Welcome Daniel. I don't think you're quite the youngest member but your close. 25 myself. What's your insurance like on the BMW? And I presume you have told them and the tax office of the engine transplant. As for problems with the e36, none. None whatsoever. (sarcasm) You'll soon find out that BMW's are rubbish and need constant attention and €€€€'s to fix the millions of problems that they all suffer with. Of course this forum will help you fix them that bit quicker and cheaper. But they are great cars and we all love them. Alex. ps. Your welcome to come Karting with us in Mondello on the 3rd of September.

ah sure what we can do if find him and break his computer :P @flyingalex... Yes of course i have told them about the transplant, thats y it took me so long to get the car! i had never been insured on a 1.6 before so they wouldnt insure me with the new engine! it was set for 3200 on the 316i but because of the 318 engine i had to go under one of my parents names no being clever i chose my mother and now the combined insurance is just 1100 per annum ------------- |
