welcome to my bimmer page. what youre looking at here is my 1992 325i BMW. enjoy, and float me some ideas if you have any. dont be afraid to leave me criticism of the good or bad variety, it all helps.
Well here it is my pos work in progress Ill start off with the things that were wrong with the car when I bought it. when I purchased my car it was defenatly USED, (dirty carped, floor mats falling apart, headliner falling, ect.) but I held out hope that it could be saved. upon close inspection of the car I found the obvious dings chips and scratches which are expected from a car of this age, and the peeling clearcoat didnt do much to stop me from buying this beast. so without further hesitation I took a test drive, signed the papers forked over the cash and drove it home the next day. It wasnt until I starded taking stuff apart that I realized what I had just
done. as I started doing the routine mantinence I discovered that it had no air filter, it wasnt dirty or torn it was GONE.
needless to say this pissed me off. so I went to auto zone to get a new filter, no problem, then upon returning home I found a nice puddle of oil. by this time i was ready to shoot somthing, ie unfortunate pigeon. I broke out the creeper and set to work trying to find a loose fiting and I did, it was behind the oil filter housing, got that fixed, in good shape now
right? Wrong, as I was driving it to school the steering wheel started to shimmy so I took it to the shop and they hapily charged me 500 bucks to fix the tie rods. about three months went by and I started to notice a ratling noise coming from the back passenger side of the car. yehaw more fix it bills, I tore the trunk apart to find that the shock mount on the passenger side was broken, cool I bought a lemon. but all things aside evrything mechanical that needed fixing has been delt with and now all I have left to do is spend money on go fast parts and deal with some visual issues. so heres a list of the stuff I have done to RED LINE. the second list is the "plan to" list.
What Ive alredy done to it
1. cut out all baffleing that restricts airflow
2. made my own intake
3. cut the baffling out of the exhaust, rumbles doesnt buzz!
4. bought a nock off dinan chip, made it run noticably better, gave it a boost through the torque curve
5. painted up the cylinder head , coil cover, fuel rail cover and the calipers
6. tinted the windows, no shade is illegal in Nebraska I guess...
7. some other stuff that I forgot...
