Hey, doesn't look bad at all Sean, the 325 diesel is a pretty rapid car. And at least it's German and rear wheel drive! |

There not a bad car sherkky had a 1.8 back in the day. The sharp handling is very neat as is the balance, can be easily provoked into oversteer. Sorry I forgot you can get a ban for that, Bad car, ugly car .

A few years back I owned a 1993 E36 316i. It was a top car, comfortable and fun to drive I couldn't fault it. I understand some of the 2.5 diesels had 150hp. Nice. Stu |

its sean lol as for the veg oil, not sure,the handbook gives a warning about running it on bio-diesel or kerosene/parafin, saying it will damage the rubber seal, and being it has electronic injectors makes me a bit dubious Edited by shrekky, Sat Feb 12, 2011 2:16 am.

I looked into running one of them on veg and I think there is a rotary style diesel pump somewhere in the rear which is whack for running on veg but there is info out there on how to change the pump to one that's good to run on the stuff
