Hi guys, just wanna share some pics of my new ride in UK, guess what?It's BMW!! It is my drive after selling my Celica (I sold it and spent most of the money to fund my 530i mods project in HK) So hope u enjoy folks!
BMW 1999 318i SE (1.9 with 118bhp)
It's not as fun as my Celica but it's value for money for sure! At least got 4 doors~

I would not say it not as fun as the Celica. I mod my old 325i engine, towerbar, swaybar, brakes, well and loads more just gose on and on and wow it gose and handles very well or better than a Celica.

I paid GBP 3400 and it has up-to-date BMW service history 90K miles on the clock (Which is quite rare in UK cos ppl just don't bother to service the car in the dealership after the 3yrs warranty expired)
And my ex-celica has slightly more powerful engine and its much lighter (Just over 1000kg with 140bhp) and sits lower,so it handles pretty good when cornering comparing with my stock E46.
How lucky you got a brand new car every 2-3years, you should tell me which one you buying!!joking

My car is a 520d LCI in Taiwan and in the English menu mode, it can't read any chinese names at all... my Moto phone list just shows symbols like @#%# for any Chinese characters and the same applies for any MP3 format CDs played as well.
