I'm new to the forum. I'm actually surprised I hadn't already joined ages ago. Been a member of BFC, M3forums, 2002faq and r3vlimited for the last 8-10 years or so. Member of BMW CCA for 7 or so years (waited really long before joining them too.) I have wanted a ti since 1998, but never really could justify buying one. I have owned an '84 318i, '88 M3, '92 325i, '73 2002, '95 525i, '97 M3, '89 325i, and wife's 99 528it. I have basically owned a BMW since I was 17 years old. I may actually be buying one within the week or two assuming my M3 sells in the next few days. Some may think its a huge "downgrade", but I have always wanted one and well, I do what I want! Hope to get to know you guys better really soon. | | | 07-19-2016, 01:52 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Welcome. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 07-19-2016, 02:30 AM | #3 | Member Join Date: Sep 2015 Location: MD Posts: 36 | thats a good collection of cars youve had go through your garage. welcome! | | | 07-19-2016, 03:44 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Welcome!

He's in need of new paint due to extensive clear coat failure, and the interior is faded, but he runs great. sadly, he didn't get through his first Autocross without finding out we have a bad front left wheel bearing, so he's now getting new wheel bearings, control arms(with M3 bushings), and tie rod ends, plus an alignment and he should be ready for the next one. | | | 07-30-2016, 06:05 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Nice and welcome! Which Org did you Autocross with? Where are you located? Cheers!
