Hi! I'm new here. Back in July I got my first BMW: a black 1995 318Ti Clubsport without a sunroof. (It's also the first manual I have owned.) I bought the car knowing that it needed some work, in particular the breaks were REALLY bad. Since I bought it I have doing a lot of work including:
-New break pads, rotors, calipers and lines
-rear shocks(the fronts were done about a year before I bought it)
-rear shock mounts and reinforcement plates
-new swaybar endlinks and bushings -new front control arms -H&R Sport springs -Power steering reservoir and power steering fluid
-transmission fluid, diff fluid
The list goes on... I love the car, it's been great so far. I have taken it to two autocrosses and plan on doing some more in the spring.

Clean clubby, Welcome! BREAKS are what you take when you're tired of working on your car. BRAKES are what stop your car when you're driving it  | | | | | 12-07-2011, 11:27 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 |

The second was probably more important though...

If you drive your car with worn out BRAKES, you might crash and BREAK your neck  | | | | | 12-08-2011, 01:14 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |
