Hey!

Post by Beemer906 »

Hey! I'm new to this forum but not new to manuals. Currently I am the proud owner of a 1986 BMW M3 E30 5 Speed Manual. I absolutely love this car. I consider it one of the better cars BMW has ever made. I am looking into maybe purchasing 135i or maybe even a M3 E92 just because I love the sound of the V8. I am looking forward to getting to know this forum!

Haha Thanks Njsi! My friend just got one so I might try driving his. The only reason I am really considering a new car is that mine is starting to have all of its components start to fall apart from old age. In all honesty I am not the biggest fan of the style of the new Bimmers. But hey who could pass up 6 cyl Twin Turbo 306 HP Engine

Welcome, and I too will vote for the 135i. If I had the money, I'd buy it right now. :D I do agree with you on the styling, though. They look way too ...roundy now.

A hoi-hoi.

My favorite bimmer is a late '90s M3. My friend's got a modded NA '98 and I love that car to death. I've considered kidnapping him and taking the car. :D

Hahahahaha ya the late 90's are really nice but for me they still aren't as good as the late 80's
They look way too ...roundy now.
That is exactly what I think as well.

Welcome, Beemer!
Older M3 = A favorite of mine.
Older M5 = God.

I saw a late 80's M5 the other day. Probably the most beautiful thing I've laid eyes upon.
Looked like this.

I saw one the other day as well. I have been thinking about looking for one to buy but its really hard to find one in good condition. I have seen some nice M6 but I am just not a fan of any 6 so I think I will stick with my 3 until I find something absolutely amazing.
