Bought a BMW

**Hitman** · July 14th, 2006

Well my wife finally got a Job, so we (she) decided we needed a second car. Despite the fact I have been telling her this for over a year now. I went to the Junk Yard here on post, where people leave their cars that they can not ship to the states for many reasons, the main one being that they are European specs, and wouldn't make it past customs. I found this 1987 BMW 318i. It's in pretty good condition. Needs a few minor things done so it will pass inspection, but other then that its a good little get to work car.

Side view, the body is in pretty good shape.

The Speedometer is in Kilometers per hour. Its going to take a little getting used to.

what is the engine clocked at? Mod in some nitro and you should overclock quite nicely. :P

There is also a body-kit for 318s i think, to make them look like 325. If your into that kinda thing.

Nope I am going to drive it for the next year and a half, then sell it when I leave Germany.
