First off the car was bought about 5 years ago by my brother for £350 for his girlfreind to learn to drive in. She then sold it to me when I was 17 for £485 (my insirance was £2400
), I added a new 30%uprated shocks and 35mm drop springs all round as well as 325i brakes up front with braided hoses off of my brothers vert as he went for a hi-spec 360mm BBK.I then sold the car to my mum and bought an E34 525i sport, which I loved, unfortionately having to sell as I had to leave my job as an electrical apprentice.
Fast foward to 2010, I'm finishing my course as an electrician next summer, I'm 21 tomorow, and i'm currently being lent the car by my parents, my job its to maintain it, but going to buy it sometime next year so gonna do some mods to it.
