New BMW Owner

Teshi · 10-15-2009, 02:59 AM

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this topic.

For the people who know me on this forum an others, I have been driving non BMW cars for nearly 5 years and felt like the time was right to make the move.

So after a search with a few friends, I came across a 10 year old e36 318IS. After some work to get it road running, its finally on the road and managed to get a few pictures.

My Clio which I will miss vs the new motor

The lights need to be changed and the kidneys will also be changed later but glad it is now running.

Just want to thank everyone for their seduction and hopefully be able to get proper pics this weekend.

nice!

Citizen Z · 10-15-2009, 10:23 AM

Pretty. I consider the E36's a little under loved. Certainly better than the current flame surfacing style, IMHO.

Teshi · 10-16-2009, 02:25 AM

Thanks all. Well I feel in love with the e46 series and from there my interest grew but my budget couldnt cater for a 330 so I had a look at a few other models.

The e36 fit the bill straight away once I found the right one.

As much as I like the e90/92 range, I cant see me getting one at the moment unless I look at finance. Maybe in the next few years.

Real clean, post some more pics.

Teshi · 10-19-2009, 09:43 AM

As requested, took a few more pics today.

Not much clearance

Some interior shots of the vaders. Cream and alcantara trimmed.

Citizen Z · 10-19-2009, 12:42 PM

Wow, absolutely perfect interior. How many days a week does it look that good?

Scorpion · 10-19-2009, 12:47 PM

Damn that's real clean, interior really is perfect lol.

Teshi · 10-20-2009, 05:57 AM

Good to know the car has been received well. Should be a nice project to work on.
