JJ's BMW 325D M Sport - Jj0063 - 15:th-Sep-2016 Hey guys, Thought some of you may be interested in seeing the car I traded my Astra in for back in April... 2007 BMW 325D M Sport 3.0 6 cylinder diesel 2 owners 169k Full history, all BMW dealer bar one stamp Last owner was a motor home company in Torquay & it was their directors car for 5 years. Coming from a 1.7 SRI CDTI Astra J I have to say the power is awesome, it's over 200 bhp and for a diesel it sounds fantastic as its 6 cylinder. Also, I've been paying a very close eye to fuel economy and I can factually say this 3 litre diesel German tank does 3-4 MPG more than the 1.7 Astra! It's now on 177k and passed its MOT with no advisories a couple of weeks ago. Here's the car as I got it: I have so far done the following modifications: Genuine BMW Performance gloss black kidney grills Black front splitters LED Number plate light units LED front indicator bulbs LED sidelights LED front fog lights LED interior lights LED puddle lights LED door handle lights Replacement tinted side repeaters 5000K HIDS new model 'Stealth' with braided wiring, brushed ballasts etc. Interior trims and mirror caps all wrapped in 8D carbon fibre effect wrap LCI rear end conversion consisting of boot lid and genuine LED tail lights. Digital speedo coded US side markers coded Alarm chirps coded Digital speedo coded Genuine BMW floor mats Front and rear dash cams hard wired in I also am 3/4 the way through a dash project whereby I'm mounting a Nexus 7 Android tablet in a double din fascia to make an OEM carputerwith full internet ETC. And done the following maintenance: NEW HVAC/blower motor Aug 2016 NEW windscreen Aug 2016 NEW Pollen filter Aug 2016 NEW LUK Clutch and Dual mass flywheel fitted in April 2016 NEW tyre fitted Aug 2016 Here's the car as it stands today (Literally taken an hour ago) These are just wrapped: Couple of general shots: And a few shots from last week: Hope you all like!

Even the seat bolster looks good for its mileage Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk RE: JJ's BMW 325D M Sport - andy2174 - 16:th-Sep-2016 Looks really good, although you must have had some serious expense with the HVAC blower, clutch and flywheel ? RE: JJ's BMW 325D M Sport - tucpal - 16:th-Sep-2016 nice motor mate i was looking at one or two before i got the siggy certainly they have a very nice drive and engine just look after it correctly though with that mileage but i am sure you will RE: JJ's BMW 325D M Sport - Jj0063 - 16:th-Sep-2016 (16:th-Sep-2016, 07:38:52)andy2174 Wrote: Looks really good, although you must have had some serious expense with the HVAC blower, clutch and flywheel ? HVAC was £60 Clutch & flywheel was pennies short of a grand :( (16:th-Sep-2016, 07:38:52)andy2174 Wrote: Looks really good, although you must have had some serious expense with the HVAC blower, clutch and flywheel ?
