My new Ride
 
Well I finally broke down and got a BMW. It's a new brand for me, but one I've been thinking about for awhile. '95 325, s52 M motor, 5spd. lowered, full M interior. It was a blast to drive back home; plenty of power at 75MPH to pass without shifting, great mileage, 27MPG, and a sweet sound. Don"t fret, I've still got a old 914 tucked away for the future that needs work, but this is going to be my DD. I'l let you know how it compares to the old 911. Flame on.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1247972862.jpg

Looks nice. Where does the checkered flag pattern in the hood reflection come from?

strupgolf 07-18-2009 07:18 PM

It's a decal, very light, in dark gray.

No flame here...nice looking car!

Looks nice. The M3s are sweet (basically what that one is now?). Enjoy.

Looks like a sweet ride to me!

They had factory lightweight cars that came with that decal. I like the "ghost" effect with yours.

Nice car. You won't be disappointed. Wayne Dempsey wrote a book for these as well. You should pick it up.

Thanks guys. Look at the front plate; read it backwards, my daughter had to tell me what it said. Kind of fun.

Cool! Oh, the car is, too. ;)

Nice ride!

Prepare for the slippery slope. Its no different with beemers! you can start on the front bumper by adding the brake cooling ducts and fogs that the Ms have..! ;)

nice ride!

Yeah, like the other guys said - a really nice looking car.

I'm no expert on BMWs (but a close mate is and he loves them) but the usual story, don't thrash 'em when they're are cold and do lots of oil changes.

Rick V 07-20-2009 02:42 AM

When they added that front bumper cover they left out the brake ducts.
Nice car, can't go wrong with en E36
