You're repairing it? Part it out, it's WAY beyond totalled.

Birdman16 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 21, 2008, 07:28:46 PM »

No its not.. it needs a new bumper, all lower valence, foglights and turnsignals. 500 for a new front end (already shipping) and 150 for the stone wall, what a deal. I actually drove it today because grounding is over and it drove great, no suspension damage and nothing cracked broken or bent. Should have it by wednesday and I will do the front end with the help of my dad next weekend.

The only thing that sux is that I have to do manual hand turn signals. The cop behind me today got a kick out of that in 30 degree weather on the road...lol

I've got skidschool tomorrow... I think it will hurt me more than anything. Front wheel drive and traction controled Hyundai Sonatas vs. Rear wheel drive and no traction control 318is. Hmmm. what do you think. I would keep the e30 even if I had a choice.

awsome nothing like learing how to drive in a front wheel drive sh!t box sounds like fun. traction control is for sissys... fix the bimmer and have some fun Safe is side ways

Gonna leave in about a half hour. Did some hyundai driving in the Grand Turismo game with a steering wheel. Handles much different and slides are difficult. Should be fine though, practice makes perfect.

Second what Boosted E30 said: traction control is for sissys and safe is sideways.

ya the driving style for fwd is tottaly different ecpecially in snow they should have both fwd and rwd cars to teach the different handling.

Yeah. Had a good time at skid school. Didn't even need to go. My dad spun out the car more than me. I spun only when they told me to. My dad spun the car even when they told him not to.... lol. They only taught threshold braking. Not using the throttle. I have a half day and I'm updating from shool. Will do pics when I get home from school. Got to take the car in today and got all good reviews.

I will have pics up soon. Will do so after getting over my girlfriend dumping me for my best friend. How did that happen? I'm beside myself...

I'll tell ya how, when she found out that you damaged your poor 318is, she automatically labeled you as a BMW killer. If I were a girl, I would leave you too

Thanks man, that made me laugh really hard actually. I hung out with a bunch of friends today, and Courtney and her new boyfriend showed up aka best friend. I went back with her to her house to hang and he randomly showed up again. They got it on in the bedroom while I was there and I hauled ass away from that house, she comforted me and found where I had parked down the street, but he came, wanted to kick his ass.:mad: Horrible day. Then got in my e30, downshifted a gear or two, and big smiles poped up:D:D:D I love that car, don't know what I would have done without it. It has gotten me through good times and bad:)

Just put the front end on. Came out nice. A little darker red than brilliant rot for the bumper and a black lower valance. It seems to be the one that was standard on the 325 for that year. It has slats where we have that long black trim piece on the front.

Quick question. I went to put the splitter valence back on, and the holes where it pushs up to the front of the lower valence does not line up. There are no holes and the clips are in the way. I'll take the clips off tonight and see if there are holes underneath, but in the mean time... is there any way to fit the IS splitter onto a 325 valence??

Thanks

Birdman16 · « **Reply #27 on:** December 09, 2008, 02:13:32 PM »

Anyone have any advice, really want to put the valence back on. Look up one post for details.

Thanks

The 325 valence is just like our valence, and they both use the same front lip, so everything SHOULD line up correctly.

When I first got my car, my front valence had a beautiful dent and the lip was ripped off, so I dissasembled everything and sent the valence in for repair. Then I had the project of putting it all back together. What made it a real fun project was that the lip had massive amounts of really really hard glue holding the broken clips on, so I had to cut my way through that. Without any other knowlege, I am going to guess maybe you have the same problem?

Also, it's nice to see another 17 year old out there with the same car as me doing the same thing. Hauling major ass away from the houses of girls that do not desire to be your girlfriend. I really hope you're not serious about them having sex while you were over, cuz I would have no idea why you would even talk to her after that. But spend five minutes in your car, along with some spirited driving, and everything just seems to look up

I, too, don't know how I would handle life (emphasis on the girl portion) without my car to restore a smile on my face.

Thanks man, I don't know, she just really does not know what she wants in life. I think they just made out and she moaned, she does that a lot... anyway. I would get back together with her beacuse it is not working out between them, and she really, I mean REALLY realizes her mistake...

Let the hate responses begin...
