2001 Brilliant Red 325i Touring.

I still hold that bmw would've made a ton of money in SA if they had the Xi models here on the E46 and E90 models

Its starting to make sense what all the other extra wires are for when I retrofit electric seats to E46s...:coolShake:

Gizmo, will mine not be able to this seeing that I have M3 seats retrofitted?

I don't think the xi models would sell in this country, there is no need for it because we don't get northern hemisphere winters.

I would need to connect the rest of the wires to make it work.

Gizmo... remember Subaru, remember Audi Quatro...

trust me, thay would sell.

Can you imagine how well a 335i would launch with all wheel drive :rollsmile:

 

[Gizmo]

According to overseas forums, the xi gearboxes are not strong. They would explode from the torque of the 335i, thats why there are no 335xi models.

 

[Coisman]

then imagine my 325i with xi :rollsmile:

 

[Gizmo]

It would make your 325i slower.

The 325i doesn't have enough power to break traction as it is...

 

[cOlDFuSiOn]

BMWs are not built to be launched they are built to take sideways :coolShake:

 

[Coisman]

Gizmo, I will take you for a spin when I come to get my box... not enough power to break traction... BLASPHEMY!!!!

Bradley is going to MP this long weekend so I suggested we sort a few things out before he leaves.

I removed the no-name brand front control arm bushes and installed Meyle HD ones in their place.










I also installed a centre armrest.


Seeing as the car is auto, why not throw in a E46 M3 SMG steering wheel retrofit...




The car also has a wheel vibration on the highway, front left and back right wheels are buckled, so I fitted the spare which was terribly buckled! Just Bradley's luck, 3 of the 5 Style 44 wheels are buckled! So I threw on 2 style 32's onto the back so he can have a safe trip. She looks funny but at least she is safe to drive...

Oh, I forgot to mention, yesterday morning I took his car to Budler Motorsport and had Boetie fix his original key as the remote wasn't working. Boetie did a fantastic job in repairing it and installed a new key battery while he was at it, I also had him code the car so the doors auto lock as you drive away.:coolShake:

 

[Nikhil]

Awesome man! I see it still has cats sies! The auto lock function can also be enabled using inpa and allows you to set which speed the doors lock at :rollsmile:

Are those paddles functional? Would love those.

 

[sash]

oooh nice

Of course!

I loaned Bradley my style 18's until he can get his 44's straightened, had TWT swap his tyres onto them just now and I just finished fitting them to the touring. She looks different! Looks like a used tampon!:roflol:

 

[Budleigh]

That actually looks really cool.
