E92 325D M sport Coupe

scotgc · 03-26-2009, 07:15 AM

Hello everyone,

New to the forum just got myself a 325D Msport, had a golf GTI before and a 120D M sport before that. Missed the BMW quality a little although the GTI was a brilliant car.

I managed to get a few extras with the car such as an electric sunroof, 19" alloys, business 10 speaker hifi, auto gearbox and privacy glass. Not sure if i missed anything out

Anyway everyone loves pics so here goes,

Welcome, great colour with the best wheels, sounds like you're going to enjoy the E92.

MB London · 03-26-2009, 08:59 AM

Sweet looking ride man, enjoy

Looney Toon · 03-26-2009, 09:16 AM

Welcome Scotgc!!

That E92 looks beautiful mate. Great choice!

Newbie 4 · 03-26-2009, 09:33 AM

Nice motor mate! Enjoy it!!

scotgc · 03-26-2009, 09:58 AM

Im sure i will, it was lovely to drive around on the test drive hehe.
The 6 cyl diesel sounds really good, i had a 120D m sport before and
the sound didnt bother me at first but eventually i thought it just sounded
a bit too noisy for my liking.

The missus picks it up tomorrow night, unfortunately im stuck offshore!

Has anyone got the ten speaker business hifi ? whats it like? I would have prefered the logic 7 one with the subwoofer.

E902717 · 03-26-2009, 10:14 AM

Congrats on the new car! welcome to the best E9* forum in the world!

AlanQS · 03-26-2009, 11:20 AM

Hi Scot, lovely car. You must trust the missus!

The HiFi, whilst not the power of Logic 7 is pretty good - and a lot better than the standard installation. You have two sub-woofers under the front seats so you will get quite reasonable bass as each sub gets fed with 40w.

The Logic 7 gives you a little more power and changes the subs from 6.5" to 8" (I think) and adds two speakers on the rear parcel shelf and one in the front fascia for the surround sound.

Unless you love being heard from the other end of the street, I think you'll be quite pleased with the sound you are getting.

scotgc · 03-26-2009, 11:26 AM

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the reply im sure the two standard subs will be more than enough for me i didnt realise that it had them, didnt even turn the hifi on during the test drive so thats music to my ears hehe.

Nice car mate. I had a Mk V GTI and miss it dearly...different type of car but oh so good. Not the best build quality but did everything it needed and more.

ed335d · 03-26-2009, 02:43 PM

Sweet looking motor - get some black grills to set off the shadowline and get some silver hammerite on those rusty hubs!

Steve748 · 03-26-2009, 05:45 PM

I have the same wheels as you, and just put proper tyres on.

I was in the parts dept the other day of my local Stratstone and he told me that they have had a lot of these 19" wheels damaged from potholes, especially the back ones.

He said that BMW are not replacing them because they are made to run on normal roads not crappy UK potholed roads and if they get damaged the claim is with the local authority responsible for the pothole and not with BMW.

Lovely car btw, deffo needs black grilles.

lol always remaps and mods with you aint it

nice pics and welcome to the OP

scotgc · 03-27-2009, 12:30 AM

Dont like the sound of the wheels being bashed by potholes, suppose they are pretty low profile tyres ! just have to try and avoid them i suppose!

What do the black grill's look like? I thought they were to distinguish the difference between the 6cyl models and the 4 pot one's?
