[puts flame suit on]

I've been looking for a 300CE forever, just can't find any for sale up here, found an 88 couple weeks ago but it was a piece of ****. Anyhow today I found a 93 BMW 325is, 5 speed, 158 000 k's on it. Got it for too good of a deal, hopefully I'll find a 300CE soon and get rid of this blasphemy.

Owned same BMW. Bought new. Nice blend of comfort and handling. Engine/transmission good combination. Sold it to my brother in law. Between the 2 of us owned car for 14 years. Good reliability few repairs.

i really want an e36 too, but a sedan, i prefer the shape for some reason. i would love to have an m3, but realistically i would try to get a 325i/328i 5-speed to drive to work every day.. maybe in a couple of years, when the recession is over, eh?
color-match those black lower moldings, it will look hot

it's a factory m3 replica, not an aftermarket one that will scrape everything... get it man! it won't be much lower if at all to what you have now...
my brother has an e39, i feel like ***** when i help him look for mods online, there are so many options for BMW's. i want my next car to be an e36 or e34, i think...

Are you, perchance, in Edmonton??? Judging by the background in your photo.

Heavy concentration of well-cared for, low km, MBs in Vancouver, more specifically, Richmond.

Good luck in your search. I understand your situation, was tempted by previous generation 740, before I found my 500E.

I suggest everyone read this cautionary thread and then we should delete it - don't want to give the young Bimmer hooligans any more ammunition...

OH, well HAKK403 drives an E320 in Calgary, maybe he has connections...

We can keep an eye out for you here.

If you get a W124 soon, there are those in Edmonton and Alberta thinking of a gtg in Banff or the Icefields Parkway in the near future...

Good luck!

Cool car. It just need a little TLC for the skirts and the picture is too small to see the rest. Be careful on those bimmer forums because they are riddled with 16-20 year old kids ricing out their cars and many of them have the e36 so I'm just letting you know... Don't rice out your car!

LOL no way. I had a eg civic hatch before and I didn't rice it out, no way in hell I'll rice this thing out. The only plans I got for it are:

color match my skirts and mouldings,
halo headlights and a eyelid,
red/clear tail lights, or just paint my stock ones all red
cd or DVD player and maybe subs
light tint all around

All I can think of right now, I don't think any of those qualify as rice
