Thread: Vette's 1997 328i Updated 12/31/11 Nearly finished

No thanks spartan, there was some on the car when I got it. Took them off since MO requires front plates

So. I sold her a month ago. Just thought you ought to know.

I knew!

lame

I'll buy another e36 someday, but it'll definitely be a 5 speed. That thing converted me though, I love german engineering.

Right? My bro bought a German car after he hit a deer with his GP. We're both like.."this thing is so simple"

I don't know about simple. But the way they design it and manufacture just sorta makes sense. More so than other cars I've seen. But some stuff they overthink to the point of "well here's one more part that can go wrong"

I thought I spotted this on Craigslist a while back

Nothing is perfect. And you're right about those rear strut tower failures, but i think they're more common on the m3 (got a friend who just dealt with that issue). I still had driveshaft vibration from bad u-joint, my secondary air pump was throwing a code, the window frame sliders kept breaking, active stability control was tripping a light, but that's all common stuff. Stuff I didn't mind fixing, but just don't have time until next summer, so I figured I'd let someone else deal with it now and I'll get what I really want next year.

Definitely. After DDing the jeep for so long, anytime I switched back to the bmw I didn't know what to do with my hand and foot. Too boring.

See your on my level now...

Love the germans and love the stick

So then it'd be an M5, not an M3.

Right...which means you're either talking E34 or E39
