Hi guys , im new around these parts .

This is my 325ti , got it in feb this year.




Flew down to the cape and drove her back to Dbn . having not inspected the car myself (got a friend to) was pleased with it . Trip went well apart from a few pics in the mail from the fuzz :rollsmile:

The 1st thing on order were the clear lenses that just spoilt the front !



Then carbon fibre badges and plastidipped replacement kidneys (originals were broken and stuck on with superglue:fencelook:) . Took off all the beadings and sent them for colour coding .




tried to get rid of the front number plate holder but wasn't to my liking



thats about it for now . . . have done a bit more in this time . Will upload more pics and update later . Thanks for looking and let me know what you think .

welcome bud...

i just sold my TI, what an awesome car bud,

i loved every drive i had in that little beast,




i hope you have a great stay on the forum bud well played on the front plate i was going to do that but couldnt get the front panel to replace the plate holder...

There is a TI in south africa with an e46 ///M engine in it.

You could get a full S54 engine for R50k from IPC. But then you'd need gearbox, and DME too.

Soooo, would cost a lot more...

You'd also want rear axle and diff...

but it would be a great project, then install this bodykit

thanks for all the kind words guys !!

After the autocross I had to do the brakes . Managed to find a complete set of 330 disks and calipers from a scrappy.



Tried hijacking my bros 19's of his Mcoupe .



They look awesome , but rubbed badly !

then found a set of m3 branches


They didnt fit so had to settle for a set of viper branches from moranor@axis . Had the branch in less the 2 hours after calling the man. :thumbs: legendary stuff !

haven't completed the system yet , only had the cats removed and headers installed . Sounds nice inside the car but very raspy from outside .

Fixed a thermostat housing and tappet cover leak , serviced and pulled took out the CDV valve Also painted the interior trim (was a horrible grey ) , plastidipped a few things , added a Msport gearknob and a dension gateway .

Its been fun. Did all of the stuff myself ,apart from the exhaust ,with the help of my bro .

That looks nice ! dont like the rear bumper tho .

The S54 swap would probably end up costing the same as what i paid for the car. Dont see myself doing that swap .
