What up

Hi, I've been around a while but haven't posted much. I've always liked BMWs but have an Alfa. I'm American, have been in Singaopre 7 years, and have had my car since Dec. 03.

If I were to buy a BMW I'd go for an older M3. Nice to meet everyone.

Hi Andrew,

Any pics of your ride and that old 7 series of yours?

Cheers

Re: What up

Haha sure! I can ask my brother to send some pictures of it. It's getting kind of thrashed by now but it also does its own thrashing! I don't have the BMW pictures here...give me a few days.

Below is my car if you really want to see. (Not quite as exciting as the BMW that won't die, especially considering this is a BMW forum!) I hope these files aren't too big...
 
Re: What up

Thanks. Like most GTAs in Singapore, it's manual. Generally, only the 2.0s have Selespeed, but some (very few) of the newest GTAs have it. They also get bigger calipers. But I like 6 speeds.

Are those rims in your picture? Damn fierce.
 
Re: What up

Yeah if they're what I think they are they do in fact make them for Alfas (PCD 98). I know a guy with them but his aren't so shiny...
 
Re: What up

Nice car! What kind of older M3 you looking to buy? There are a few on the market right now actually.

Hmm, were you driving along CTE towards SLE last evening around 7ish? If I don't remember wrongly, your car was behind mine... nice and bright xenons! :)

Btw, welcome!

Well I'm not actually looking for an M3 to buy...but if I were looking for a BMW that's what it would be. Something fast that I could actually afford...or is it something I could afford that is actually fast? Haha.

Re: What up

Haha that was me! I saw you at Havelock when I entered the CTE and you got stuck behind that ambulance, right? I turned off at Woodlands Ave 2. I wanted to nail it but there was waaay too much traffic. My girlfriend says she loves the color of your car (so do I).

Not stuck but followed that ambulance on purpose with the hope that it will help clear up the traffic in front for me! It did to a certain extent... ha ha. Anyway, I overtook the road hogger on the left and turned off one exit before yours. Saw you on the tail of that road hogger as I turned off. Thanks for the compliment and see ya around! :)

Thanks. Yeah, I've torn up the NS highway! I go all the time; at least twice a month. Going to PD Saturday with about a dozen other Alfas. WE should do a BMW/Alfa drive sometime!

OK man, here they are. My little bro sent a few. Go to the gallery and look under 7 series. But here's one of them here.

Note that the odometer says 322,000. This is in the US but is in km. My dad brought the car over from Switzerland in '84 and although the speedometer has been changed to mph, the odometer is still in km. And the guy who did it rewound the odometer a few thousand km. It's probalby about 350,000km.

Also note that one of the pictures is of the dash and everything is in German. The 728i doesn't exist in the US. Never has. We got the 733 and 735; no 728, so this car is extremely rare.

Re: What up

BMW.MY got a Alfa crazy guy too...driving the old Alfa GTV....he hit 120mph on B roads !!!! Crazy bugger...you should speak to him.

Maybe you were one of those 147GTA that cream my friend's Skyline GTT....damn funny when he told us that he got blown away by a 147.

Story was like this...they were doing around 180kmh on NS...then they saw a 147...so the cars behind told my friend who happen to be the lead car to go pass the 147 on the left...so thinking that it was a 2.0L....he just went to the left and proceed to overtake the debadge GTA....and then behind got so many pple see (Evo and STi etc...) see his Skyline kenna torn apart by the GTA !!!!
