New guy in Brisbane!
hey guys, i missed this section and posted in the hatch specific area, seems a bit dead in there though
any way i've been lurking on here for a while but i figured that i had better sign up and do a proper intro thread now that i have something worth talking about... i am a bit of a car nut and i roll with the boys from JDMST/Downshift this is how we do http://www.downshiftaus.com/?p=273  up until now i have had a few cars none of which are really worth talking about and i have been biding my time until i was able to get a car i wanted at i price i like, looked at an e36 m3 a few months back but finally settled on this and picked it up on monday: (sorry about the shitty pic i've only had it for a week and its a bit dirty)  a 2006 BMW E87 130i. (6spd manual) is got the N52B30 engine making a stock 195 kW (262 hp) @ 6650 rpm and 315 N·m (232 lb·ft) @ 2750 rpm making it the fastest car i have owned to date :rofl it was fitted with the "M" package when new and handles amazingly my future plans are to get some Enkei NT03+M's for it in 18x8.5 +38 depending on how the measurements come out this might change and maybe some decent coils to get that low that it kinda needs, i am waiting on a response from a "local" (over 1000km's away) BMW tuning house on a price for some KW springs to suit so we'll see.. anyway this is my "other car" a 1968 Holden Ute, as you can see i have spent a bit more time in doing up the old girl.. it was my first car i got when i was 15 and i have been madly in love with it ever since.. when i got it  and now  oh and i recently acquired this to go in it as well  i look forward to posting some more pics/progress soon |

welcome to 1addicts dude! the germans seem to modify their 1er hatches more than anyone else on this planet, so keep a tab on their sub-forums to keep in the loop re new mod milestones

Was that video taken at the new shopping centre at Runcorn on Warrigal Rd?
Oh and welcome! What's with all the Downshift guys getting BMW's all of a sudden? haha, nothing wrong with that though! I will always have a thing for RX7's... |
