Well i might aswell start one of these for the beemer.
So, sold the 106 gti and bought me a nice and tidy bmw 323i (2.5 litre) 170 horses in the engine too. ![](/board/images/smile/thumbs.gif)
So i travelled all the way from middlesbrough to pick up a low mileaged bmw (55k ) from croydon.
picks of what she looked like when i picked her up:

Plans for the future:
Full service
Clean leather interior up ( just front seats )
rear m3 light cluster
smoked indicators front and side repeaters
m3 front bumper - stil in dispute
rear spoiler from m3 with the brake light
engine wise im going for
bigger throttle body and manifold
full exhaust from a 328i (has twin pipes)
possibly an induction kit like the gruppe ones
remap - should be over 200bhp then ![](/board/images/smile/cool.gif)
thats it for now, i need to save my pennies now

its not too bad, £20 gives me 100 miles around town, but on the motorway i can pick up 40 - 45mpg ![](/board/images/smile/thumbs.gif)
Typically i would like to make it run faster, tidy it up abit ( some seals are showing age and abit of waxoil on the arches.
I would like to achieve 200bhp atleast during my ownership of the car, but we will see, i also would like to get it handling better ( sports suspension and an m5 rear axle )
