hb69s' Car Thread (2/5/11)
A few people have asked me to post some pics of my BMW, so heres a couple.
Its a 325 touring, modification wise its got Spax adjustable suspension and a 318is front splitter. Aside from that its standard. It did have some rubbish k&n on it originally, but it ran rough, so a standard airbox was fitted.
I bought the car off my dad, last year we went to the Nurburgring and Le Mans in it. Many fond memories.
So, a few pics, definately my favourite car ive owned
To add to the fleet i bought this recently

Thats saying something
Before i went to the Nurburgring i would have agreed with you. After my first visit, watching e30 325's (saloon 2 & 4 door and tourings) pretty much destroying anything around i wanted one. I love the shape of them, more so than the saloon, they are cheaper to buy. Also, for some reason, mine hasnt got any rust Most of them seem to
Couple of other tourings
James-Its nice actually, relaxing, quick, handles ok.Not great on fuel though, maybe 30mpg on a long run Sounds amazing though
Nick Burman-For the first month or so i owned it I went around with a spade in the boot.Its now in the shed though

That looks amazing. Probably wouldnt want to change gear much though.
Lol, yes all BMW's are rwd. Except the X models, but they are crap, so no one cares about them.
I am actually tempted to lower it some
