Hello all! Excited to join the forums and start learning more about this great machine. To tell you a bit about my car, it's a 2001 BMW 330i in Steel Grey Metallic and I'm the original owner (only has 108,000 km and drives pretty well all things considered). It was actually my mom's old car...

So I’m new to car building. I love cars and can always be found reading a car magazine but I don’t know shit about building/repairing them. So I recently copped a 1999 bmw 328i in shitty condition(I got it damn near free) so I can fix up and learn about building cars along the way. I took it to...

Hi! I'm new here, but I hope you guys can help me sort out a game plan for dealing with my new 1999 323i. Having recently moved to Brooklyn I transfered a lease for a Honda Civic Si to a family member to avoid paying the extreme full coverage insurance costs here in NYC. Still needing a car...
