We Picked Up An Abandoned 2004 BMW 325ci E46 Pt 2

How’s the engine with 251k miles? Mines on 257 k

The engine is still smooth, even with old oils and spark plugs and sitting for the past 3 years. I’m really amazed. Not a lot of power (like the type to slam you in your seat) when you floor it but I don’t know if it’s just how the 325 engine is. But overall it’s smooth

@@projectsbyj25 fair enough and yeah mines a 320ci ( 170 bhp ) version it’s plenty enough power for me being a young new driver here in the uk haha. These engines really are strong mine runs ok ish at the moment just needs a new crankshaft sensor as it’s failing. Oil consumption isn’t horrendous either!

@@dexietyy7922 oh ok. yeah mine just sucks the my oil pan is leaking and I looked up the job on how to replace it. Man it is a headache. So many things to remove first before even taking the oil pan off.

@@projectsbyj25 it will be worth it in the end when it’s all done. I bought mine as a project and it’s so close to being completely finished and to how I want it. Very rewarding when you bring a car from its death back up to something decent mines in much better condition now I had a minor sump leak too I fixed it by tightening up the bolts a tiny bit more
