2003 C230K Sport Coupe
New Here...Let me introduce myself
Hey guys! I just wanted to drop a line saying hello and to give a little information about myself. I was recently given a 2003 C230K sport coupe in Alabaster White, Charcoal interior and C7 sport wheels due to an accident I was involved in about 3 weeks ago. I had a mint condition 1991 BMW E30 (318is) that was highly modded. My baby was lowered, custom exhaust, rims, sound, etc. About 3 weeks prior to the accident I swapped my original M42 engine for a more potent 1995 E36 M3 engine. To say the the absolute least it hauled *** and it was a blast to drive. B/C of the accident I am here and loving the new car as much as the last. So, on that note I would like to say hello and I hope I enjoy my stay here on the forums. Here are some pics of my BMW about a day after the swap and prior to the "iS" lip.

Thanks again for all the responses of welcome. Its great to be here.
Bob - The car was a monster. Too bad I had it for a short time.
tberry - The accident involved 3 drivers including myself and it wasnt my fault. I just thank God I wasnt injured. My parents have always owned MBs and refused to buy another BMW b/c of their track record of being problem cars. No arguement from me when they decided to buy a C230K.

damn dude, sorry about the E30, man!...Welcome to the board btw.
so you had swapped the M42 for the M52 3 liter M-engine??...Sweet, that must have hauled ***...
post some picture of your new C230k. how u got the car is not important. The point is the you got the car, so enjoy it like everyone of us. I think most Asian parents will buy cars for their kid, so no biggie. i'm proud to say that my parents got me my car for my 20th b-day. Drive safe.
