Black Betti: BMW 325ti Sport

[HugoFastmann]

Hey guys, just thought I'd share my daily driver, my E46 BMW 325ti Sport. It's a genuine M Sport model, in Black Sapphire Metallic, with Montana Grey leather sport interior and carbon cube trim. I've been slowly doing work to it. Upgrades so far include:

• Cades Tora alloys in Hyper Silver - 18x8J ET40 front, 18x9J ET35 rear
• Dunlop Sport Maxx RT tyres - 225/40/R18 front, 255/35/R18 rear
• H&R Sport CupKit suspension
• MTEC grooved/dimpled brake discs
• Mishimoto silicone intake boot, with resonator delete
• Rear wiper delete
• Facelift tail lights
• SMD angel eyes
• Alpine after market head unit

I've got an E60 short shift kit which is going to get installed when I have a free dry day. I also need to do a CCV replacement, which I'll do when I do a 330ci inlet upgrade at some stage in the next few months.





Would be nice if I could upload some decent images...

Welcome to the club!

I've had mine for nearly 5 years, and just cant get rid of it - its just a great all rounder.

Yours looks good in black - what interior is yours? I've seen some weird combinations! (a casual look at auto trader last week, and I saw one where the actually dash top - not the inserts, but the dash itself, had been specced in bright red!)

Great car OP.

I've had mine a bit over 2 years and just love it!



I think the red dash was a BMW Individual option - I saw one with blue dash and seats before I bought mine!

Now you both need to head over to "BMW General" where the is a 325ti Appreciation Thread with over 50 pages - I'm sure you could add something to that!

Nice looking car. Here's another BM that goes by the same moniker

I've seen your car everywhere recently, Tim! Finally here. Love mine too, and there's a dedicated thread for all lovers of them linked below. Also I am friend of Paul, with the silver 320td and co owner of the 328ci project.

The Red and blue dash tops were only available if red or blue leather was specced. Mine has the blue top and Tpopaz blue half leather. I like it.
