Got a new car - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I decided to go ahead and get a newer car while I slowly work on my 92 maxima.

Got a 1997 328i in Alpine white/Tan interior with a 5 speed transmission.
The maxima maybe a little faster through the 1/4 mile, but the bimmer is such a breath of fresh air in the handling department. And this car really moves on the highway. I raced two of my friends with 97 5 speed maximas with intake and full exhaust and I was either dead even or pulled away a little in 4th gear.

looks nice, but i prefer the older mid 80's body style of the 3 series, the newer ones look bloated, not saying i would turn one down

Hey G4ME, his car only is a few years old, not a mid eighties. The 80's were cool for what they were, but if you want something more reliable, get something newer. Hey Pezking4, car looks good. I have one white car, and I am glad you did not get silver, because there are too many silver bimmers on the road. The Maximas may have some power, but their stock suspensions are pretty weak. A new one autocrosses regularly, and he squeals his tires through every turn. This in not a bash on Maximas, but they are not in the same class as BMW.

I like the newer style Beemers better then the old square ones

pezking4 · 10-04-2003, 04:57 PM

yeah, I love the E46's too, but my E36 doesn't seem very square to me. Do you mean the E30 series?

Congrats man, take good care of the new whip.

Nice car, but I would rather have a Mustang

pezking4 · 10-05-2003, 06:46 AM

I actually work at Ford. I'd take an 03 cobra, but other than that, I like the 4 doors

Very nice car man, rock on and enjoy, you deserve it!

m0j0 · 10-05-2003, 06:15 PM

nice car! you going to do any mods to it?

pezking4 · 10-10-2003, 01:30 PM

Bout to upgrade the brakes actually. I'm trying to decide if I want to use ATE powerdiscs or just Brembo blank rotors, and ATE pads or Axxis Ultimate pads.
