new car day, the ultimate steet sleeper!
Just bought me new car!
On the face of it just any other BMW325i
look!
The leather interior is not really to my taste, but its nice enough.
but what really floats my boat is the way that those nice people at JamSport saw fit to drop in a stage one tuned M3 Evolution engine!
Climbing into the driver seat is akin to making a pact with Satan himself.
This thing is obscenely rapid and squats like nothing since my old days of driving a 3-door Sierra Cosworth.
Best of all when I'm driving normally nobody gives you a second glance.
Atm my shopping list includes suspension and a well set up drift diff, but for now I am Very, VERY happy!
Even my insurance are happy. When I declared the engine and the brakes (mercifully uprated) they wanted 15 quid extra a month.
Not bad coming from a toyota corolla
Sod this, I'm off for a drive!

atm its got an open diff *spit* but I am in the process of securing an LSD which will then be uprated from the standard 25% lock to a very driftable 80% lock, then fitted to the car.
After that, and suspension, it will be quite a weapon
Oh and on the way home I went into a BMW dealership. a 316 badge costs 17 quid brand new, so I will pay a visit to a scrappy and do the honourable thing after handing over a fiver for the goods

Not that I'm bothered, that fact alone will bump up the price by a few 100's when it comes to resale time

P.S. Drift vids, soon come

Did they do the brakes? Oh BTW. Your old white 3 door got sold to a friend of mine's mate. Last I heard it spends most of the time tucked up in a garage
