Euro 318i- Intro

[Trucidatio]

Figured that I should introduce myself finally.
I have already met a couple of you guys, and been posting for a couple weeks now. Also have managed to make a complete ass of myself with a terrible thread.


Anyways, my name is Andrew; Im from Mount Vernon, WA. My addiction began a few years ago when I bought a 73' 2002 from my dad. Did some light modification to it, and decided I needed a vehicle that isnt so scary to drive around day to day.

Ended up finding an 85' Euro 318i in an auction in Oregon. This car has been nothing but trouble, and a complete Pain in the ***. But nonetheless I love my car.

So here are a few pics i took last night, after completely detailing the car.

Hot. I've never seen a grey-market 318i before... dealers usually imported 323i's.

Is that brown? Looks sweet!

[kronus]

it's delphin, I think. Can't really tell.


It needs period-correct wheels, though.

[Trucidatio]

its zoblebraun(sp?) metallic. As far as i know an extremely rare color.

I would like a set of period correct wheels, and have had some but I like the look of my car on 17's especially since my car is lowered and still sits way to high.

Another guy named Andrew with a euro-bumpered e30! hah welcome Andrew. I spy 1 rear foglight on the driver's side.

Lets see some pics in the daytime

[Trucidatio]

Thanks Vlad that really means alot to me. Im glad that there are people on here who can really appreciate the finer things.

[Trucidatio]

Went and got a couple daylight pics today.

[kronus]

Weird, I can't tell what color that color is, even with sunlight. It's elusive.

What are your plans for it?

Lovely looking four-door you have there. Sorry to hear that it has been a PITA, but my bet is that a motor swap would make you think differently of the car.

Any weird/rare euro bits on the car?
