misgvous_1 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) About a month ago I Put my 318i in for a service and received less than diserable news that she was not in good shape. So after 4 years of ownership I decided it was time to upgrade. After quite search I decided I wanted to head to the other end of the 3 scale and would look at 328s. Here are a couple of images of my new car. Edited September 10, 2007 by misgvous_1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't sure if that style would suit the E36s but looking at some of the modified e36s in the uk I think they will look hot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

misgvous_1 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2007 Cheers for the comments guys. I realised in my tired state and rush to get images up i didn't give any specs of the car. The car is a 1996 328i motorsport coupe 100xxxkms Manual Full dark red leather sport interior Absolute stock apart from a sony headunit and 35% tints I can't wait to have to drive somewhere now. I'm loving every moment in this car and can't wait to personalise it. Cheers Jamie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nath 129 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Perfect choice- i bet theres nothing wrong with it, right? And perfect history? That was Jill the service advisor's car, then her son Jared's, who was the asst. foreman at JCBMW yes? I love those wheels, they look fine for now man. just dont touch them with acid!

misgvous_1 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 CinaH - It set me back 12 grand. Which I'm pretty happy with. Hybrid - When it comes time to get the wheels and suspension modifications I think I'll source all the tasty bits through the same people that import those wheels. Which i think is H&R equipment. Nath - Yes on all acounts. Car was first bought by Jeff Crowe then ended up in Jared's family. Cheers Jamie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers the the comment. The car came with a sony headunit and 10 cd stacker.... But I'm guessing from your comment that there were more prior to sale?

I just got all mine through performalink (works wheels wheels / KW suspension) I'm actually excited for you, nothing better than seeing someone taking a bloody car and tastefully modding it.
