BMW 323I SE Automatic (E36) 1997

[Peachy]

So i was gutted that my lude died as everyone knows (i think)

Anyway i picked myself up this classic beast and will run it untill i pick up another lude in the future. Will probably run this for 2-3 years and save for a fab lude.

Anyway here she is-My new pride and joy! A real Classic!







Picked it up quite quite cheap. What do you guys think, if indeed you like BMW's that is?

I used to have an E30 323, it was a joy to drive. They are very good cars BMW's.

So very smooth to drive!

Sorry to hear about your 'lude mate - what happened?
That bimmer looks awsome though! I did the same got myself a 318ti (E36) while I try and get my 'lude back on the road..
Had it just over a year now, it's a great little car (the TI is a compact!) and a brilliant daily.
Just make sure you do get another 'lude, and don't get lost in German engineering instead!

I will deffo be back in a lude, mark my words!

My engine head gasket split and blown, with a cracked engine wall too- Still very disapointed about it all, but this new purchase helps a bit i surpose.

jobby man..
Not tempted with an engine transplant?
There are plenty of 2.2 vtec motors kicking about...

Considered a new engine, and if i had my way i would have brought one-Was very close to buying one from a fellow ludegeneration member (thanks to that person and very sorry it didnt happen), but i didnt have the funds. Even though it would all together been a tiny bit cheaper to do than buy the BMW, my oldman (bless him) helped me out for a older car but he wouldnt help me out with funds to buy a new engine and get it installed. So this came up and he was happy to help, the rest is history-Going to be paying him back for the next 2 months or so, but i badly needed a car and we both agreed this was rather nice. Godbless my family they are great!

Will go for a 5th gen lude 2.2 vtec auto when i buy one.

Fair do's the bimmer will see you right in the mean time - tidy looking one too!

I never thought i would say it either, but grown to really like them over the time i have been on here despite saying i would never get one....

I did much the same when mine went into storage. Gotta 328 sport with lsd. Good fun so far. torque is a nice change
