Hello to all.
I recently purchased my automatic 1996 318i 4 door sedan from the original owner.
This is my third BMW but it has been many years since I parted with a 533i. My hobby is Porsches. I currently have a 78SC that I drove for fun and love to tinker with. This has been a hobby for 28+ years (I hope that doen't give away my age too much

).
The Bimmer is in very good condition and will serve as my commuter car for the nine minute drive to the office and back. There are a few things I will want to do to her but most of them will be from a maintenance and not a performance perspective (it is a 4 cylinder automatic after all). I will get it professionally detailed this spring to remove the small scratches that have marred her paint work over the years. The interior is just about perfect but I would like to get a factory AM/FM/CD indash unit to replace the Pioneer piece (the blue color of the display is bugging me plus I want to be able to make use of the CD changer in the trunk). SO if anyone knows of an affordable stock head unit please let me know.
Cheers,
Steve
How do I add a picture???

Hi Poorsha welcome to the site, i hope you dont have a problem uploading your pics i would love to see them.

poorsha · 12-10-2008, 12:48 AM

Thanks all but I can't seem to upload the pics (it is now way pass my bed time). I will try again tomorrow. I also just realized that I don't have any good ppics of the car. I will have to work on that

Thanks for the offer on the wheels Cacciatore08 but at this juncture in my life I am getting rid of stuff and "trying" not to buy more.

S_A_C (Sean):
nice looking 540.
I love the condition under the hood.
Beautiful
