My newen, E36 325i - Drifting forum

griffo20022 · 19-05-2008, 23:23

Well the Volvo went last night and tonight I picked up my new car, 1994 BMW 325i SE I had been watching it on ebay since Saturday, now I had the money to play with I decided to give the guy a call and see what kinda money he was asking for. Liked what I heard and my gf (as awsome as she is

) took me down with my dad to Nuneaton to go see it (just by the Long Shoot pub by you Topi me' lad!)

Got there checked it all over and was cool with it, 11months MOT but no Tax so i'm gonna tax her tomorrow

Heres a couple of pics I grabbed in the dark

Will get more the weekend when I clean her n stuff, pretty much standard bar the Alpina rims, theres only 3 centre caps so the guy took all of them off, but I do have the 3 that remain. I'm really impressed with how it goes and how sweet it cruises!

Probably won't get her to a skidding day now until after Australia in August, before then will just be tidying up little odds n sods, she does have a couple of lil' niggles which are no biggy

Locks are a bit random lol although it seems like a few BMW's of this sort of era are the same? If anybody has info on it would greatly appreciate it! Bit of bubbling around a couple of the arches, driver doorcard needs clips around the bottom to hold it on, small hole in one of the headlights and thats it really? Basically the guy had bought a new car and this was now surplus to requirements, he'd owned it since 1995! Quick spec upto yet is as follows

*1994 325I SE in Black
*150,000 miles
*Alpina rims with pretty fresh rubber
*Engine immobiliser
*Cream leather interior

Paid £500 for her and dont feel like i've been done over one little bit!!!

One thing I do like about it is the number plate saying 325 heh heh!

£500? Very nice buy

Just down the road from me too when I'm back in the Midlands. Look forward to see some progress with it.

topi · 19-05-2008, 23:26

ren_juanjo · 20-05-2008, 09:20

stubb · 20-05-2008, 11:24

Maximus Driftus · 20-05-2008, 12:44

what a change - from ovlov to this -it's not posh... it's privileged!!!

chunk · 20-05-2008, 12:49

Good stuff man, muchos rapeage

griffo20022 · 20-05-2008, 19:50

Thanks guys, yer I do feel like I got a real bargain out of it, it's f*cking awsome for what I paid at least lol!

Thought i'd take a couple of day piccies, gonna give it a proper clean the weekend! I think the Alpina wheels are copies as the centre caps are plastic (not that im bothered) wouldnt mind getting one more cap so I have a full set though I think they look good with em on.

Oli, I wish that £500 could go towards making a black version of Jodie lol, gotta use it for 6 months tax and a new headunit for some chooooonage! Will still have about £200 spare though so cheap coilies may be on order soon

mav · 20-05-2008, 20:28

Nice car mate

The wheels are DEFINATELY replica.

Ed · 20-05-2008, 20:39

Nice, welcome to E36 ownerage

I've only had mine a couple of weeks, but its nice to have semi decent power, without shit loads of noise (will probably get called gay for that, but fuck it)

£500 is a damn good price too

Dex · 20-05-2008, 20:40

yup copy

Real alpina's have a hollow spoke and the air valve thing in the centre

griffo20022 · 20-05-2008, 20:44

Ta' for the confirmation, when I seen the wheel centres and they were plastic with BMW badges in I had half an idea they would be, like I say im not bothered

They look alright so wether there genuine or not means nothing! Definately want a 4th centre cap to put em back on though!

Well the car is going to be taxed tomorrow and road legal providing my insurance cert comes through then i'll picking up my new headunit so me's got some banging choons init! I love the car so much though it's awsome haha! My dad was getting when the guy agreed to £500 haha!

I really wanna roll the arches but dont want the wheels to look anymore weak sauce on the offset than they already are, keep nagging my mate to sell me his wheels off his 5 series lol!

oli · 20-05-2008, 21:04

dude- these cars rock. I'm still happy with mine ...as for the money its bob on.

get Huw's e34 rims

Simon (japsi) put some 195 tyres on a pair of mine and they sit really really well on the back of mine. so would look sweet on yours once slammed

griffo20022 · 20-05-2008, 21:08

There my mates wheels I want so bad lol!
