Afternoon all,
Here is my new (to me) 328 sport! I'm very happy with it and its currently doing way better MPG than my previous Alfa GTV. I think you will agree, for 140k she is still looking lovely! + After 2 E30 325 sport i'm a BMW fanboy so finally back in something i love.
I've been having a few teething issues but nothing major ( an oil leak, flat batt ) I also need to do a few jobs to get it where i want. The accessory belts need replacing, the Rear bushes need swapping out, a new gear knob, Steering wheel re-trimmed, wheels re-furbed and im thinking long and hard about getting the rear spoiler removed.

You sure about those mirrors? Actually that probably a moot point as they're usually pilfered within a week or two.
i have the originals if anything ever does happen to them. Im pretty indifferent about them tbh, they are OK and i cant be arsed with the hassle of putting the old ones back on. + they have the night time tint in them to reduce dazzle which is always nice!S3_Graham said:

Can I ask how much? I understand you had some minor issues so far.
Those wheels look ace!
Was up at 2k, knocked down to 1800 due to the oil leak.Those wheels look ace!
Had a few minor issues, Like
the alarm fob not working
finding out it needs new rear trailing arm bushes
broken wire on the illuminated gear knob throwing the dash lights into spac out mode!
Its all sorted now though. Like i said a few things i still need to look at
Inc the oil leak, cant find it for the life of me
alarm - need to contact sigma direct as BMW no longer support it
rear bushes
and the accessory belts.
Its all MORE than worth it though.
Thanks for the Peer pressure btw, Mirrors are now standard....
Looks loads better IMO!! (anyone want a set of Genuine M3's )

Looks good. Got a proper diff and manifold on it?
its got the standard lsd (i think) and still has the standard manifold.I found the standard 2.97 ratio diff a bit too long geared. Got a 3.23 out of an M3 EVO in there now and really livens up the acceleration.
M50 inlet manifold off an earlier 325i or 525i with help the breathing higher in the rev-range increasing top end power, at the expense of low end torque. A cheap worthwhile mod IMO.
