Hi all having owned a 320 coupe in 1995 and a 325 convertible 2 years ago I have just taken the plunge again and bought myself a 318is .
Ive forgotten how much fun these cars are to own even enjoying the search for parts !! the list is getting ever longer !

This will be my first restoration hopefully as a rolling project
looking forward to all the help and advice from this great forum

got a bit of work to do first

going for the mechanically reliable not perfect show car just want to use it as a daily driver,

cars should be driven and enjoyed not just polished, made that mistake last time it became a bit of an obsession to be honest
