Kia ora guys, Recently I have bought this lovely car. It was imported from Japan with only 20k on odometer. I am first owner and I love this car. Before I had experience only with Japanese vehicles (mostly Subaru) and this one is my first Euro. I have a lot of plans for this car, so probably I will create YouTube channel to show all upgrades ? Thanks.

Kia ora guys. Here I will post everything that I have done with my car from the day 1. So I bought it with 20900 kms on the clock. Full Motorsport package with black R18 wheels. Future plans: - Wrap the front grill. - Protect headlights by using film. - Protect full car paint by Dura Seal ceramic paint protection. - Change coolant - Change cabin filter - Upgrade side turn signals - Buy spoiler - Upgrade exhaust (I want louder. If anyone can advise me how to do it without spending 2-3k for new exhaust system, I will be happy) I have created YouTube channel, where I'm going to share my experience. Thanks.

I've just been having a quick browse of TradeMe/Japanese car auction sites for E90/91 325i LCIs for a friend and I'm noticing that most of the imported 325i LCIs from Japan are fitted with the N53. It's my understanding that the N53 was never sold in the NZ market due to our high sulphur content (50ppm vs 10ppm in Europe and Japan) clogging injectors and other components. The N52 is pretty trouble free apart from usual water pump replacement... are the N53s going to become our new troubled, buyer beware engine ala the N42? I'm imagining regular injector replacements because of our fuel?
