Guest Spargo Report post Posted January 21, 2005 Yea, it aint if it hasn't got a blakc headliner. Team McMillan used to chuck the kit and wheels on basic spec 325i's they had trouble selling, beware. No window chrome black headliner pop out windows LSD M-tec suspension 15" rims twin map reading lights on the rear view mirror Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petone 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2005 Maybe it was one of the 325i Cilk Wurm was talking about, brought into NZ as 325 then had kit, etc put on and resigistered as a M325i? I think you can take the VIN to BMW dealer and they will tell you for certain. I dont think the registration is much to go by, if so my car is a BMW 3181. off topic but what do you mean about the pop out windows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 im sure rear opening windows was a option maybe its a south african thing oh yea speaking of south africa has anyone seen that thing on tv ages ago about crime in SA and how some SA e36 got equipt with a flamfrower under the car as safety against car jackers and u flick a switch and push down on the accelerator and flames come out the side of the car! i sure it wouldnt do too many favours to the paint but its a cool option any way back on topic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
