Vehicle Details
2003 BMW 325it in Steelblue with beige interior. Was a daily driver until recently and currently has 178,000 miles. I have used the car to haul everything including my three kids. It has completed three track days with little complaint and always made the drive home. Originally an automatic car but converted to a manual by a previous owner. Southern car out of GA with zero rust. The car shows well but is starting to show it’s 20 years of age. Very small dents and scratches are on the somewhat faded paint. The car has a clean carfax and doesn’t show evidence of any paintwork. The front bumper and hood has had it the worst over the years. The front bumper has a crack and scratches on both corners. The hood has dents in the center by the grills from a light impact with something. All damages where on the car when I purchased. I never cared since this was a function over form car for me. The interior shows heavy wear on the seats and headliner. All the piller trim cover fabric is removed.
Mechanically the car is great and has endured a lot over my 10,000 miles of use. Over 2,000 miles racked up moving from MA to LA.
I’ve replaced many things and fixed a couple oil leaks. I replaced the oil pan gasket and tack welded the oil pump nut. Had the GM5 module repaired. I installed TC Kline single adjustable coil overs and had the car aligned to TC specs. Replaced misc bushings. Installed EBC yellow brake pads all round. While doing the brakes installed new bushings for the calipers and braided brake hoses. The car has studs in the front with a 12mm spacer. In the rear I installed 15mm spacers with extended lug bolts. I installed new nexan 200 thread wear tires on factory sport 8” wide wheels for test and tune purposes but fell in love with the size and grip. Has an unknown engine tune installed. Idles at 900 rpm. Secondary air is deleted. Revs past 6500 but I still try to shift at or before 6500. The CEL is turned off, a feature I don’t like. The airbag warning light is illuminated. I’ve had the seats out many times and never really cared to check the light.
Has cold AC and hot heat. Oil change just performed. The power steering pump is noisy and the steering is a little heavier, but I kinda like it. First and second gear make a slight wine noise when accelerating. Has made that noise since I purchased and hasn’t gotten any worse or effects gear changes. Trying to be as honest as possible up front. The car drives fantastic and is a blast to drive. Still has the automatic differential installed so it’s fun to drive around town. A very nice Corbeau seat with slider and mounts are included. Also roof racks and bike mount come for asking price. Happy to talk about the car if you have any additional questions.
