E36 325i is leaving soon...

[Kurt Adv]

My '95 325i is being sold, 492000km on the clock, had to make way for the 330i which I found on this forum.(I want a picture when it hits 500K)
The 325i has been a good car, very few hassles, clutch done at 450 000km, shocks all round when required, some time back the thermostat blocked up, over pressurized the radiator, replaced both, problem solved, visco fan coupling packed up a about 460 000km, did alternator bearings at around 430 000km, replaced fanbelt tensioner pulley at the same time, replaced one sideshaft at about 380 000km, gearknob was replaced, original one broke, lots of gear changes later, other than that, no issues, it never left me standing next to the road.....hope the next owner enjoys her as much as I have.....awesome car....:thumbs:
Lets hope the 330i goes as far.....so far I am enjoying the 330i tremendously...

These motors were the first multi valve ( non M ) we had here and they were a bit low in torque low down but once over 3000 they started going and at about 4500 they were wide awake .....funny how much they liked revs and lasted ....:thumbs:
The 330i :thumbs: , quick pick up from low revs and a great sound .

The m50 motors are very strong, hitting 495k km and I though my 95 320i with 389k km was high kilometers, Congrats on the 330i

Wow! Almost 500k km! That is really impressive stuff! I wonder how many of today's cars will manage this!! :fencelook:

Congrats on the 330i!!! :thumbs:

Yup, at 4500 you can feel the difference, might be the Vanos doing its job.....really liked to rev, still knows where the rev limiter is....

I will get a pic of the mileage and of the car, I know the next owner too, I want a picture when it clocks 500 000.....

 

[Kurt Adv]

Car gone, hope he enjoys it as much as I have....

congrats on the new ride.

Im sure its sad to see your old ride leave. I sure hope the new owner cares for it as much as you did.

 

[abmi0000]

Excellent choice on the new ride. Hope it brings just as much joy and reliability.
