[Dan318-is]

[Zayyan]

16" BBS?

He'd have to do a 5-stud conversion first

I agree about changing the wheels though, however for some reason I'm still liking the old skool-ness of the Bottletops

[Zayyan]

I presume you insured it from your 17th birthday?

Did you check if fully comp with the excess jacked up was any cheaper?

[Hyperion]

BOTTLE TOPS!!! WHOHWOWHOHOWHOO :)
...........(well until we can afford some 16" or 17" )

[320Touring]

Welcome mate

car looks lovely-I hope it gives you as much pleasure as my 320i gives me

whereabouts are you in Portugal?

I really enjoyed driving in your country, but some of the country folk seemed to think there was an "invisible middle lane"

[E30BeemerLad]

Hello Jorge and welcome to the zone

The paintwork on your car looks incredible for a car in a country with amount of sunshine you get.

[320impaler]

I'm sorry i think i didn't understand your question=(

whereabouts are you in Portugal?

I'm from Lisbon but i dont live exactly in the center...about the invisible midlle lane,i wish that was our only problem we have many good roads unforunately some of them are in very bad conditions...but the real problem is the drivers i bet u know POrtugal as the country with more road kills...well thats true=( all because of the lack of civism and respect on the road,and mainly(in my opinion) because of the bad teaching in the driving schools =/ its a shame...

But yeah we do have real great mountain roads

The paintwork on your car looks incredible for a car in a country with amount of sunshine you get.

Thats because the old owner barely drove it(the car as 75.000 kms ) and allways kept it in a garage...and i intend to do the same

As for the insurance i pay around 250Ԛ┚¬ per year...dont know quit well how much it is in Ԛ£ its relatively cheap because the car is in my mums name(im only 17 so it cant be in mine) and she as is license for more than 5 years(10 actually and she never drives )

Zayyan i hope this answred ur question

Take care everyone

[Nostrils]

Welcome to the site Jorge, nice car you have there, very clean.

I think you are being sensible in learning to drive the car first before doing anything with the looks and power! Take it easy, learn what you can do and how the car handles and you should enjoy many years of cool motoring....by the way, if your mates want to ride in the car and driving around all night checking the chicks out, then make sure they pay their way, get a couple of Euros of them before they get in......Petrol cost money - thats how I was able to drive my first car as much as I did!

[Sjoerd320i]

damn.. still the youngest one on here

[320Touring]

Lisbon is fantastic-the castle is so cool-views are amazing

people are really friendly!

whats that big square called, the one down at the sea with the Yellow buildings/statues of guys on horses?

Its amazing, and a real sun trap
