  • My first car, an E36 convertible.

    Hi everyone,

    First off: my car isn't all that low. But, I'm sure not everyone here has a car that's slammed to the ground.

    This is my first car. I bought her with my own money last October when I was 15. A 1999 BMW 328iC convertible. Just a tad under 160,000km (100,000 miles) now.

    I'm 16 now and I only have a part-time job, but I make do with what I have.

    Some info about the car and what I've done to it so far:

    - Fern Green metallic w/ green soft top
    - Sand Beige interior
    - BBS RC090/Style 5s with gold centers and polished lips
    - Smoked lighting all around
    - DJ Auto Euro Ellipsoids with FX-R 3.0 retrofit
    - French high beams and fog lights
    - KW Variant 1 coilovers
    - Carbonio intake
    - DTM tip exhaust (sounds fantastic)

    Some pictures, taken with my Canon 60D. C&C on the photos are welcome.

    Really old photos:

    Maybe one day I'll give her some more low, but as it is now I can't get over the speed bumps to get to school.

    Some newer (ish) pictures:

    At least everyone will know it's you when you scrape over them... The last picture is great and I like the car as well. It's a good start, maybe a bit lower but it's your car, so your call. Welcome to S|W

      Doing it right for a 16 year old. I wish I had the knowledge I do now, back then.

      Keep it up, can't to see what comes out of it.

          Thanks, guys.

          Any suggestions (aside from more low ) for what I should do to the car?

          Aside from maybe an M3 bumper, I can't think of too much more I'd like to do to the exterior. I would like to get S52 cams, an M50 manifold, a tune, an LSD and a couple other performance-related things, though.

                I wasn't sure how well-received my car would be to the community here, but so far so good.

                      Edited some old photos, added to OP:







                      Going to bed so I can't edit any more tonight! I'll likely edit some more another day though. I'm in love with the last one.
