If the engines good then convert it to gas. They are really dead good on gas. I convert quite a few over a year. They never give me any hassle. 68 ltr tank in the spare wheel well. And a lovely economical motor.....

Tubbs may have been referring to making your 525TDS a hybrid fuelled car (using diesel and LPG simultaneously). On a number of diesels you can improve the overall MPG, power and emissions that way . Now that would be unique .

Cheers, I couldn't not fix her. Love it too much <3 Started work on her today, John was doing enginey stuff so I played around at the rear. Large sumpscuffers sticker removed, NSNP sticker added and 325 badge. Black Grille Society and BMW Enthusiasts stickers finally added. SumpScuffers sticker added and 325 badge removed. Left John down at the unit and hopefully engine will be out tonight.

So originally I was going to fit my fellas 16x8 et10 mims after we'd done the 5 stud conversion... However spotted some wheels on drift works this morning and it must've been fate as they were local to where we were heading. They are 16x8 alulines et16 & resprayed glittery silver Sent from my GT-I9300 using proboards

Looking forward to the next generation This has always been an awesome car Could I ask a mega favour? Could you measure between the bolts hole of those top mounts? I'm wondering if they might fit my Monza I know they aren't evenly spaced
