First of all, English is not my native language, so please excuse my bad spelling and grammar.
Second of all, hi! My name is Dan, I`ve been living in Portsmouth for the last 2 years or so and I`ve been a BMW fan since I can remember.
My first BMW and, to this day, my love, was a e12 525 with an ZF 3hp22 automatic gearbox. SHE was born in July `79, had a M30 Big Six bullet proof engine with an output of 110kW / 150hp and had disc brakes front and rear, electrically adjusted mirrors, height adjustable driver`s seat...
The second one was a e34 525i, made in 1994, doing 192hp.
The third one needed to be a diesel engine, because I was driving around a lot so I needed to cut down my fuel expenses, hence I bought a e39 525d, made in 2002. It had 120kW / 163hp before having it remapped, which gave it about 30 extra hp and torque went up to ~450Nm (sorry, I`m not familiar with imperial units).
And finally, I`m here researching about my new BMW, which will be a e36 m3 EVO, coupe or cabrio/convertible, even though my dream BMW is and always will be the e24 635csi. Hopefully, I will at least drive one, if not own, before I die.
Thank you and sorry if I bored.
