- Hello everyone. I want to create a build thread for a few reasons.
1. Display everything that I am planing to do in terms of parts, changes etc.
2. Use the build thread as a diary.
3. Debate with members at r3vlimited about things to do and not to do etc.
- Now, first of all, I do not own the car yet - crazy, I know right ;) - but I have decided that after all these years (since 1995 or so) that I want a mint condition 325i M. There is something special about this model that I cannot get out of my head, or mind body and soul.
- It is better to have this thread than non and it keeps me away from needing multiple documents locally etc. It is so much simpler this way.
- So why a 4-door? Well, first of all, the market consist of 80% or so 2-doors, coupé and cabriolet, they are extremely usual versions these days. And I did after all fell in love with the sedan. There is nothing wrong with the coupé (M3) and I can live with that car, no problem. But if I get my way then it will be the sedan.
- The other issue I am facing atm is that there is one part that is missing from the M-tech II package for the sedan to make it complete, and that is: 11 Covering door rear right 1 09/1987 51712239876, the rest is there. So, unless I can find a used package, I am considering going for the ABS plastic kit Pro Parts in Bulgaria is offering. That to is ABS and casted from the original. So should be good, but it is not original. And I cannot afford this until the spring. But the front and rear is no issue, BMW is still offering this.
- Other than M-Tech II exterior, there will be ALPINE Klassik Style II 18" rims and the color will be Cosmos black. Like the one in the picture, but that is the coupé.
Here are a few img of the sedan, in blue and sporting the ALPINE Klassik 17" rims
- There are and will be many mechanical aspects like engine, breaks, steering upgrades that I want to cover as well, besides the interior and so forth. But this is a good start.
