A Photo Tribute to a certain 1997 328i
 

I bought my first BMW about two years ago.

It was a great car, and from it came my BMW obsession. Today, May, 26th, 2006, at 5:23pm, it now passes on to it's new owner.

All of you on this forum know chrisdoesntknow. His brother (16 years old ) just bought it for his first car. He registered on the forum a few days ago under the name intheothernews.

So let this thread serve as a tribute to the fun we've had over the years in the 328. Not all things are mentioned in here, but the majority are.

Floorboard lights, later removed.

My girlfriend named this car "Zoom"... hopefully it'll be happy with it's new owner. And hopefully Chris will make sure he remains an active member. :thumbup

She'll be missed :cry

But it's for the better :D

dont worry ill take good care of it, we live close enough that you can stop by and see it if you get withdrawal from it

i cant wait to drive it on tuesday, i wish i could of gotten it sooner

I think i just shead a tear.

wow, lots of good memories of that car. lots of harry's troubled tech threads.

one question tho, when the hell did you get two naked women to make out in the back of your ride?!

Oh, a lot more happened that night than them making out. :woot (that's Chris Worrell in the car btw, I was taking the picture)

Certain perks come with owning a BMW. :thumbup

Congratz again intheothernews! :) :guitarist

im pretty sure i hate you now.

Great pics , especially the upsides of owning a bimmer!

Haha. :D

i'm still suffering withdrawal, how the fuck is it that i've been obsessed with bimmers since the very first time i saw this 328, and my brothter gets his license and THAT 328 all in a month.....

and ya know, he never once thanked me for finding him this great deal (and we all know that harry's getting robbed for letting this go)

CalliditasCastor: erm, oops
