Default I'm back - and with a new car!

Now then.... haven't really used PF properly in a looooong time. Mainly due to getting sick of the politics and the like, but we'll not go into that.

Figured after the recent raft of changes, I'd come back onto the site a bit more, plus it gives me a chance to show off my new car:



It's only a 328i Sport, but I'm pretty damn happy with it And I love the Alpinas

If its newer than 96 it should be fine, if not ring a bmw dealer with the chassis number, they should be able to tell you

That was off the top of my head, but nobody should take information on here as gospel anyway without doing some research.

Very nice! That looks a slightly different shade of blue to the normal one (think it is topaz blue or monaco blue that they normally come in?). Friend of a friend had one. Plenty of grunt!

And that is?
Not aiming at an argument or hijacking this thread just that you drive a BMW (i know others do on here) and have slated Fords on a Ford site. You'll only say its banter though.

I like 328I Beemers a lot, my mates mum had a pristine one in the same colour and i loved it, but i think dogsmoke said "its only a 328" as in its not an M3 which makes a shits difference to me as it looks the business m3 or not.

But most don't take pansy swipes at Fords with nothing to back it up....Constantly

Nice motor, Good reliable bus the 328i Sports are I enjoyed mine when I had it

Interstingly, I have a set of Coilovers and braided brake hoses and ferrodo DS2500 pads (all brand new) waiting for someone to buy that would go on there an absolute treat (I'd even fit them all including the coilovers for you too in my new workshop

It told me a brake light was out so I went straight to Halfrauds and sorted it. I don't piss about with anything these days!

It's an individual colour, the seller listed it as Agean Blue, which I'd never heard of, but it looks amazing clean and in the sun!

You know what mate, I never even thought! I always think of you as being in London for some reason!!

It's great

What coilovers you got?? It's apparently fitted with Koni suspension, but I haven't had chance to check it out and probably wouldn't know if I looked

I paid £2350 for it, which I am very happy with as it's worth a bit more than that.
