Default Bought a new car... finally

** Scroll down for pics**

Well it took me about a month and a half to decide what I wanted, but I finally bought a new car since mine was stolen (see link) https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...&topic=68129.0

I got a '95 BMW 325i. It's an inline 6, DOHC, 10.5:1 compression engine... a little under 200hp. Oh and rear-wheel drive

The good thing is I didn't have to take out a loan or anything, I just paid the guy cash from part of my insurance payout plus a little I had saved... I'll post up some pics when I get a chance.

They only gave me like $3,700 and wanted $1000 bucks to buy it back... but since there was more than $2700 worth of parts/work to be done just to bring it to stock running condition, I said ---- that.


No, I did not buy this car thinking I'm going to pull a lot of puss... I know I will Just kiddin, I just really like the way BMW's drive and it has everything I want in a car... straight engine formation, DOHC, rear-wheel, manual... those are the things I wanted first. Then, I started looking at my price range and it just so happens I got a decent deal on this car.

If it breaks, I'll fix it... but as of now I don't have any problems. BTW, as you can expect there are hardly any forum support for BMW's, let alone a certain model (unlike a million honda sites and a couple good integra specific sites).

Those are cool cars. I almost bought one about a year or so ago, but it was a 4 banger. Any pics of yours?
