On October 31 of 2005, I traded in my '97 Mazda (CLICK HERE TO SEE) to purchase this 1992 E36 BMW.
Unlike the Mazda I previously owned, this car will not be modified as much. There's really no point in doing all that sh*t to a car - its not worth the effort. All you will ever do is attract Police, and NOBODY wants that.
Am I happy with it so far? Not sure. Compared to the Mazda, the BMW drives like a boat (it IS heavier), has more blind spots, has more rattles, and the engine doesnt sound as healthy. But it has class, its very smooth and quiet to drive, and people are stupid enough to think i'm rich just because I bought it. These BMW's aren't all that expensive to buy, just a bit pricey to maintain.

Speaking of pricey, here are links to my 2 other cars....
