Hi,

Joined a couple of days ago, have browsed the site before though. My mate introduced me to the site, he is on here with a Cerbera 4.5.

I bought this earlier this month, but getting insurance this weekend, as it drops by about £300 once I'm 19 on saturday. Have driven it as the seller had demonstration insurance but not since, so I'm excited!

94 E36 320i Coupe, I love it! Reckon it must have had a respray at some point in its life, either that or its been extremely well looked after, as the bodywork is absolutely stunning. First car I've had with no dents, scratches, rust bubbles etc!

Best pics I got at the moment, Gonna get the Meguiar's out next sunny day and get it gleaming!





Cheers,
Matt

Very nice car, great colour and looks great on OEM BMW wheels.

I would be tempted to take off the tinted back windows and "un-M" the wing mirrors to get that bone stock look.

I like it but are these as quick as Mondeo TDCi's?

I know someone called Nick and he said his Dads Mondeo kicks BMW's arse?



This is all a joke aimed at nickthetrumpetmonkey, i like your car.

nice car smile

love BMWs of that vintage.

agree about the mirrors and tints.

also if i were you id be tempted to get some larger wheels, still OEM BMW, that should make it look the dogs smile

Might put different wheels on at some point but like the ones it's wearing for now. I like the tints and mirrors too so they're staying biggrin Rear windscreen is tinted though which is irritating, might see if I can take it off.

Tried to register on e36coupe.com but it didn't work. will do it again.

Cheers
