    5 good reasons continued

    Shit I should come look more often. Dunno why it’s been closed but here is my 2c after all the comments that have been passed. I bought my car 4 years ago from a family friend that had it from new. It had seen every service at the dealers. After I took hold of it I started having the servicing done by my mechanic Gunter, who is retired now but still works on a few cars. He used to be one of the chief mechanics and R&D engineers back at BMW back in the days when the e30 was in production. He will only service your BMW if it’s spotless and charges twice as much as the dealers, but his knowledge and attention to details is worth the price.
    The problem came in when my auto box started to give shit. Neither he nor the dealers have the equipment to work on it. So that meant taking it to a not so great gearbox shop. After that it was all downhill. Anyways I’m not saying it’s the cars fault, yes if I was a little more aware I could have probably avoided it but hey I fucked up. And yes I know it’s not an awesome 333i or 325is but when I got it I was a broke ass student and it was the best I could do at the time.
    Anyways my crappy camera phone probably made it look worse that it already is. Anyways here are some pics of the car before it was smashed so you can see even though its brown it was not a complete piece of shit.
    And BTW thanks to everyone that given me advice and helped me on the forum.
    P.S. And for the comments on the tires, I have only ever used Pirelli P6000's on stock wheels, and they were and still are in good nick.
    P.P.S. In South Africa we have RHD cars so the goof ball in the passenger is me removing the sound system. Ive also added better picture of me so you can show your girlfriend.

    Somebody uses way too much Armor All - on their car, and their hair.

    BTW, why was the passenger side door out of alignment? Prior wreck???

        Yeah it was a little out after it was resprayed. Just needed adjustment. We dont have Armour all in SA. I ised to use a silicon based anti UV stuff. Was sticky when you put it on but absorbed overnight. BTW what is your car waiting for?

                  If you were a regular member here, you'd know I'm still waiting on Scott . . .

                  And please, dear God, take that second picture down. Looks like an addled junkie just woke up from a 3 day bender.

                        Why are you posting pictures of yourself...to compare your looks to your totaled car?

                        *Had to do it*

                          True, the car was very clean. Too bad it was a slush box and even worse that you wrecked it.

                          You're still ugly.;)

                              Do all non german cars have that seatbelt thingie in the middle of the dash? And its funny that the hood release remained in the same spot.

                              By the way...... South Africa is far from deepest and darkest I'm sure. We've got people from all walks of life in the Army and S.A. is one of em..... Might wanna invest in a haircut before your next photoshoot Hans.
