JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Hey all its just little old me, Purchased my beemer only a few days ago and its my first one but i have always wanted one. Its a 1996 323i with the M sport body kit on it or so i have been told. For me its like driving luxury comapred to what i used to drive but i won't go into that as its long gone now so its just me and my beemer from now on , Oh and if u really must better throw the missus in there as well , Anyway here are some pics of my new pride and joy i know there are probably thousands of them around but this ones mine and thats what makes her so special to me.

Mark 178 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 Tidy car mate... we'll have to organise another Chch meet sometime soon to welcome you to the fray. Your wheels appear to be missing the BMW logo sticker on the centre caps. Some new ones would smarten the wheels up nicely. Welcome. Cheers, Mark.

Apex 693 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 Nice one, welcome to Bimmersport mate. One piece of what I hope you take as constructive input, loose the M-Badge or re place it. Looks to be in the middle of nowhere also lose the Japanese licence plate holder! These two simple things would have the rear end looking a lot smoother.

bravo 34 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 I just cut out the metal sticky out bits, Worked Sweet Or re-drill the nember plate, and use the screws for the holder direct on the plate itself. Mine are held on with 3m double sided trim tape so that I din't have to drill them, and so the rear doesn't vibrate from the sub. Either way, nothing annoys me more than following a really mint beamer on the motorway with sweet kit, wheels and light upgrades and a goddam jap plate holder!

Yuen 16 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 Or re-drill the nember plate, and use the screws for the holder direct on the plate itself. +1. That's exactly what I did. Congrats presso, she's a beaut. Is it Montreal Blue? As mentioned - remove the ///M, it's aftermarket and in the wrong position. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
