New to me 95 M3

[m3f_mewantkouki]

I just picked up a 95 M3 as a new daily / project. The car is in decent shape with relatively low miles for it's age. (92k) Silver over black leather.


So far my short list is:

1. Silicone coolant hose conversion & aluminum expansion tank

2. Belt & tensioner service

3. Guibo & driveshaft center bearing replacement

4. Power steering pump rebuild & an line conversion

5. Baffled oil pan & oil pump nut service

6. Bushing replacement

Congratulations! Good luck with the work and let us know the progress.

Nice! Looks awesome. Your list looks good. I would add full coolant overhaul if it hadn't been done already. ( radiator, thermostat, water pump)


One thing, I have had a silicone upper rad hose burst after like 10k miles. I replaced it with the OEM rubber hose and it is still going strong for over 100k. I think sometimes OEM is best, and "upgrades" are actually downgrades!

Good color combo.


Keep the ambers.

The car has a fluidyne radiator, newish themostat and I believe a water pump with a metal impeller already. I had the expansion tank commit suicide on me recently, so I figured I'd go ahead and replace all of the hoses while I was in there. I love the ambers too! I'll post some more pictures of it soon after I get it cleaned up.

Looks great. I love the looks of early cars, even though the differences are so small. The grills and sidemarkers suit the boxy shape more.

92k miles is crazy low for a 95!

Welcome to the club! Looks like a great base to start off with, and solid wheels to boot. Looking forward to seeing the updates.

Ha....



I've got 76k on mine, all of them by me

Nice find. Liking the clean no rear spoiler look!

[m3f_Bmwpower603]

Looks clean. And the miles are super low.



Good find.

Very nice buy! Definitely don't do silicon houses. Get OEM fresh ones if you're worried about them.

[m3f_mewantkouki]

Spent a lot of money today...

Pictures of cool parts to come as soon as they get delivered!
