I love Euro cars. My first car was a VW Jetta Vr6 and i loved that car to death, but over time i started getting kind of bored of front wheel drive, so i sold it and started shopping for another car. All of my girlfriends family loves nissans so they all told me to stay away from Euros and go with a nissan or datsun. I almost gave in since i couldnt find an affordable Audi, but then i found this. A 1993 325i with a M3 body kit, I instantly fell in love with it. 3 of my friends also have Bimmers, 1 E36, 1 E28, and 1 E21. I hope that this forums site will be helpful and fun, so hello everybody!

Lower the back 2 more inches, front 4 inches. Put on the M3 wheels i have set aside. Carbon fiber hood. Bit longer down the road ill throw racing cams in along with forged rods and pistons, racing gaskets, and a few other things to really build up the engine, then turbo it.:buttrock

Make sure you do the whole-entire-cooling-system before you buy a single turbo part ;)

Nice ride, and welcome to the community :D

I am too, unfortunately. Lol. I'm only 21 and I've been spoiled by my E36. And now that I've had it, all I want to own in the future is BMW lol.

Nice ride. My first bimmer was a 328i 1997. Loved it. Now I drive a Z3.

Enjoy!! You'll be the envy of the Nissan owners. Nothing beats a BMW.

nice ride and welcome! I would make sure maintenance and cooling is up to date then deal with the suspension. I have a set of 328is sport package sways if you're interested. Going turbo is pretty expensive... Better do some research on that before you go buying parts...

I bought a 94 e36 couple months ago and really like it. I'm hoping to buy an e46 later on but do the suspension, cooling, and regular maintence and you should be good to go. There real easy to work on.

Thanks, Without the emblem it looks kinda ricey but once you put the BMW emblem on it looks so clean, love the power of the bmw emblem.
