That's right, you did not read wrong! Maxboost finally bought a car! But what did he buy? I know you guys don't care but I'm just so happy right now! Maybe you guys can guess! I'll have the car here in 2 weeks!:clap:

At last, I am no longer one of those guys who always talks about getting a car but never does get one:rofl: :thumbsup:

I was so close to buying that car it wasn't even funny but I figured, my sister has a 01 2.5RS, didn't really want two subies in the family.

I could only wish!

Its not like a big secret or anything, I just didn't really want to say anything until I actually have the car here. CAuse you never know, things do happen!

I factor in many things, including price, mileage, practicality. I didn't want to blow my hard earned savings in one car and be broke for years.

So I bought a 2000 323I Silver/Black Leatherette(Vinyl) only 15000kms. The car is located in North Vancouver, going to be flying down there in a couple weeks and driving the car back.

The car is as stock as stock can get. I think the last owner just took the msrp+freight+tax and that's it! LOL

Hey Clem, are HID kits available to order from the factory or aftermarket? Anything you recommend?

No one told me what Max was getting. I kind of put 2 and 2 together as I am the admin of a certain forum he's currently visiting. ;)

Both actually. Personally I like the OEM style since they have that nice "pearl" projector.

Drop me an email or IM anytime if you need mod advice for your car.

Is the OEM kit expensive? I have a feeling its going to cost an arm and a leg! I think "lighting" is going to be my first objective. I have to do things in stride!

Probably start out with Clear corners/euro taillamps/Hid or ricer bulbs lol

HEY I HAVE RICER BULBS!!!! :madred: :guns: :madred: :guns:

Lighting is a good start, check the classifieds on the "other" site's classifieds board. There are some for sale there. Also like I mentioned before I can get you wholesale pricing on OEM parts new.

My recommendation is you go OEM for the lenses. The aftermarket never fit right.

Hey, I will take you up on your offer! I'm definitely getting the corners/taillights first. You can PM with a price if you like. I've never bought anything in the classifieds online before, something tells me that I might get ripped off. I am really risk averse! LOL:confused:

No worries. You pay the price at the dealer and you know you're not getting ripped off by someone in another country right?

No pricing off hand, just let me know when you want them and I can get a price for you.

btw: anymore specs on the car?

1 big recommendation is paint those mouldings. I have a black car and it made a world of difference. Imagine what it will do for silver.

Can't recall, I'll check my paintshop bill when I get to work tomorrow. I'd get a fresh set of trim to paint. Wax, black renewer etc... will hinder the paint from sticking no matter how much you prep it.

They have Michelin Arctic Alpins on the 15s. Awesome winter tire. The 16s have Bridgestone Turanzas. Let me know and we can talk price. For the right price I'd even drive them down for you ;)

I know what you mean by pay cheque to pay cheque, I'm at that point right now. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

the shocks will actually hinder the drop a bit. Look at the H&R cup kit. Right now I'm running H&R race on OEM sport shocks with no problems.

This is how I figured out...........................

E46Fanatics.com (of which I am an admin) got a new member named Max_Boost. Whom of course starts posting looking for info. In his user profile it states location = Calgary, car = 2000 323i. Now Max has been posting he got a new car. Now 2+2=Max bought a bimmer :p
