Hello From Dorset

[ConvertibleClaire]

Hello everyome,

i have been looking for a 3 series convertible for some time now and have finally found one. Today i picked up my 318 convertible, first registered in 2003, the car has 25000 genuine miles, magnolia leather interior, wood pack, light pack, pack pack ! sat nav, xenons etc etc. So I thought I would say hi here.

is this the right place to ask a few questions?

I was wondering if anyone can help me find the original purchase cost of my car? will BMW help with this? My partner is a Porsche nut and he has contacts at Porsche who will supply details of cars and how they left the factory, trim etc wise and I wondered if BMW offered the same service?

Also can anyone tell me if I can up the oomph in a 318(2.0) and is it worth it?

I drove the car home today, over 150 miles, never missed a beat. love it already and it isnt due its second service for another 7k !!

nice to meet you all

Claire

you can do a few things to up the power in a 318 but it depends on how much you want to spend.if you want real power though the 325 or 330 are the car for you.the 318 will never be "quick"
