318i Cabriolet.........

Post Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:03 am

Been a while since i've put up pics of anything, but a couple of weeks back i was getting fed up with the touring and have added a 318i Auto Cabby to my fleet!!!!!
Was meant to be a sensible summer runaround that'd use a bit less petrol than the 327!! Already wishing it was a 325 though!!!!
Few little bits to do (as always!!) but i'm very pleased with it so far!! Already covered 1500 miles!!!
And i've got a bit over excited and started buying some expensive audio bits, so a decent sound system will be going in over the next few weeks!!!!!!!

Pics are just the ones from the ad, but it's filthy already, so i'll get it cleaned and get some proper pics in a few weeks when i've sorted a few bits on it!!!

Needs a proper engine!

If you run your fingertip over it, does it squeak?

Lol!! Cheers guys!!

I know it needs a proper engine - like i said, wishing it was a 325 already, but this one just stood out from what i saw advertised and seems to have been well looked after!!

As for other plans, well it was meant to be a cheap runaround, but now i'm going ott on the ICE, I'm thinking about wheels too - and that means it'll need a drop to get a proper stance!!
Other than that though, just a really good clean (leather is in good cond, but a bit grubbier than it looks) and a machine polish (red on the bootlid and one rear corner looks like it will start to fade soon!!).

If i just went for refurbed 15" BBS, what do ya reckon?
Original silver/grey? Silver/grey with a polished lip? Black with a polished lip?
Will have to do some photoshopping when i get a chance!!

Original silver for the wheels is what i wold go for. Or some nice BBS RS.

A set of RS would be lovely!!!!!!! This bargain summer ride is getting expensive!!!!!!

Also got a cruise control kit somewhere that was for my touring, but i'm thinking i might get it put on this now!!!
