    Bought myself a nice x-mas present...

    Well, I just got home from buying a '92 325i M-Tech2 Cabrio with a turbo. The car is lowered on 16" RD 5-spokes, RD springs, RD sways, Bilstein Sport shocks, turbo engine with 500 miles and 7psi boost. I am redoing a lot of the car as it needs help, but it is a great place to start on a car I have wanted for a long time. It is white on white, but I plan to replace the interior with black if I can find it locally. The car also has a hardtop painted gloss black.
    I will get more pics in a few days as it is dark now and I just got home from San Bernadino where I picked it up at.
    Anyhow, this will be a fun project to get my feet wet with turbo-charged cars. I have a lot to learn and I am excited to get started. I will post pics peridocally of my progress on it and all that jazz.
    Later all.

        What is the purpose of this car going to be, just fix it up and resell it?

                    Nice Ryan, can't wait to see what you do with it.

                    I found that guy to be quite shady, were your dealings with him ok?

                      No problems as of yet, he was nice and easy to talk to.
                      I just shot a few pics in the dark of the car so you can see what it looks like a little better than his pics.
                      When I went to test drive the car, the clutch pedal went right to the floor, slave cyl blew the seal and leaked out the fluid. The owner had to run out and grab a spare slave from his dad's shop and put it in, then I could drive it. It needs some work, quite a lot actually, but the price was good and it will be a great project car to play with. I plan to make it my daily driver as it will be my only car other than my M3 pretty quick here... I need to get the running condition sorted ASAP and the suspension right after, then I can worry about details like the interior replacement and whatnot.

                          No, since it is posted on the other forum... $5,500 as is, with hardtop that I now have to drive back out there to pick up...
