    I is got a Bimmer...

    Well, the S14a has gone after 4 years

    I'm now piling cash into my RB26 Sileighty but thought I'd buy a run around.

    I give you..............a 1998 BMW 323i SE Saloon with just about FSH, leather, electric everything (except seats)(and it all works ), digital climate control....

    2.5 straight 6 24 valve engine sounds like it did in 1998, 127,000 miles.

    £500!!!!! Bargain!

    The guy threw in the Tom Tom and a nice Sony CD headunit with Aux. input in the front!

    It has a few key marks and a couple of dents but otherwise it's great. No MOT when I bought it and it had stood for a year. I put it through an MOT and it passed with flying colours! Only advsiory was front pads.

    Some pics:






    It needs a good clean but I'm pretty chuffed otherwise.

    The plan is not to spend any money on it

    That hasn't gone well TBH

    I've got a few bits together already, all on a tight budget but should make it a bit more interesting. Watch this space!

    Don't spend any money on it.. or your levels will become even greater..

    As it's just a runaround, I will let both you and Guy off for buying Beemers..

    I'm not old enough for a sensible car yet.. I figure maybe in about 30 years time when I'm retired Though I kind of like the idea of being in my 60's and ragging about in a noisy old Nissan (if it's still working.. which I doubt it.. lol)

    Dave would be worried if I was nice to him! You should see the abuse he gives me!

    Just because you can't but coilovers for a datsun for £150 Most of the E36 forum run them and say they have lasted 10,000+ miles, plus you get a 2 year warranty if they blow!

    Its whats going on my bimmer for the weekender

    That's like saying "I've just caught herpes, but all of these other people say it's ok to live with so it's fine!"

    Maybe so... but when it comes down to it, you still have herpes
