Newbie

I'm new to these parts, not only because I just joined but because I was previously a die hard dub tuner. I currently drive a silver '01 325i sedan. I started off like I always do, with no plans to modify. I got the windows tinted, and now the bug's back. I'm looking for new wheels now. Hopefully I'll get to know some of you. -Squints

Welcome! I myself actually did the opposite...I just bought a mk2 GTI with a 2.0 16v swap but before it I had only bought BMWs. Love these cars.

The VW bug never hit me, i just like the look of the little car. Im selling it, not impressed with anything in it so far.

Really? Every review I've ever read about the GTI is always overflowing with great remarks about the car. How well it handles and how it's just a plain blast to drive. Maybe you're just too spoiled with the bimmers

And to the new guy...

For one, everything in the damn thing squeeks and rattles and shakes. It IS a fun car to drive, but I am always dissapointed in that it is fwd. It takes the fun out of it for me...

Going from an e36 M3 with a very good suspension setup and powerplant, I was def. spoiled!

Yeah, I could see that. I had a friend who had a GTI vr6, and I rode in it a few times. I never drove it, but it was fun to ride in, especially on the back roads. But I did enjoy driving my 318is on the back roads though, even though it was underpowered, the rwd was fun, and it handled really well for a (at the time) 11 year old car.

I miss that car
