Just bought: 1998 BMW 328is

Picked it up for $9,300 at the BMW dealership I work at. I might have overpaid, but I get a sweet discount atfor OEM parts (10% over wholesale) so its all good. The interior is spotless but the exterior is in bad need of a buffing, paint chips repaired, and a couple of dents popped out.

5 speed manual
Black on black heated leather
Luxury package
Harmon Kardon sound system
Power everything

Plans:
Dinan cold air intake
M50 manifold (sitting in my garage currently)
New exhaust
Crystal corners
Crystal/Euro taillights
Angel eyes
Lowering springs
New wheels (maybe double spoke 1's or 2's, CSL or M^ style maybe, who knows)
50% tint (light tint to complement the black)
Etc.

Sweet ride, bro.
I bought a 93 325i last year this time. I've put 43K mi on it with no mechanical problems (knock on whatever I can) so far, stands at 158000. dialy driver.
In love with a car...is this done?? :screwy:

Enjoy your toy, they last forever!

NICE CHOICE. And you really didn't overpay. That is fully loaded. The 325iS is really hard to find fully loaded. That commands a premium, in my opinion. I had a silver 99 that was totalled by a maniac after only a year. It had every single option available I think. I loved that car. You'll like yours. Absolutely no problems. I replaced it with a 93. It's not fully loaded and I have a lot of little things I have to fix up (basically abuse from the former owner - all cosmetic). It's black on black. I'll probably turn it blue by next year.

But anyway, I don't think you overpaid. The fully loaded 5 speed is a very rare car. (mine are auto but i have to share with my wife)
