Vas Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hello everyone! Decided to share what im driving nowdays . Shes a 1997 328i Convertible , bought her as a spares or repair really cheap, luckily turned out to be a flat batery , jump started her an voila she started . Unmarked body , no rust , all the electrics work including the roof . This was when i bought her , the only thing i changed her is the wheels . She came with standard 16" E36 alloys so swapped them for some 17" style 32s Then sadly had a little incident while trying to drift it . The result was bend suspension arm , damaged wing and nose panel . First i thought its not worth fixing it so i was gonna scrap or sell her for spares but then felt sorry for her and repaired it . This is what she looks like now : E46_Coupe, mit and momo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you in 6 months for the next thread I think it was this E36 that he had stolen from him but he found it again and he was going to sell it to ngy but decided to keep it instead.

ngy Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 No No, I wanted to buy it and then it was stolen and recovered so I went off it. No hidden stories at all. It looks well, I wanted to put style 32s on mine (titan silver) but I dont want to copy now! lol mit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E46_Coupe Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) I'm not a fan of convertibles at all, but this one really looks good! I know it must be good, because I'm difficult to impress! Makes me want one! Edited September 8, 2013 by E46_Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
