2002 BMW 325i Sport
Discussion
It was about time I'd introduce my pride & joy!
2002 325i Sport, beige leather, wood trim (which I quite like!), autobox, xenons, small satnav (utter rubbish), sunroof, harman kardon stereo, automatic climate control.
Bought it 4 years ago when I was still at Uni so ran it for about 4 years on a student's budget.
So when I started working a lot of things needed doing:
bought some MV1 wheels (quite rare around here)
complete cooling system overhaul (radiator, expansion tank, fan clutch, waterpump, belt & pulleys)
Bilstein B12 Pro Kit (brilliant stuff)
EBC slotted front discs with braided Goodridge hoses en Greenstuff pads all round
OEM front control arms with E46 M3 bushes
Powerflex for RTAB, front & rear antirollbars en subframe
Catback Supersprint exhaust (oh the noise
)
NGK Platinum spark plugs
Dunlop Sport Maxx GT all round
Flushed gearbox & diff fluid
To do:
black kidney grills
maybe orange indicators (quite like the ZHP look)
It's done 100k now but probably drives better than the day it left the factory. It's a lovely machine. Also, absolutely no oil consumption, which seems rare on M54 engined Beemers.
Does about 23.5 mpg, which is ok to me. Given that I recently spent quite a large amount of money on it I'll probably keep on driving it for quite a while, don't think I can ever part with it!
What it looked like the day I bought it, way back in 2009:
