    Wheelaholics checking in 👍

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Scott and I own a 2000 BMW 323i. I picked up this car for $700 due to someone's Ex girlfriend having anger issues. It was pretty beat up so I thought to my self "I'm going to have fun with this one". Many will not like my build and that is fine. We are all entitled to our own opinions. I am building this car for ME and no one else. My objective is to be different than everyone else. Please feel free to leave comments or ask questions an I will do my best to answer them. I am very thick skinned and understand sarcasm VERY well. But remember everyone, we are all adults here. I'll post up more pictures as I get them. Feel free to follow me on Facebook, or Instagram under the same username. I look forward to learning a little more on here.

    V/R
    Scott

    I wouldn't have even bought that for $700... Curious to see where this goes. Good platform for some totally custom stuff I will say that...

    If the white truck in the background in that last pic is any indication this will be a rather unique build...

    Non-M E46... You could go down aisle 3 at Autozone and put every flame sticker, steering wheel cover, dingle ball, license plate frame, ill fitting seat cover and plastic hood scoop on it and no real bimmer enthusiast is going to give two poops. Do yo thang

    But did you check the trunk for her body or other kind of "evidence"?

    Because I'm pretty sure he cared about what she did to the car for days. Hehe.

    perfect.

    VAC more like 30k though lol



    I'm just messing with you OP, I'm sure you'll bring it back to life. I would of picked it up for $700 too perfect car to practice body work and some risky things you wouldn't otherwise do.

    I'd Widebody the crap out of it and do a budget turbo build

    I don't think it's that bad actually. For $700, I think it's a cool starting point on a very easy to mod platform.

    I have some OEM sedan tailights I have no need for if you're interested. I'm not far from Bakersfield either.

    It's probably been abandoned, scrapped, recycled and turned into an ugly bench somewhere.

    I noticed he never mentioned how it ran.
    He probably tried to start it, after posting here,
    and found mechanical problems equal to the cosmetic ones,
    So he BAILED!!
