Steeo3 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hello gents. I'm Stephen, 19, Born and Living in Dublin, Ireland. I've just bought myself a 2001 318i ( 1.9 4pot ) [emoji2] This is only my second car, I started with a 1999 VW Golf MK4 1.6 4DR. Heres some pics of the two . The old Golf And now the Beemer Car is mechanicly sound, no problems driving with 122K Miles on the clock. A bargain at only 900 eur ( about 1200 usd ) Had some bad acceleration problems when I got it first but the usual MAF was the problem, gave it a clean and now the car sounds and pulls like a dream:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Apart from the gash painted sidewalls it looks a good clean Motor - welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeo3 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hey, thanks for the welcome. What you mean by the sidewalls? The actual side of the car or the off colour mirror cover? If its the mirror colour i just got the cover as it was missing, all thats left is spraypaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeo3 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah i agree, dont like it myself just dont have the money for a decent set of new tyres just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Really? The e60 next to it has them too lol I'm pretty certain Bridgestone Turanza have never come with white lettered side walls in 205/55/16 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 you can remove it by just using a scourer or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeo3 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I see what your saying, maybe he did it himself but the other side the writing is a lot more faded. Ita a bit strange in my opinion xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeo3 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well, just got my BMW scanner today, had over 80 yellow warning errors lol. Did a quick clear and not a single error returned. I also coded the alarm so the siren would souns but no luck, I checkes to see if the siren is there and it looks newish and is plugged in. Anyone got any ideas?
