After driving a 1987 318i for 3 years I started to get bored...

... Not bored anymore

heres some quick pics just with the phone camera..

Lucky man. I love that car

Is it F4LLEN?

You will love the manual mate, so much more fun than an auto

Have you got your new one yet?

nice cars man. hope it all works out for you in the manual!

im trying to get my mum into a nice e46 sedan or touring but think shes got her heart set on a vw beetle... has for years haha... least its still a euro i spose

I hope it goes well too, It's all been pretty messy buying the car so far with sorting the finance owing on the car etc... but thats sorted now and just got to do some last minute things tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.

I've been trying to get my parents to buy a BMW for years, ever since I got the e30 back in 2005. Finally achieved that.

Also half way through the build the engine bay caught on fire. That was good for a laugh

Well I guess the cats out of the bag.

I am teh google king:

No quick remove it, I wanted it more a surprise!

I watched that show yesterday.. They put 6 inch spacers on it!!! even after the engineer said thats a bad idea.

Haha yeah, already trying to work out when I will be able to steal her springs and shocks without her knowing.

It's nice mate - really looks the business

but only an auto - buy a manual and smoke her at the lights

Way ahead of you mate, if all goes to plan I will be driving this home tomorrow... (just a teaser for now.)

So long story short... I have been looking at 328i coupes for a while now, test driven a few and chosen the one I want. But during this process my mother decided she also likes the e36 coupes, then my father decides maybe Mum needs a new car. The result... Mums 1997 328i coupe

Apparently it would pass a W.O.F, "just needs a spare wheel"...

Is F4LLEN from bimmersport? it is a very nice car though, I would probably choose it over a cheap m3 too.

edit.. I found it F4LLEN link

Your silver 328i was the best looking out of all the ones I looked at but I just had to go with the 3 pedals, my left foot just has too much energy to drive an auto..

SOLD. now the next issue, what do i get now?

Congrats bro...

but I had been nagging mum to buy your car so i could steal the wheels and your air filter set up for the soon to be mine, 328i manual. She actually started to think about it, Too late I guess..

p.s I'm the dude who came to look at the car last weekend.

Air flow sensor?

mines faulty

still up for grabs?

not to bad , not much worse than a 525i or 325i. pretty high geared . usees a good amount of torque to hold speed .

What panels do you have to replace on the car? and after they are on, what sort of body work is needed to get it tidy looking? I'm still pretty interested in this one

Good to have a member in Whangarei lol. Been lonely since TronSpec left for Aus.

Go Whangas

Haha yeah, Go the rei!

listed here.

i basically needs a good panel and paint good .

i have all the replacement bolt on panels in the same colour .

mecanically its pretty good.

interior not to bad . just needs a clean etc .

electrics pretty good ,just a couple of things , have all the parts .

would come up pretty good with a few days work

I'm actually quite interested with this one, just one thing.. will it take all my earnings for gas?

reccomend a 2.5L in a 325i etc , or if you what a 5 seires go for a 530i 535i or 540i , 2.5l are a bit gutless in a 5 series .

i have a project 535i 5spd if interested . good mech, but body is rough , have replacement panels in same colour .

about half your budget

535i 5spd sounds pretty fun but how much of a project is it?

pics would be great.

I would prefer to move on from E30s though, and I want power so 2.5l is what I'm mostly after

could be interested. I'm not in a hurry to buy though so i will wait and see what else comes along.

Pics can be sent to [email protected]

cheers.

Its been such a long time since my last visit to bimmersport but I am back because i recently just sold the 318i e30. Now I'm looking to spend around $4500 on the next car, preferably another BMW so if any one has something they want sold around that price, let me know.

I'm after something tidy, most likely an E34 525i, could go E36 but want at least a 2.5l or maybe a tidy modified E30.

just post a pic and description...

Cheers
