    I MAY possibly be biased, but i think thats really nice. They look great in red. Nice wheels too.
    DONT get rid of the chrome trim! it looks nice and theres too many with the black trim too!!
    whats the bushings like? have you had the rear subby looked at?

    i like the chrome so thats staying , subby is fine , all i need is a cd changer cartridge as its missing and the wheel centre stickers (ordered them just now though), only gripe is its got a lot more body roll than a S14 with coilovers lol but im going to try and sort that, feel like a pimp in it

    yeah, the anti roll bars are a bit lame on them!
    Glad the subby is fine, i had to ask though, as you might as well get bmw to pay for it, if it was fubar!
    Quarry motors may have a changer cartridge. theyre pretty handy for spares.

    Its a 99V brought mine on 29k back in 2004 I think it was with only one previous owner with a full history for about 10K. Its now just gone over 100K and its started to fall apart..

    Water pump is rattling and needs changing asap

    Air con hasnt worked for a while, been told its a leak on the condensor.

    Stering pump is making a wining noise when the cars cold but fine when its warmed up?

    Had a starting problem and traced it to the AFM, replaced it with a new one for £200 and now thats sorted the starting problem and introduced a new one where if I leave the car in park and let it idel for about a minute or two the revs drop to about 500rpm and the engine managment light comes on and the car starts ideling lumpy? When I start to drive the car it drives fine and once left overnight the EML tuns off. The EML light only comes back on again if I let it idel in park...? any ideas on a postcard..

    Apart from that there are a few other niggles but it still keeps going... for now..

    MASH do you drive it hard or anything id like to prevent any of that happening if i can , my history goes up to 116 thousand and its on 119 now going to try and keep ontop of it aslong as its not mega expensive

    anyone had any upgraded headlight bulbs or even hid kits, i remember a lad at work had a kit on his e46 and it was crazy bright,

    You 323 boys are missing 500cc and 60 BHP!
    Still, at least you have the correct number of cylinders for a beemer!

    So they can sell the in USA. Dumb california emissions shit apparently. Hence the 328i only having 7bhp more than the old 325i
