boost monkey 0 Posted June 14, 2009 Nice car fella. Does it really go like stink compared to your 20v? the 325 only has about 170ish hp I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I've been spoilt with turbo cars........I forgot just how much you have to wring the neck of an N/A car to get it to do anything!!! Once it gets above 4K though it sounds fookin awesome......Straights Sixes :nuts: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KipVR 1 Posted June 14, 2009 Awesome cars!! I've always loved them, but never owned one :( Don't like the exhaust though, too big imo. You should also get some leather repair dye from furniture clinic, that'll sort all the cracks out etc then the interior will look as mint as the outside. Really nice car :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chazrad 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Great car, mate! I had a 1987 325i Auto 5-door in Silver until last Summer. I loved it to bits, and it never let me down (...well ok, just once with a flat battery). I had some bodywork tidied up on it, put it on refurbed 15in BBS cross spokes, kept it as mint as possible for a daily, did 55,000 miles in it over 5 yrs and loved every second :D . It took us to France and Spain twice as well as a trip to Le Mans in 2007 - all without a hitch. I only got rid of it because I fancied a change (and bought the Golf). They have a real cult following now, even though the bulk of them are not worth much, and I love to see good ones driving around. Best of luck with yours.

rado-steve 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Cheers Mate! Well my mate steve refurbed the Seats for me......What a cracking job he's done :salute: Here you go: A quick reminder before shot with nasty cracking and a horrid 5hit stain on the drivers seat... and after steve had them for a few days..... And stripped the Cup holder of the 5hit covering it had and fitted it the proper way round Good Job Eh??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
