The life and story of my e46.
It all started when I was 16 (now 18) and me looking for a first car. I was originally looking for an e36, because thats what was in my price range. But my dad mentioned that someone he works with was selling his 1999 323i for dirt cheap. I asked what was wrong with it and he said it has 195k on it and it's an auto. Took it to a shop, had it inspected, turned out its in SOLID shape. No subframe damage, no leaks, no nothing. I bought it.
here begins the picture story
first day I had it home




Oh man do I remember the nights before I had it registered, even before I had my license, that I would just sit out in the car with the radio on a good station and just relax thinking about the possibilities of this car. Never knowing it could get me where I am today.

breaking. necks.


Then the transmission blew, for the second time, but this time I didn't have money to replace it. Had to sell it. Loaded it on the trailer and off she went.


thats the new owner on the right

Hopefully she to a good home. I miss her already. I miss looking out my window and seeing her hard parked in my driveway. I miss the compliments, the looks, the ambulances that had to be called for people's necks. I miss the pictures I could take of her. I miss her being here. But for now, its on to bigger (hopefully literally) and better things. I can't wait to see what I come up with next. But trust me I will be around. You'll see my pictures, exclusively for StanceWorks.com.
I hope everyone has enjoyed the pictures and my car over the past 2 years and didnt get annoyed with the quantity of them hahah.
