Just picked up an 08

kristobias · 10-13-2010, 04:33 PM

Grabbed it last week. Awesome car, what a motor. Also own an E36 M3 and a 73 2002tii. Used to own an E46 M3. Guess one day I will get an E30 M3 to complete the experience.

Looking forward to this board as a resource for modding. Shopping for wheels, springs and some minor engine stuff

RENN Spec · 10-13-2010, 04:35 PM

I see that the Meisterschaft exhaust already came with the car. Nice pick up and really nice 2002.

cnngratsz man, looks really clean

You have a great eye. The Meisterschaft is fantastic, esp at WOT.

RENN Spec · 10-13-2010, 04:52 PM

Is that a Canadian spec car?

No it's a US car. Canadian dealers are still holding more in their cars and there isn't a lot of pre owned selection

RENN Spec · 10-13-2010, 04:57 PM

Ah that's cool! Just a friendly reminder, US spec cars will need TPMS while Canadian ones won't. GL!

Congratulations. It looks very nice.

The E30 came much later than the 2002tii ... not the same thing. I really like that E36 though. Nice collection of BMWs!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!

positiveions · 10-13-2010, 07:24 PM

congrats mate. this is what I call a BMW Fanatic. Sharp 2002. I used to have the same exact wheels on my MKII GTI. We are talking about 1 hour to clean the wheels. This is back in the day when Toothbrush was the only thing that used to fit in those triangular space.

sehrgut · 10-13-2010, 07:26 PM

Nice pick and welcome onboard!

Did you get m-dct or 6mt?

Aint it the truth...they are a pain to clean, both the barrels and the lips which are raw aluminum. And you're right they are early GTI wheels rebuilt with a slight stagger for the 2002.

6MT, still getting used to the clutch pick-up which is light to me. My E36 has an AA Stage 2 clutch which is heavy (heavy enough that the OEM plastic clutch pedal broke and I replaced it with a Mason Engineering steel pedal)

Sounds great! I know the clutches on the e9x are LIGHT, i tried my friends and that surprised me a bit..but in a nice way!! Lol at your OEM e36 clutch pedal!

But good thing you switched it up a notch!

ES_TRADER · 10-14-2010, 09:12 AM

is your window tinted on the 08 or does it look that way from parking in the shade? if it is tinted, what shade is it?

ersin · 10-14-2010, 09:59 AM

The 2002 looks to be in great shape. I know it's "old" but that's a very nice looking BMW. And you have a great collection all around. Good luck on getting an E30 M3 to round out the collection.

Cheers.

Thanks. The 2002 is a lot of fun and it is an "analog" experience in a world of "digital"

BenTrovato · 10-14-2010, 12:09 PM

looks awesome, congratulations!

adc · 10-14-2010, 12:37 PM

Also perhaps an E21 Alpina B6 2.8 - as close to an E21 M car there ever was - to complete the experience.

Congrats, clean car.

anthony @ eas · 10-14-2010, 12:45 PM

Congrats! Your e36 looked awesome too.
