Well seeing as Passionford is as good as PassionBMW I thought i'd fire a couple of pics up for you all now to hate another BM owner! haha..
It's a 325i M coupe "Highline" which is just a trim level afaik..
covered only 7654miles when I picked it up
Optional extra's off the top of my head:
Coral red dakota leather
Extended light package
Bluetooth
DAB
313M 19" wheels
extended luggage
Extra storage (cup holders
)
Auto box with paddle shift on s/wheel (was unsure about this, but love it now!)
folding mirrors
M s/wheel
M suspension
M bodykit
Leccy seats
Rear PDC
Lots of wax![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
Bought it end of august:
At the stealers after I just purchased:

Sales guy was decent as fook, and said he'd throw in some 313M wheels as a 'sweetener'
to which I accepted and VERY glad I did, wheels IMO suit it to a T.
Day I got it home:

And one from the previous owner last year, which shows off the colour nicely!
note the black grills he had fitted, unsure wether to refit them or not...
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/vroooom_ptssssh/My%20Car/BMW/BMW-311009.jpg)
Dunno what if anything i'll do to it otherwise, Possibly grills, rear windows tinted and maybe in future a possibly wrap in white...just for a change although I ALWAYS wanted a white E92 with red leather, when I saw this I was actually taken a back that the red interior went with the blue exterior.
ah well there you go,

been looking at these and tempted to do the white wrap myself. Whats it like to drive??
Was thinking about the 320 though as atm I have a 2.0t A3 and it is a bit firsty especially being on the dsg box!

Matt, It's REALLY nice to drive especially with the Auto, was very unsure of it until I picked the car up and have to say unless I bought something like a cos I dont think i'd get another manual again! It's probably exact same par as my mates mk5 GTI, can keep up no bother on the M/way but off the lights it leaves him sitting as you just plant it and it goes!
Although it's badged as a 2.5 it's a 3.0, same as the 330i only different ECU, Cams and Inlet isn't variable like the latter, If you can stretch to a 6 cylinder model i'd definately go with that mate, silky smooth! I get around 25-28MPG, but I've not been driving it too slowly, and haven't done any long journey's to see how good it would be (think claimed MPG is 29.1?)
Hey Hev, thanks much..prob did see it on FB, probably more pics of the car than me on it! haha.![Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
James - It's prob a bit marmite for some people, but I do like them

Raberto, Broke the 200 for parts, NEVER AGAIN
SXOC is full of twat's when it comes to buying parts ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Still got the S1 and corsa for commuting, engine rebuild over winter...get yer tools oot!
also want a YZ125 MX bike...but prob sell the S1 early summer next year and get one then!
Johnny, I didn't get the grills with the car but they're something like Ł60 from BM, v.tempted, the current grills are the only bit of chrome on the car.

Do really like them, the audi gets around 150 miles to Ł40 not sure how that works out low twenties??, but that said going gentle on the paddles rather than the auto box i have had it up and over 40mpg!!
Has to be the m-sport kit on these though, make it look awsome, actually prefer the 19's you had on it, would have been nice in acthrecite when you wrap it!!

Rich - True enough and can always sell the black ones on to recoup funds....
Matt - I stick Ł20 V power in and I get around 110 miles at an average 26mpg !
non M sport kitted ones do look pretty naff, as for wheels, I must admit the pics dont do them much justice, they have anthracite inserts, but each to there own I won't shoot you for preffering the older ones! haha.
Mick - that's good going on a 330, what horsepower is that one? 256 or something? Mines supposedly 215, would be interesting to stick a 330 ECU in it to see what it done, although prob not much without cams or inlet.

according to the book of lies its either 225 or 231, it's fairly quick but its when its on the motorway that it sort of comes into its own, it cruises effortlessly . as for the m kit mine isn't and tbh looks a little plain , but i'd rather it looked like a 318 and was left alone, way to many jealous twats out there..

Rab, you bought an RS turbo yet? :Cry:
Cheers guys, think i'll get some grills...they are actually Ł85 from BMW, some people do aftermarket copy's (to which I dont know how good they are) but found a good 2nd hand set of genuine ones for Ł60
