pheonix Yellow. Same as the E46 M3.

Lovely car mate, ive read the thread on the south african site, you got it finished yet ??

[Kobus325is]

Thanx for all the comps guys ! Yes, it is the 2.7 but not the Alpina, unfortunately. It doesn't have the Alpina cam, although, through the restoration process, it will change. Still lots of work, cosmetic that it. I'm sort of a perfectunist, and looking at some of the rides in UK, at their interios, my heart just akes not being able to have the same.

Here in SA, spares for these cars are scares, and the guys that have spares, either keep them, or ar redicules with the prices.

riklusby. We'll, i've sorted the front suspention out about 80%. Just need to either get new Bilsteins in front, or revamp them. New ones is a bit costly here. I need to fix the sunroof, and then the all to farmilier E30 problem, the dashboard.

Mechanical, I'd like to go the turbo route some day. Cannot get too much horsepower!! And once your hooked, your hooked
