    Guys. Guys! GUYS! No, seriously, guise, I'm back!

    Introducting my brand new to me 98 323is, in the wonderful Avus Blau :D

    Picked it up today for $3200 which would normally be a lot for you folks down south, but at 212k with 0 rust I consider it a steal! 

    *Thankfully the Bank of Girlfriend came through with an interest free loan and allowed me to buy the car!

    Clutch has less than 10k on it.

    Tires all have less than 10k.

    Interior is super clean, although some parts need attention.

    Paint is super clean (considering WI).

    Wheels are shnazzy looking IMO.

    I luv luv luv luv luv it.

    Bad:

    Has a Dinan badge on the rear, I will surely remove it soon.

    Shift knob is FUBAR, feels like it's going to fall off in my hand.

    Paint chips on hood need attention.

    Headliner is beginning to sag in various spots, want to replace with black piece.

    Front struts are beginning to leak, Koni + H&R race in the future.

    Needs clears, although I actually dont mind how the orange pops with the blue paint :eeps:

    Glove box button popped out on the drive home.

    I'll try to get some more pics later, right now I'm going to put some miles on it and continue smiling like a moron :D

          Thanks guys!

          And Earl, my man, I appreciate you putting up with and answering my vague and annoying calls/text messages throughout the process! I owe you a Taco Bell combo #7 and a back rub!

                              Who am I kidding, that's what I want for my car too...

                                Thanks brother!

                                I am definitely thinking M bumper in the future (probably this winter). First I gotta fix the little issues first!

                                For instance, my key just spun a full 720* in the ignition, so I see a new tumbler in my future...

                                    Thanks!

                                    Tomorrow I'm going to stick the headliner back up, attempt to polish the headlights, and try to find some local plasti dip for the kidneys. I hate chrome...

                                    Also, going to attempt to drill my ignition tumbler to prevent it from wrecking itself. My key was spinning freely today and nearly left me stranded... No me gusta.
