Instead of adding these to the rather unremarkable 'mileage questions' thread, I thought I'd stick them up in a new one.
So voila, my new car:
It's a 1990 BMW 325i SE, with M-technics suspension and various other detail bits. The car, of course, is equipped with the 2.5 litre straight six howling out (through the factory optional decat exhaust) 171BHP and 166ft.lb, redlining at 6700RPM.
Have to say I'm quite suprised at the level of kit - it's got headlight wash/wipe, electric sunroof, overhead warning console, all electric windows, electric mirrors, external temperature sensor, four headrests, trip computer, stopwatch, limiter (just a visible/audible one, mind), factory tweeters (along with 4 speakers and CD player), intermittent wipers and more.
Nice to have a really good alarm system on it too - just gives it that modern edge, with remote central locking, autolocking on engine start, ultrasonic interior alarm and so on.
What can I say, I'm extremely impressed with it and love it to bits already. It does everything you want it to and then some and has plenty to entertain you. Feels very well built as you'd expect also and shows it's 28.5k original invoice when new!
Badge, anyone?:
Drives beautifully too with very little roll, plenty of grip, a smooth ride - and much to my suprise - really revs. Found myself bouncing it off the limiter today out of a junction (after cleaning it so obviously a little slippy), grabbing second and watching the speed pile on!
Love it!
