Just wanted to say hi! 5 days ago i picked up a 318is from NY (thanks O!) and drove it 900 miles home in one shot. She will join the stable next to my 89 M3, yay 4cyl BMWs. since i've had her, i've removed the airbag wheel and put on a Personål wheel/shift knob. i've got some window weather stripping on the way, and i'll be hitting up the pick n pull this weekend for some door frame gaskets.
Cosmetically there is work to be done (door dings and what appears to be the result of a slight collision with...something low and...soft...) outside, the interior is really damn beautiful. mechanically she's in pretty good shape.
in the not too distant future i will be
- putting in my leftover M3's 4.10LSD into it
- doing some slight rust abatement.
- rebuilding the drivers side door lock tumbler
- fixing power locks/power mirrors/rear window defroster
She will be my semi-daily driver when i don't have to use the truck for work. if the weather cooperates this weekend i'll take some pics. we'll see how that works out. Anyway, look forward to getting some tips from the community here.
