Default Short introduction from me.

Hya guys.
Just signed up on here so thought id introduce myself to you all.
Name is Tony aka EKO.
Been into BMW`s for the last 6 or 7 years or so so no real stranger to them really.
Im an E30 fan at heart really and still have my Black 2dr with an M50 fitted.This was my daily untill recently,its now in my garage stripped waiting for a few minor body repairs and respray.
Current daily is a 98 323i Coupe with a few little mods done/to do.
Ive also just bought a 99 316i Compact with the M43 1.9 engine hence the reason me finding this site on a Google search
The compact has suffered a front end prang due to a stupid drink driver,fortunatly not too badly damaged and easilly repairable.
Brief plan for it is too get a new front end fitted ie bonnet/wings/bumper/grill then probably stick an M50/M52 in it.

Anyway im going for a nosey around the site now to find a little inspiration.
Cheers Tony

welcome, the compact uses the same body panels in the front as an E36 sedan just so you know, makes finding parts a little easier

post some pics

Sedan = 4 door
Coupe = 2 door...

Not all marques say the same thing...

The TI is a 4 door from the doors forward, doors and everything to the rear is unique. Incl the tail lights.
