Hi, just a quick hello Im Jay from Wales and just picked up another BMW. Had e30s e29 z3 and previously an avus m sport 316 compact. Just picked up a sweet 1999 318 ti m sport trim in techno violet. Not many still going in this colour as far as I understand. Going to keep this one and give it the lavish treatment it deserves. Will post pics and updates on build/ mods as I go along. Rather fuzzy picture of how i collected it in photo gallery link . The guy has not washed or polished it in a long time. At the garage right now having some stuff sorted and then will be having full pro valet next week- and some decent pictures then. Already found an ACS rear window brake light spoiler for £40 this week so happy start.
Cheers Jay

Hi Thanks for the welcome. I have attached a pic if you click on the gallery bit. Its the sellers pic and the guy hadnt even cleaned it. Its going to get a detail valet in a week or so and it should really sparkle. Although at 6"6 and 260 lbs I really didnt envisage a "sparkle compact" as my new wheels!
Regretes selling my avusblu 3 years ago and this came along for a few hundred £ so result. Will post as much as possible cheers jay

Oh I should have clarified. I'm familiar with the color, almost bought an e36 M3 in that color, but I've never seen it on a compact! I'm so excited to see it!
