My first oldsql BMW

in #cars7 years ago

The story begins in my hometown, where WAS a track for drifting. I was about 12yo when i first time saw drifting races. You would hear the tires sqeekin across the whole town and u knew when to go watch it. My father was a fan too. He wanted that rear-wheel drive, he wanted a BMW! Well maybe, cos there were only BMWs drifting. Maybe. He was thinking about buying a 3-series. Luckly, some relative, who was a mechanic, offered him 95' 318iS/4 from first owner. He didnt think much. He took it! I think it was 2007.
Time flew, lots of great times, trips. I was so proud when we got that BMW! Mom didnt like it. Typical lol.
The car was in use till 2012. Mom wanted to get rid of the car. But dad insisted to keep it for meh. I didnt have a drivers licence. I didnt have time and money to do it. At time, i was studying music (guitar) and pharmacy. Dad once had enough and said that he would sold the car. I didnt want him to sell it. I really tried doing direvers licence ASAP.

So yeah it was 2015 when got the licence and my first car. And this was my first trip!

This car is a classic. Dad got it with 80.000 km in 2008. I started from 120k km. The car has sporty feeling and a lots of space. Ultimate driving machine!
Here are some specs:
Engine displacement: 1796ccm
Power: 140hp
Torque: 175 Nm/4500 rpm
Top speed: ~200kmh (meh), 213kmh
0-100: ~9.5-10 sec, depends on maintenance

Want to know more? NO? OKAY :(

Here are some recent pics of the car.

Sort:  

Why not. E36 is by theory the most true to its core vehicle. While lacking the straightsix, on the other hand, 318is is the best from the 4-cyl models. Suggest to lower it and source M-Tech, that should not be costly.

lowering is in my plan! But i wont do the Mtech. Maybe if i hit smth or break the bumper(or my gf who is currently using my car, most likely). Then, I'll do Mtech look or classe II. Its pointless to me at the moment. haha
I was thinking about good coilovers.
