BMW Owners club?!

Sign in to disble this ad
Did a search... couldn't find such a club apologies if one exists.

This thread is for people to celebrate their ownership of the marque's high quality luxury/sports cars, or offer advice or various problems to look out for when buying, etc.

Please post pics of your bimmers!!

Well, me first I guess. I'm 19, and this is my first car I bought with my hard earned: A 1988 320i convertible!

(noy my actual car, but identical)
About as cool as $3850 can buy around my neck of the woods.

Not really sure what else to say...

GO!

Sure I'll bite... she's got a busted driveshaft and I'm considering getting rid of it just due to the cost of parts for what I do to her, but really fun, got for less than $1k as a winter car and has lasted 2 winters and half a dozen SCCA Rallycrosses which I have been undefeated in.

wow, $3850, I'm jealous! Are you in Victoria? I used to be a member of the Vic BMW Club. I vaguely recall it was part of BMW clubs Australia, and it's worth checking out. They took me through all my advanced driver courses, and we used to have a Calder Park day where we raced each other.

wait, try this http://www.clubs.bmw.com.au/scripts/...p?PageID=12927

Good luck!

now, back to bass...
