Wash Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) So I recently bought a car to fiddle around with and so on. It's an '02 BMW 318 CI. I bought it for £2300 but as spares/repairs because the headgasket needs replacing on it. I'm leaning more towards putting in a reconditioned engine since the current one has done 129,000 miles which isn't too high for a BMW considering they'll go up to 200,000 easily. Currently, looking at it costing about £1800 to buy and fit the engine. Probably going to put in a leather interior too since it currently has a cloth interior, a set of MV2 BMW alloys (google them) and upgrade some of the speakers. It's parked at my sister's house but in the pictures it looks like it's parked in a council estate. The garden is in a pretty bad state since no one really lives there anymore which is why the hedgerows and the grass has grown out so much. Anyway, here's some pics: Edited June 4, 2011 by Wash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Nope, I was limited to something like 4 per post. Also, in case you're wondering, that bodykit is completely factory fitted. It's called the aero kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoops Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) I like the word AERO. I had a Saab 95 AERO. Your car seems in good shape. You should upload your pics here http://www.epicdot.com/forum/album.php Edited June 4, 2011 by Whoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've uploaded a few pictures to an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShimura Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Nice car, Wash! I remember when I first looked for my first car last year and I saw a BMW like this xD But in the end I managed to buy 95 Honda Civic. Nothing fancy, but I grew to like it xD It's perfect when prices of gasoline is rising. And if I'm not mistaken, I've payed about 7000Lt or 8000Lt, which is...about 2000, 2300 Euro? It's pretty cheap, considering that this Civic had some tuning done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Ah.Not a huge fan of the Honda Civic to be honest, though I think the EP2 is awesome. I was going to get a Honda Civic Type-R EP2 but backed out since it has an incredibly firm ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoops Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Have you tried to reverse out in a Type-R? Cant see the bloody corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Have you tried to reverse out in a Type-R? Cant see the bloody corners.The EP2 isn't bad but the one with the spoiler across the back window is stupid. It's a front wheel drive car with a spoiler that serves absolutely no purpose other than for aesthetic merit. Edited June 25, 2011 by Wash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Picked up a nice leather interior a few days ago. They delivered it next day too. I got it really cheap considering they normally sell at around £200. Link to listing Gonna fit it once I've put in a new engine. Will post pics once it's fitted.
