    R.I.P. '99 323is -- and moving on to my 3rd my new E36

    My beloved alpine 323is was totaled this past friday. However I'm picking up another 323is this thursday, tell me what you think about it, it's a fairly rare color (Ascot Green Metallic). I'll have alot parts to swap over this weekend, whats left will be sold here.


    Ebay link to pics of new car

    RIP will be missed

    Dang man, glad your OK! That thing took a hit.

    At least you'll know all the parts from the wrecked one will fit on the new one!


    Hey, I know where Winter Park is, I went to college there! Thats a nice looking car. Looks like the new and old had the same color interior, gonna swap the seats?

    Yep, plan on swapping the DS seat from my old car, maybe all of it because my interior was mint.

    I'm sorry for your loss, looks like it smashed into that tree hard, glad you're ok.

    I like the new car though, It'll look real nice once you swap the seats.

    man, that has got to have been a hard hit against the tree?

    Were you trying to drift in the thing or simply unexpected?

    BTW: the new car is pretty nice.

    not to scavange a bit early, but how much for:

    ~ the digital climate control/heater box and harness?
    ~ Aux Fan
    ~ Heated hood squirters

    It can be done, but it's hard. I found mine on Autotrader after 4 months and expanding the search radius to 200 miles.

    Still paid more than I wanted, but I'm happy with it.

    The interior on the new car looks very worn... much more worn than 115k miles worth

    That said, you got a hell of a deal. I paid double that a few years ago for mine, but it was immaculate...

    Florida cars that aren't parked in a garage look like that after a while, the sun just destroys the leather.

    Sorry to hear about the ride man but yeah the new one looks nice. Did your wheels survive at all on the old one kinda looks like they did from the pictures?

    Knowledge isn't necessarily knowing the answer, but knowing where to find the answer.

    That sucks. But on a funny note I just looked at the first picture and thought how the hell is that totaled. But then I actually scrolled down. Nice looking replacement.
