Bullitt 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2005 Following on from the other thread, time to put it in the right place 1986 M325i Motorsport Bought new in Palmerston North and at some stage during the 90s made its way down here. I bought it 26 July. Was talking to a BMW wrecker/garage on friday and he knew the car, apparently it used to have the proper 15" wheels on it last time he saw it :thumbsdown: Jacked it up today and it does have an LSD too :bounce: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullitt 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2005 go the black motorsport According to the guy I was talking to on Friday its Diamond Schwartz which apparently is a facelift colour?Confirms the AA report that said it had been repainted. Was originally black anyway so the engine bay etc match. Been painted along time as its now pretty stone chipped but otherwise it dont look like its been repainted so it was a good job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullitt 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2005 Sold the Del Sol. Its gone to a chick in Ashburton. Got marginally more for it than I paid for this, but by the time I get this sorted itll cost me more For anyone who dont know this is what I used to have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullitt 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2005 Well Im sure its been repainted and Ive been told its Diamond Schwartz. The rest of it Ive been told too but who knows (certainly not me anyway) I paid $6500 for it. The paint looks good in photos but in person its quite badly stonechipped, otherwise good and shiny though Other things wrong with it are cracked indicators (now replaced) cracked foglights (now glued up until I decide whether its worth replacing them properly), drivers seat worn (bought another back seat and will retrim it) The reason I sold my CRX is Im doing up a Datsun 160J. I need a car with a back seat and that I can tow with cause currently it looks like this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullitt 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 Quick update. Got front drivers seat retrimmed using material from spare back seat as mine was totally stuffed It had the centre top and bottom as well as outside bolsters redone. Only original parts are back, left side bolsters and headrest. Only way you can tell is it now has stripes of stiching running through the bottom piece due to the way the material was compared to the flat piece on the passengers side. Top part matches so Im happy with it. Also put my 320mm Momo race on from my old car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 Nice, retrim looks great. Are you going to put a short shifter in? What happened to the MTECH steering wheel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullitt 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 No plans for a shortshifter, Im happy enough with the gearbox the way it is. The MTECH steering wheel is currently sitting on my couch but itll soon be stored away to be kept to be put back on at a later date Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
