yep, 320i indicates 2 litre, it wasn't until later models BMW started confusing matters with having different engine sizes than stated in the model number IIRC.
0-60 about 3 years, lol! Never taken it up strip or on rolling road so no power stats, I've always been too much of a chicken too.
The car was superchipped before I had it however with it being old I assume it has lost a lot of BHP, maybe when she's back I'll get her to a rolling road?!?
Interior pics will follow, I have no PC at home but will upload through Neils PC.
It's leaking water from somewhere, when it rains the passenger foot well gets wet, I had some welding done which I thought had cured it, but it's not, Nez seems to think it may be to do with the bulk head, so this needs looking at too!
Oh dear, my old banger is giving up on me!
Just need to keep her sweet until I save for my Skyline

Me personally, I dont think it need change too much from what it is now. That kit will do just enough. I kick myself sometime that I missed out on buying it off Dave myself, especially after taking it to MPL last year. It drives mint and sound awsome under accelaration with its six pots and it green air filter.
The colour is awsome but expensive to touch up, so maybe a similar colour that can be touched up if needed.
I did like the look of it with the smoked headlights but I understand why they were took off. Maybe do it again but not so dark.
Id stick to at least 17 inch wheels but I'm not a big fan of little wheels.
The leather interior is 100% mint and 100% comfy. I'm not sure about the Apache steering wheel though, I thing you need to sell it to me. I'll take it of your hands for the van. There's a nice black leather one in there that would got much better with the BM's interior. lol.

I love the sound of it to Alanman. Funny you should mention the steering wheel, I'm looking for a black leather one, but still not a standard BM one as they're massive!
I like the smoked headlights too but with all the police attention now, I'd be getting pulled every 5 minutes!
As for the kit, I think if I have this on I will have to have the whole car resprayed anyway as I don't know if it could be matched up?

So, last night, Nez put a new battery on her, but she wouldn't start, she needs a new distribution cap and we're going to slap new plugs in her, oil change and filter as well while we'rer at it.
When she wouldn't start i actually guessed that the engine wasn't sparking, i was dead pleased with myself!
Getting excited now
Sarahb xx
jeez it's really been 10 months... shocking... bet you'll be glad to have her back on the road though
i like the old girl ( and the e30
) both look smart
you'll be cruisin for a bruisin with that comment nez hehe... indeed the bm looks uber smart
I quite like you too even if you are smelly
should be getting parts to get her running today, then she's off to have her tanks fitted and MOT done tomorrow (fingers crossed everyone!)
Sarahb xx
The old girl is up and running and has gone today for her fuel tank to be fitted, hopefully if Nez has time, she'll get her MOT too! Not getting my hopes up though, he said it looked a bugger to do!
with all the cars out of the way, I went to the fiesta (which was the furhtest up the garden), that old girl never fails, she's been stood all this time, and she started 1st time! Moved her back, no brakes stuck on. So, this weekend when Nez is at work on Sat morning, I'm going to give her a clean out and slap her on ebay, see what she fetches.
Wow, maybe soon I will be down to 1 car?
Sarahb xx
Right then......
New Tank on
Oil changed
Oil filter
Induction Kit Cleaned
Left hand Wing Mirror Glass replaced
MOT'd
Off to Tax her tomorrow, will be using again on Thursday.
This weekend I will be mostly cleaning and treating leather and everything. Hopefully take wheels off and clean/polish thoroughly.
Also give the fiesta a good fettle and get her on fleebay! Crikey, it's going to be a mammouth task!
Fanx Nez xXx

was a right bitch to do but all done none the less, glad all ok now xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So after driving back from Sheff on Sat with a funny knocking noise and discovering when I got home it was a big piece of tyre hanging off, I've got some new ones, yippee!
Saving now for the Breyton Kit, STILL searching for a colour I like and thinking about either alpina's or some bbs deep (ish) wheels for her.
Need to get the kit and paint sorted, talk nicely to a couple of car painters
and see how much it'll set me back.
Before this, I need to sort my worn but legal brake pipes (Safety First) and my Exhaust. Think I'll have NO money over winter, but Fingers crossed, I should have a nice tidy car for next season
Crickey there's loads to do!
Sarahb xx
i like the sound of the bbs wheels! LM Champion Edition would rock or
Super RS's
