Guest Andrew Report post Posted June 2, 2004 Loving the interior - still not a big fan of compacts but that one does look OK with all the kit and sweet wheels etc. Nice color also. 3rd e46 on bimmersport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidNZ 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 Hey mate - looks good. I saw it outside of Commerce the other day and wondered if it was yours! Congrats. Hopefully we'll bump into each other (again) - i'm curious about the quality of the stereo. Congrats again. Making me want to give up my own E36 318i!

Guest Speedye30 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 Yes, pic 4 is very nice. Crop it a bit and make a wallpaper! (Hey its only new once...) I always liked the compacts, and your one looks very sharp. What have they told you to do regarding running in? Interior looks great too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliluya 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 The stereo is nice ... thats actually my radar detector, and i have a G-tech sitting here at home. It's my dad that told me pretty much keep it under 3000rpm and under 80km for the first 5000KMS. he used to be a mechanic. There is no M3 mirrors for this compact. Thanks for the great replys ... The car is acutally dirty at the moment .. i might wash it in the weekend and take some more photo's ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadowninja 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 No I don't think USA gets the compacts, their entry model is the 325i Sedan. They also get xi 3-series models that are 4WD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The run in period for the motor is very short - you really need to thrash them a little - big full throttle pulls and big slow downs to seat the piston rings properly.

aliluya 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Andrew .. can you go further with the run in period .. thrash how much .. ? or are you pulling my leg ? got a site that has more information on run in's ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Andrew .. can you go further with the run in period .. thrash how much .. ? or are you pulling my leg ? got a site that has more information on run in's ? Well there is a lot of different ideas - I tend toward this one. Sure enough did it on my new motor and it goes pretty hard.http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Report post Posted June 3, 2004 Andrew, your the ONLY person i know of thats done that run in. I didn't do exactly that - I did the Stu McHenry way - the hard pulls up to 4500. Seems to work well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
