Hey Guys,
Finally joined the BMW family last weekend when I picked up this 1996 328is. This is a car that I have wanted for a long time, and last weekend the stars aligned. I found and picked up this beauty in a period of about 24 hours.
The car has about 120 000 km's (74000 miles) on it and is pretty much stock. The previous owner had it for 12 years and hardly drove it. He took great care if it and made sure to keep up on the maintenance. I don't have any pics of the interior but it is in fantastic shape. I felt like I was driving a brand new car home, thats how "un-worn" everything is.
So far I had to replace a tie rod and it looks like I'll have to do the front ball joints pretty quick. After I get that stuff done I'm definitely going to get some new headlights and get rid of the amber corners and tails. Then possibly an M bumper.
The first shot is from the day I bought it, and the next couple are from a few days after (unfortunately the car was a little dirty).

The winter wheels and tires are on right now, but the summers should be on in a couple weeks when then snow is completely gone.
