emily-mouse 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Hey Everyone, I go by the name of Emily or Ems, came across this "BMW community" on the Performance Car website. Hmmm...I live in Tauranga, am probably the youngest chick on here, let's say i'm two years under 18 haha. A few weeks ago I made a purchase of a 1992 318i off a dude Paul from Otorohonga, hopefully the attached pictures will show it. It's RED (yay the colour that fades on bemas!), has compressed springs, 18" advanti cromes, blah blah blah, yeah you get the drift. Previously I owned a Honda Integra, owned it for about 4 months, haha got rid of that quick, gotta have class! HOLLA. =] Edited March 4, 2008 by 318mouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emily-mouse 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Haha, gosh guys, it came with the cromes! Nar I love them, anyone my age creams over anything that looks nice and shiny, haha. Haha yeah very glad i upgraded from a Honda, not really a fan of how light they are to drive. Although I did discover going fast+wet road+corner in the bema=sliding games. Since that day I have been driving it like a nana. The appearance makes up for the slowness aiiight. Haha. So uhh...let me guess, the meets are in Auckland yeah?? What's the info on them?

tire 10 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 The meets are all over. While more frequent in Auckland, the quality is best in Wellington. btw I'm your age an I don't "cream" over them. Guess I'm retarded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonylauno1 7 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Welcome, nice to see another convert. I got rid of my Honda too and have not looked back since and never will. The red looks good in the photo, any color will fade or lose it's shine, if you don't cut & polish on a regular basis and yes especially on colors such as red or yellow being the most common ones you see... Great color and wheels on a great car. Looks fantastic. I once drove a very low e46 and it was still very comfortable so I hope this will so low will still be more comfortable than the Honda. This isn't very positive but I just have to add, those rear wheels have a huge camber no doubt the tyres will wear very quickly on the inside. Just watch out during the wet when it wears down, and might pay to correct the camber if you are keeping it long term. Wouldn't know if it is possible let alone how.
