My BMW 318i, Or 'Claudia', as she is known.

Well, Here she is.

A 1986 BMW 318i 'Executive' pack, which means it got rear headrests and rear Disc brakes over the standard model, plus a subtle 'M Technic' bodykit (Mainly Side Skirts).

She's given me a bit of grief recently but she's a wonderful little car. Bought for the Princely Sum of $2000 Au (Around 800 Pounds) she's in need of a wash and some TLC, but she's a runner, and a good one at that.

Any Canberran users give us a buzz and I'll be sure to pop around

The small pictures are also courtesy of my sisters digicam.

Any Questions, Comments, or other welcome.

Good stuff, we have one the same colour, but it's a 323i. Nice to see you have a proper gearbox.

There was another Automatic one out there, but it was a full $2000 more expensive. Small Auto cars are rarities and highly prized by the Young Female market (we should know - to buy my sister an Auto we had to find an '87 Holden Astra - and It cost more to buy than Claudia!) and no doubt because of rising fuel prices smaller cars will get more expensive.

And it's only cheating, Johnny, if the badges are the right way around

The autos drink more fuel anyway, so you're far better off this way.

It's a great car with an excess of fur!!! And is that a carpet over the "tablier"?
It will be fun and reliable enough. And it's still a good looking car. Congrats on ti.

You're right, it's not supposed to be regarded as a little car, but by today's standards it is small. Cars are gettign fatter everyday.
