New Member Intro

Hi guys. I am a new member here and just wanted to say hi. I am also a member (same user name) on the 2002 Faq Page, and R3VLimitted.
My girl friend and I just purchased a 2010 135i. It is black on black with the sport package and a few other doodads, blinky lights, and things that go BING
We just got the car from BMW Concord yesterday.
I am new to new BMW's, but not new to BMW. I have owned a 1976 BMW 2002, a 1991 BMW 318i (modified), and still own a 1974 BMW 2002 which I am currently working on... a lot.
We traded our 2007 Mini S in for the 135.
I am spending a lot of money on my 2002 project but after seeing a set of BBS LM reps and reading the DIY section here I am already planning a few small things for out 1 series. Nothing huge, just cosmetic stuff.
The 135i. Sorry it is a bit dirty but we were forced to park it under some trees last night


So fare I am very happy with it, and so is the lady friend.
My first car, the '76 '02. I was in the middle of prepping it for paint when it got hit by a freind, which totaled the car out. I did not know it at the time, but I could have fixed this my self...


My 318i. I was young and dumb and full of... well you know. I crashed it. It was lowered on H&R sport springs and Bilstien Sport struts, had some black Rota wheels, and a few other odds and ends. Fun car!


And my current project car. You can read my whole project thread over at R3V. It currently has a stripped interior, bolt in cage, Racing seats and belts, urethane bushing all around, 22mm sway bars, Ireland stage 2 springs, Bilstien sport struts, Volvo big brake upgrade in the front, braided brake lines, rear strut tower brace w/battery relocation, and a few other odds and ends. I am currently working on a m20b25 from a '91 325i that will go into my '02. Should be plenty of fun. The car is not great to look at but it is a blast to drive. Thats all I want out of it. It will be my track rat.





Thats about it. If you would like to know more details about my '02 project here is the thread.

Most of the motor details are towards the end.
Thanks for reading!
Cheers!
