Here's my new M42 91 318is. Bought it on October 30th and have been driving it since. It needs a new exhaust and brakes. Also the sunroof is broken so I'll be taking that apart to see just what it is that's wrong with it. In the spring I'm planning on lowering it some and hopefully picking up some new summer wheels for it. It also has a lot of paint swirling that I'm going to try and do my best to get rid of. Not too sure what I'll be doing but I'll try and keep a nice detailed photo log of it on here.

And for anyone that asks, that is mine/my dad's 91 318iC in the backround. M42 FTW

Welcome To M42Club. That's pretty much what mine needed. It was a dealer trade in and they cut $1000 for the exhaust and were offering the owner $2500 when it booked for a little over $5K. At first I thought your car was bent! Then noticed the fisheye lens.

Haha no bend thankfully. The car is nice and straight, although it pulls to the right these days, but I think the front drivers side brake is dragging so I'm looking forward to getting it all apart and putting the new brakes on.

I love the coloer of the cabbie in the background, it's pretty rare on a 4-cylinder car. Is that Diamondschwarz or Lagunengrun(sp)? It almost looks green. Either way, welcome to the club!

welcome, looks like you are off to a great start!

Both those E30's look pretty cool!

Star spoke on the cabrio looks nice. Those are rare -- I've seen two E30s and one E36 with them.

I'm colorblind so I couldn't tell you honestly, but I had to check it after someone else pointed it out and the color tag inside the engine bay says it's DS so thats what I'm going with. I think the color will really come back once I give it a proper wax and polish. Just trying to find a day that's warm enough which is getting harder and harder to do.

A few more of the cabbie. She's by far my favorite car.

And the other non-m42 cars that I get to drive on a semi regular basis (these are all either my dad's, mom's or my sisters)

Wow, I wish my family would buy that many BMWs

I love that tii, I've only seen 1 round-taillight one in person in my life.

you guys must have awesome dinnertime conversations...

thanks for sharing... people often refer to the 318is as the spiritual successor to the 2002tii... let us know!
