Wellp, I'm Outta The Supra Game

[ChadMKIII]

Been tons of fun here, I'll miss you guys, but the new buyer just towed away my car today. Rodknock was just too pricey for a rebuild, so I sold it as is for $2700. Pretty good price for me. But, when I end up getting the money for a second car I'd like to buy another one.

Anyway, here's my new baby: BMW 325is
-2.5L Straight 6, 5-speed Getrag tranny
-Leather Interior
-Sunroof
-Turner Motorsports Chip
-H&R Springs/Bilstein Shocks
-17" ///M-Spec wheels
-///M3 Catback & Muffler
-Clear Corners & Tails
-Variable Valve Timing

She's a ton of fun to drive, very good handling, a lot more composed thru corners than my 4x4 Supra. Not quite as fast by the numbers, but feels faster (smaller car). I miss the turbo and targa, but ya can't have everything. At least with the sunroof I can have sky above my head more often.

On to pics:

That is a beautiful car! Sorry to see you leaving the supra tho. What is going to happen to it?

 

[ChadMKIII]

Thanks!
Sold as is for 2700 to someone w/ 5 Supra's in the family. His uncle is swapping his own motor out for a JDM 1JZ, aiming at 700+hp. The 7M from it is going in my old car. It'll have some pretty decent mods too, it sounds like.

wait, rk was too expensive but you bought a bimmer? Lol anyway nice car, my cousin has an identical one and it's a blast to drive.

[Big Wang Bandit]

Very nice!!

 

[foreverpsycotic]

nice BMW. e36 right?

 

[relax]

so when are you going to put in a 1jz? :naughty: :naughty: GL on the e36

 

[ChadMKIII]

Thanks guys. Yeah, E36 (which is why it was cheaper than doing the rebuild I had planned )

There's actually a guy on one of the Bimmer forums who's putting a 2JZ in last I heard. Oughta be interesting to follow. Sounds like those are somewhat common swaps.

 

[johnathan1]

I go on e46fanatics.com regularly, and I must say...the Supra community is definitely better, the bimmer people are a bunch of pricks.

 

[Syris]

how much did you pay for the bimmer? Sharp car....

 

[ChadMKIII]

^Some, not all. I found the SM vs SF of Bimmers: I'm on both Bimmerfest & Bimmerforums, the fest is a lot more fun and friendly (and somewhat smaller) than the forums, but I do think the Supra community is the best.

 

[bigaaron]

You'll be back.

 

[suprarx7nut]

Brooke's gone?!?! Been fun PM-ing you about life's great unknowns

Have fun with the bimmer and hope to see ya back in the near future

Well, usually what happens when someone sells their car is they have enough money to buy another car.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

very nice car! sucks to see ya leave
enjoy the bmw
that shit's got VTEC yo

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

Yeah nice one! As if 2700 was enough for that car.

 

[OneJoeZee]

He probably had other money saved up you know.

Enough money to buy a new car but not enough to fix his Supra the way he wanted to.

 

[Wills7MGTE]

Nice BMW, very good cars but expensive to fix. HAHA You'll come back, maybe not to mk3's but maybe to the jellybean supreme.

My friend just bought the same car. After his wrecked his first one though. :3d_frown:
