Jamie's phoenix yellow e92 325d coupe

Hi guys I'm back again with my 4th e92.

First one was back in 2010 with a sapphire black 325i se coupe

Then in 2013 I got a white 320d lci on pcp which subsequently had to go back to fund a house purchase

Last year I got a 2006 sapphire black 325i se coupe again but really disliked it as I'd got used to the looks and interior of the m sport.

Fast forward to last week and I picked up one of my favourite cars to date.

Its is a

2007 325d coupe {197}
Manual
M sport
Mv4s
Ccc nav
Power fold mirrors
Black leather
Electric memory seats
Heated seats
Privacy glass
Performance brakes all round

So as you can see it's a decent spec and has been remapped to circa 260bhp

Drives really nice.

Few jobs need doing whicg are

Front arms need changing as it jolts when you jump on the brakes

Front and rear bumpers need painting due to damage

New steering wheel and gearknob due to wear

New front tyres

Wheel refurb.

My other car is a heavily modded z4 so want to keep this oem ish as I can and ejioy it as a daily driver.

Thanks for looking.
Jamie

Nice! Get your steering wheel refurbed by Royal. They do a great job.

Lovely. The colour really suits it. Never seen one in it before so I guess it’s individual? As already said darker wheels would look good.

Thanks guys just fitted some veeman VFS23.
Needs lowering now I think. It's already on apex springs but I don't think they've lowered it from m sport much at all
