Default My first BMW.

Hello everyone.
2 Saturday's ago I attended the Santa Barbara 2005 Bimmerfest event. At almost the end of the show, I met up with a guy and bought my first BMW, a 1995 318ti. My dad really influenced me to get one and even showed me the for sale post to get my interest. My dad has owned various BMW's from 2002's to 540's to his current 91' M5, so you could say its starting to run in the family. At the moment, I own a 2001 Passat wagon which I've tricked out some, but it's just not the car for me. The car when I got it had a little under 105k miles, with fresh paint (alpine white), the M style kit, a kickin' stereo, cloth (not TOO fond of), Intake/exhaust (sounds bad too me), and H&R springs. Future plans are as goes: Coilovers, BBS's of some kind, DASC, RECARO's, Cage (maybe), or maybe just do the M3 motor swap. Whats really ironic about that day I bought the car was that in the charity raffle, I won front and rear strut tower bars from Eurobahn for an E36/E46. Then havent gotten back to me yet, and I'm not sure they make on that fits the ti' but in the worst case I'll get a chip. Here are the only pictures I have of it so far taken on the way back from Santa Barbara. Enjoy.



Here is a picture of my Passat.

Both cars look great. Love the wheels on both and I've never been a big fan of Passat's, but I love that one!! Get the eyebrows painted white soon though!!!!
