328 sport... is that the same as 328IS???
them seats dont cum in all M3's tho do they???
only seen them in sum... was wonderin if was only in the EVO M3's?
It's called the 328i Sport, Vaders came in the M3 3.0l's, and the EVO's, but not in the verts or saloons...
Nikasil is a problem with the bore lining of the cylinders, the high sulpher content in our fuel was wearing away the linings, as they were made of Nikasil... causing premature engine wear and ultimately terminal breakdown, these engines were replaced in March 98 iirc with Alusil blocks...
But also be aware, some cars are running on Nikisal engines at well over 100k miles and not missing a beat...
A compression test is needed to be sure before buying a nikisal block.
Either way, if you do buy one and it goes pop, recon engines for these are pretty readily available, just always budget for them
