    My New (to me) 1991 DS 318IS

    I've been on the site now for a little while now but haven't really had the time to post any pics so...

    I bought it May '11. I was driving by a European Auto shop and almost stopped the car in the road lol. Went back and looked at it and honestly I knew that I was going to buy it immediately even though it was dusty as hell! Really lucky - maintenance was done routinely and many stock parts replaced OEM and it's all original. Unfortunately, i'm deployed and it's stored and i really miss driving it. But i'm almost done!

    on to the pics

    Wow your paint is in really good shape, and not faded like most DS owners.
    Looks great, and LOVE the e39. More pics of it please!

      the way it is now took quite a bit of clay bar and cleaner wax and it still needs some more attention, but i do appreciate it!

          Love the interior. Looks like you can eat off the floor.

              Those are my favorite wheels for the e39. Both cars are very clean. Your e30 looks exactly like mine.

                          I feel your pain... Welcome to the wonderful world of M42 ownership, it's a great place to be :) DS is certainly the best color too. The E39 looks awesome on the RD wheels, time to find a matching set for the E30!

                            So minty!! Nice find and welcome.

                            Some advice for all new owners. Do not let a man named Vlad touch your car.

                            E39 is sick, needs more tire tho but whatever tickles your pickle. :D
                            SO MUCH MORE TO DO!!
