Default Back to BMW..

Long story short... My dad calls me to go with him to check out a BMW he found for sale on Thursday so we checked it out it had a little damage on the trunk, no biggy, very very nice color, Avus Blue... 1998 323is very clean interior with a 2 tone sporty color white/gray, sport package and heated seats, also the guy sold it to me with 17" BBS wheels, very nice car all in all.
So i am going to be selling my Lexus, or trying to atleast. I will try to check out the forums here an there still though!
My dad pretty much "stole" her from the guy he got it so cheap! Well, here she is, let me know what you guys think?

Nice. Keep both the BMW and the Lexus if you can. Nothing like owning cars from two different companies that excel at different things.

I wish i could keep both... We have 5 people/drivers in my family and 6 cars... There's no room for extras and my dad doesnt think i need 2 cars Thanks for the comments guys.. I think i'll be here more then any other forums... I don't know if many have you have heard of Euroteknik?.. Very ncie thread for info alot of people that know what they are talking about when they are serious, but alot of the time they tend to burn and rip on people, atleast thats what i remember from when i was on there couple years ago, maybe now they have grown up. But i'll be posting on here when i get a chance. As long as the Chicago guys let me bring my Bimmer to the meets, or if they are gonna make me drive my mom's Lexus

Yup I love driving that thing... Going from my Lexus to driving my dads S-Class wow, suspension feels so stiff steering wheel is much stiffer then the Lexus, handling is amazing! When you turn on Sport mode 2 on the suspension setting whole nother story shocks stiffen up double the amount and body roll reduced by atleast 30%. That car was a work of art, imagine the brand new ones!

NICE!

I just got my E36 too I love it!! I see the previous owner did some mods there, those are projector headlights (do you know what brand, ZKW, umnitza, bosch, etc)? Also looks like you got the black kidney grill as well

My dad pretty much "stole" her from the guy he got it so cheap!
The question is who did HE steal it from?

Avus is a nice color and the wheels look good.

I was gonna say the 323 is a bit slow if you don't mind cruising, but from an ES300 it's fair game.

Man it feels so "tight" its the best way i can put it. Everything just feels so much stiffer, tighter and solid. My Lexus is soft and loose you know what im saying you have a Bimmer.. The gas pedal is tough to push and suspension (sport package) is amazing! I love this car, im not putting the Lex down its just they are totally different classes. My lex is a family sedan and the bimmer is more the sport car category, or sport coupe .

Awesome! To bad we cant cruise, Yeah upgraded to projectors and halo's, i have no idea what namebrand they are. Once i get the car back probally friday or so i'll be sure to take a look and post it here for you.

You know what i havent punched it yet i only drove it a total about 15 minutes. I have LOTS of plans for this car, she has a HUGE future.. heres a sneak preview. (You guys with the E36's do not get any type of description here!)
I hope to be boosting by middle of spring.
