KompressorKev

MadC32

Used to have a BMW 325i.. hehe

FrankW

BenzC32

I still have a 1999 328i.

bverotti

328 here too !
Compared to C32 a boring car

vimzin

Had a 330xi traded it for the C32 but I still have a 745 which most likely will sell for something different soon....

My first BMW was a used 2001 325i coupe I bought it in 2002 paid USD55,000. Not a good experience. The car was not as fast as expected - so it must be badly breakin by previously women owners something.
It was being scratched by street boys three times in two months.
Spent another USD15K to mods.
It was totalled in less than 1.5 year.( just because oil on slippery road, and the model I had was't even come with the Traction control )

theitalianjob

huh? no traction control?

lap

318i and 325ic (was wife's).

PS. I don't think traction contol is that great, especially ours (my $0.02)

s4iscool

99 328i...glady moved to S4

kind of like MB's ESP.....this option was not on the 2001 325i coupe

Ben Liaw

I wouldn't exactly categorize myself as "changed". More like momentarily "distracted".

Previous BMWs included (from most recent)
- 2002 E46 Wagon with S54 M3 engine transplant
- 1995 E36 330ti (3.0L M3 engine in ti)
- 1995 E36 M3 GT International
- 1999 M Coupe
- 1995 E36 M3
- 1995 E36 332ti (3.2L M3 engine in ti)
- 1988 E30 M3
- 1996 E36 M3

I still have the 1999 E46 328 (wife's ride) and the 1998 Audi A4 1.8TQM.

I'm having fun with the C32 at the moment, but may wind up giving this up for my wife and getting back into something with a manual tranny again.

Wait a minute here, Ben's driving a Benz? Geez, and I thought I was one of the few who temporarilly defected to the AMG camp from the BMW lists. I still have my mutt e36 M3 track car (still handles rings around the C55 & stops way better too), but I got rid of the 330i and the other 3 was gone a long time ago.

So are we going to see any Rogue parts for AMG's?

Yup, my car was actually ESS Supercharged 325Ci. I just took it back to stock and traded it in. Just sold all the junk off it. Picked up my 03 C32. I'm loving the power and already looking for more. I purchased the C32 over a E46 M3 as well, just seems more practical to me.

I was surprised when I saw Ben, and Sean from ECIS on here as well. It's great to have such a great group of guys on here. I was hoping for a larger group of AMG people/boards. I really never noticed how expensive the MB stuff was over BMW, but hopefully they'll start to come down soon..

Weird, my 91 had it....maybe the later productions or a higher spec? In any case, BMW's of the era are known to slideout without any suspension and wheel mods, not sure about the later models.

Ben Liaw

We've got some things in the hopper now. I'll keep interested parties posted.

As for Mike, he's not allowed to get ANY of our new parts! :v He still technically owes us an SMG steering wheel retrofit guide for his 325 which we're still waiting for.

doofoo

Pretty much had one all written up.. But it seems I was beat to the punch E46MIT from BimmerForums, then the whole DTM Power crash when we were down for a month, lost a lot of the videos, articles, etc. Still coming back from that. Then the lack of interest in BMW's as a whole, didn't even drive my car.. Drove a damn Scion xB over it.

But yeah.. I do owe you. Hopefully I'll find a way to repay you.

Sorry I put the years wrongly
My first BMW was a used 1992 325i coupe I bought it in 1994 paid USD55,000.

....and my wife is still keeping her 2002 Z3 2.2 Sports Edition.

Darba

Me and my family have been long time bmw owners, I even did an intership in the BMW dealrship (back home in Panama). I have had
97 318ti
99 328ci
parents had
X5
545
525 3x cant remeber the years


I enjoyed both cars. At the moment I am loving my C55 still trying to get used to automatic tranny. Still kinda miss my Cluth. Other than that the car has handled very well so far. I drove boston-nyc in 2:25 and hit the car's max 155mph on a long straightaway. She begs to be driven in the highway.

I cant say I have changed permenantly but for now I am happy with the MB family.

cliverman

Had a 330i (fully race enabled) and totalled it. Tried a G35 for about six months and wasted too much $$ trying to make it what it could never be. Now I'm pretty happy with my C32. Needs a few toys but just not sure which ones.

drewchyi

i currently drive a 98 white m3. 102K miles on it.. still runs great. but, i finally purchased a new black C55. picking it up in 5 more days!!!! HOOORAY!.
I was going to get the E46 M3, but i decided it's time i started driving something other than a BMW. AND the C55 looks so damn cool. i'll post pix as soon as i pick it up.

Hussain

99 E36 M3
01 E39 M5

Now E55 and more

cntlaw

some photos of the Z3 2.2 ( with M3 Sports package )




should I sell it and get the Z4 2.5 or SLK200K ?

PeteyV

Get the SLK....my friend has the Z4 2.5 and its slow. Plus the new SLK body looks so much more agressive than the Z4 and plus the entrior is much better than the Z4 IMO
