Hello everybody,
It has been almost a month since the purchase of my 1991 BMW 318i. I decided to start this tread up to share the progress that I make with the car and the great times I share with it. I have enjoyed the limited time i have spent with the car (I attend school in Boston and the car is at home), and plan to start restoring her to her original beauty, as well as tastefully modifying the car for some modern spirited driving.
I decided this car was the right fit for me because of its relatively low miles (151,601), Minimal rust (tow hook/battery tray area and some surface bubbles), spotless interior, and the fact that it has never been tampered with. The car is all original including engine, paint, suspension, ect... Everything. The car is a little rough around the edges cosmetically (as it is over 25 years old now), but runs like a top. It is obvious that the previous owner cared for this car.
As of now I bought the car in Maine for 2500$ from its second owner, and went through the process of getting the car registered and driving it home. Since then I have Changed the oil (Mobil 1 15w-50), replaced the oil filter (BMW), and put on some new wiper blades (rainy ride home).
I have started gathering some parts and will update this tread as i move forward with the car. Here are some pictures of how she sits today:
