Hi guys, I have been hanging around here for a while and decided it’s high time I introduced myself.

My name is Theo and I’m 31, I live in Uxbridge and I’m a MASSIVE Bimmer whore. I’ve had 5 BMW’s prior to my latest which is a wonderful ’06 Sapphire Black Coupe M Sport. To put things into perspective, I think BMW’s are the ultimate car the Z4 is my favourite car EVER and Quattro is for girls... let me tell you a little about my previous cars in order of ownership all of which have been modified by myself on my mum’s driveway. I’ll list all the mods I added myself.

1# - 1995 316I Compact, purchased as a CAT D, restored by hand to original glory as a 316I sport and sold at a profit.
(Sadly no picture)

2# - 1996 318TI Compact, purchased shortly after no.1, modified with the following, Full Mtech kit, Hella angel eyes (horrid), Supersprint exhaust, Bilstein suspension, Custom induction kit, Big bore Throttle body (BBTB), Remap, Under Driven Pullies (UP) 169 BHP.

3# - 1997 328I Auto Cabrio, got greedy and ran 2 cars for a while, Full Mtech kit, Supersprint exhaust, Decat, BBTB, Manifold conversion, Bilstein suspension, Dave.F induction, UP, LSD, remap 223bhp (sadly suffered an untimely death due to my ex flatmate running out of talent and spinning the car into a concrete divider and wrecking the drive train and bending the chassis; that’s what happens when you drive a Bimmer like you drive a Saxo)

Pics ain’t great but I don’t have my camera on me right now.

So there we go, this is me and mine and it feels great to be a part of this forum; when I complete the research and fabrication of my new mods I'll share them on this forum... :driving:
 
Correction I use the term M Sport out of habit from my 3 Series days, it's merely a Z4 Sport Coupe. The front Bumper and Bonnet are from the Z4M because I think thats how the coupe should have come, or simply becuase I prefer them. :wink:
 
oh ok.. didnt think id seen one. autotrader dealers keep calling cars m sport, thought this might be the first really one.

Who did you use for the m bits and were they expensive
 
billygilly, They are USUALLY expensive. A bonnet alone (brand new) in primer is around £900.
 
Ebay is your friend, I wanted the bumper originally and he told me he had both, so I haggled him down to £400 and they were mine, the bonnet is the biggest steal I think, it's awesome. I want a stripe on my car, not sure where though, just a stripe that says... "Hey look at my awesome stripe" :)
