Looks cool. A damn site better car than a nova :)

[tom_beverley]

Looks lovely that, can't beat a nice shiny black car! :)

[ANDYRACER]

The most important question is, has it got a locked diff? :D

[Rickyb]

looks nice mate does that mean your selling 1 of your vaux to me :p lol

[AlexW]

When you buying your next one then? looks like you need two of each lol lol lol

[shy witness]

reallly nice looking motor mate............especially in black




appart from them silly looking headlights right enough.

personally i'd ditch them................and leave them on a local halfords doorstep with a free donations lable attached.......yuk.

would look far better with originals and clear indicators.

but each to theyre own thing i guess.

loads rwd action on teh horizon then haha..........super

[Rich]

do the indicators work? lol

[TIDGE]

what you mean sorry car looks great but leather need a bit of tlc tho
give it some euro rims and do not rude boy it

[L33 LEG]

im not too keen on the lights aswell, iv got some standards to put on it. il see if il get used to the angels or not.

and i know the leather needs a clean, il try and sort that out this week, even tho itl never be mint.

not selling my novas sorry :p

thanks for the comments guys, so happy iv finally got a car i can just relax in. il still my novas tho for messing around in :thumb: cant wait to get my reg on tho and get the thing on the road :D

[L33 LEG]

who on here knows about transferring plates? im still waiting for the old owner to get a logbook, i know i can use the v5c/2 form and iv recieved my v778 form to say the reg is on retention, am i right in saying all i need to do is go down to dvla with those, the tax disc and mot? or do i need insurance aswell?

im also wanting to spray my skirts and mirrors still, got a quote off £100 but its a bit too much tbh, who sprays in the northwest?

:)

[Dod]

I like it aside from the head lights and whoever blended the rear difuser to the bumper wants ****ing shot. Great car but a few words of wisdome for this, and I dont care what anyone says, be careful in it. They are unpredicatble and easily lost. You could do the exact same thig at the exact same spot and have duplicated your move 100 times, but there'll always be one time she kicks a little further, very fast and very violently.

I learned this in my 530 Drifter.

Respect the RWD.

[L33 LEG]

ye im going to take it very careful for a bit, i still havnt driven it and have never driven a rwd car, let alone a 2.5 Lol. im not silly on the roads tho and will only push it harder once i know im ready to do so and have got to known the car alot more :)

we got the lights all working last night and tbh, even tho i was unsure about them at first, i actually like them now. hopefully theyl grow on people, i can always put the standards in tho when i want to. i also agree with the rear bumper, itl only bug me tho if people notice it and point it out :)

i got some fresh plates last week aswell, looks so much better already, lets see how many days it takes for the cops to fine me tho lol :(

[marcus23]

deffos upgrade the suspension on it, the body roll in these are unreal !

i had one for a while when i was fixing up my sx and just used it as a drifter but there was way 2 much understeer and bodyroll !

[Graeme]

Lovely car mate but the headlights don't float my boat

[L33 LEG]

it feels fine as it is tbh, im not planning on drifting the thing lol i just want a comfortable cruiser, so stiffening the shocks is not really what im wanting :) i have my nova for being uncomfortable Lol

[peester]

top poser's car.. makes u look well off dont it, lol..
ull still need ur dose of nova/corsa -ness tho i think for sheer thrashability..

[dan16v]

look nice! id ditch the headlights as has been said, and bin the tints unless you like the drug dealer looklol

[L33 LEG]

i like the tints, im even going to get the rear one done asap sorry Lol. had a saxo years ago with tints all round and it was lovely inside with it being so dark, so im wanting them because of that really, not of how it looks from the outside.

dont worry peester, il be driving my novas still, probably more than zee bimmer.

[lj]

dude... i got one to 2weeks ago!

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a256/leezarins/leesbmw004.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a256/leezarins/leesbmw002.jpg

plans are to drop it 30-40 mm gt front splitter and rear bumper spats!

its a 328 sport with de cat and s/s... m3 wheels and vadar leather like yours! its having 325 throttle bodie and inlet manifold and chip to make 230bhp!

[L33 LEG]

thats very nice, mines also got a de cat and apparantly has a larger throttle, sounds ace tho :D also got a quickshift which will probs take a while to get used to! think im only running 170ish tho :( nevermind.

get it dropped 40mm and itl be spot on!

[L33 LEG]

[Shaun]

nice mate. was considering one of these myself a while ago :)

[L33 LEG]

cheers, even without driving it i can recommend anybody getting one. so much car for the money imo and just by sitting in it u know ur going to have a good time driving the thing. i love it and cant wait to get my reg on it so i can go out in it!

[marcus23]

it is a really nice car ! good clean example ! how much did you pay for it ?

[L33 LEG]

paid 2.3k, may of been slightly more than what they go for but i know the car and know its spotless and is worth paying the extra, especially with the parts it has. and if and when it does break, the guy i bought it off will be more than happy to help me fix it :)

[mowgli]

I can see one obvious fault that needs rectifying at the bmw dealership.
THE FOG LIGHTS AREN'T ON

do the indicators work???????

[loggyboy]

Its ok the illegal plate makes up for the lack of fogs.

[L33 LEG]

i know, im going to be the first bm driver not to drive with the fogs on. a bulb has actually gone on one of them and i probably wont bother to fix it :)

and yes, the indicators work...

[L33 LEG]

Its ok the illegal plate makes up for the lack of fogs.

lol true :(

[lj]

196 standard urs i think.... 2.8 and 2.5 share the same block...just inlets, manifolds and final druive are drifferent so i'm lead to think!

u got lsd?

[draper]

are you a pimp ?

[L33 LEG]

not sure what its got yet Lol.

and no, im not a pimp :)

[mowgli]

have you got any, you know, gear???

[L33 LEG]

what u after? :wtf:

[Matt GTE]

Looks good, not a fan of the tints though. I'm going to look at a '98 328i that a mate is selling tomorrow.


196 standard urs i think.... 2.8 and 2.5 share the same block...just inlets, manifolds and final druive are drifferent so i'm lead to think!
325 is 192bhp (M50 - iron block), 328 is 193bhp (M52 - alloy block) same bore afaik but longer stroke and more torque.

[Dave.]

looks very nice matey, loving the wheels! :thumb:

[L33 LEG]

thanks for the reply. im keeping the tints tho, i like them :)

[L33 LEG]

oh and iv given the interior a clean today, used some vanish (only thing i had) and its come out alright actually, a lot lot better than before!

[white2lSR]

loose the rear tints

[ade]

like it - thats some small dealership you got going there matey!

lol

[L33 LEG]

loose the rear tints

no, its my car :wtf:

ade - lol my parents have been away for 3 months and its been like a scrapyard, i had 6 cars there a bit ago. as of from this morning tho im back down to my normal 3. had to tidy things up a bit before they come home next week :(

[Dod]

ade - lol my parents have been away for 3 months


Like away as in "away"? What'd they get done for?

[L33 LEG]

if i meant it that way, you seriously think id of said it lol

away as in on holiday :)

[Matt GTE]

I'm going to look at a '98 328i that a mate is selling tomorrow.
Well I went to see it and will be having it although it won't be for a few weeks.

The pics don't really do it justice, looks a lot better in the metal. Alloys are genuine Alpinas not replicas :p.

[L33 LEG]

looks very nice that, bet it shifts aswell Lol.

is that dash leather? reason im asking is because my mate has bought a 325 and it has full leather and half of the dash is trimmed aswell along with all the centre console and everything really, needs to know if it was a standard trim or aftermarket for when he sells it :) actually looking at it again it looks plastic, nevermind!

[Matt GTE]

Thanks :D. It goes quite well, it's no rocket ship though but that's not what I was after. I'd say it's on a par with my Vectra GSi as far as performance is concerned to be honest but it's a MUCH better car. Dash is plastic yes.

[Lynsey]

My friend got this a couple of months back, he loves it but still misses his 2.0 8v Nova and 2.1XE Cav SRi. 325i Sport, I love it :p

[Lynsey]

It has a tasty carbon bonnet which looks fab with his black paint and weighs feck all. Sorry for the crap phone pics! It was also dusk which doesn't help lol

[Matt GTE]

Mmmmm, E30 :p. My Dad has a 320i convertible which I keep trying to get him to sell to me but he's not having any of it lol. I'm keeping my Nova, Vectra is going though.

[L33 LEG]

my next car will probably be an e30 cab, prob be a 325 so has all the kit and that.

anyway, iv attempted to spray my m3 mirrors today, going to laquer them later on and see how theyv come out. probs wont be good enuf to put them on the car but it was worth a try. if they do come out alright il attempt spraying the skirts :)

[Dod]

E30s are tempramental scrap that hate abuse. ****ty old rot boxes. Believe me, I had enough of them.

[L33 LEG]

maybe so, but they are cool as fcuk!

just had a look at my mirros and theyre too dull :( looks like im going to have to fork out and get someone to spray them! oh well

[Nova_Loon]

Has it got a locked diff
