Introduce yourself!

[Jack-ATLBimmer.com]

Hey there everyone,

First off, welcome to atlbimmer.com! Hopefully this is the start of something big. Let's get this started with a nice thread where we can let people know a little about ourselves.

I'll start, my name is Jack and I don't actually have a BMW! Which may seem odd for the owner of such a place, but I own a 1996 Miata that's supercharged. I like most things automotive and would love to own a bimmer some day. I started this place in much the same way I started my more established project, mx5atlanta.com. I noticed there isn't a specific place for Atlanta based enthusiasts so here it is.

There is one BMW in the family, and that's my dad's M Roadster which is an absolute blast to drive.

Well here's a picture of my car,



Post up a little bit about yourself, and once again, welcome!

My name is Neil, I drive an 84 325e, which in the next two weeks will have a m50 with 3.2 cams, transmission as well from an e36, and dinan chip installed...i've been waiting to do this swap for a while now. I have had this car for a year now, and is still my favorite vehicle I've bought. I am planning on going to school to work on ecu mapping in the very near future

Welcome lads, nice pair of cars! Both of them very sharp looking.

[Sawyer]

Hello!

My name is Laurabeth, I'm 20 years old and live on the south side of Atlanta.
I actually wandered over from Jack's other forum, mx5atlanta.com

While I don't currently own a BMW, I've been on the search for a clean e21 to have as a daily.

This is my current car, a 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata with a couple of things done to it.




Of course the only good picture I can find of my car, I'm not the one driving it!

[Jack-ATLBimmer.com]

It's always good to see a familiar face sign up! Welcome again Laurabeth!

[Thighs]

Hey sawyer, its jesse form over at mx5atl! good to see a familiar face over here.

[tokeahontas]

Farris.. or Subigrl. This is my first bimmer, I work at Subaru and go to school. :]
No mods yet.. but plans are made and now I just need to make some more income

[JohnnyC.]

Hello Everyone!
I'm JohnnyC.
I do not own a BMW.
I do, however, own a Honda Accord V6 6MT.



I know a few of you from other forums, hello again to all of you!
And to the people I do not know yet, I look forward to meeting you!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you take a seat at the table. Is there any reason you would like to share with us about why you've shown up naked?

[Meatball546]

Hey, everyone.
I've got a 1996 328iC. So far I have:
Ceramic brake pads & Bav Auto discs
Upgraded brass caliper bushing inserts
Debaffled stock airbox
Bilstein sport shocks and struts
Half-assed fan delete mod

In a couple weekends, (when I have some money...) I'll install stainless steel braided brake hoses, CDV delete and flush the whole system,
K&N Apollo closed cold air intake system, and that's about it.

It took me about two years, but now I really don't like convertibles. I'll admit, I don't have a prime example, (and I'm sure the prime examples are excellent) but I'd much rather go with a 96-98 328i sedan. I'm tired of lugging around the extra weight associated with having a convertible along with the reduced chassis rigidity. The seats are a pain in the ass to fold forward to get people and stuff in the back, the automatic roof mechanism doesn't work, and the roof has a small water leak in the rain that drips right down onto my left leg... I'd be much happier in the lighter, stiffer, more practical sedan. My plans for the 328 are multiple suspension upgrades, S52 swap, and possibly forced induction... but I'll likely stay NA. Here are some pics.

[Jack-ATLBimmer.com]

Well I'm a bit biased towards convertible myself

Ever autocross it?

[Meatball546]

Not yet. I'm planning on it once I get a job. I've been to an autocross event and it was a lot of fun.

[Jack-ATLBimmer.com]

Yep, there are quite a few other bmw's out there too. In fact that reminds me, I need to pop over onto the solo forums!

[RichE30]

Hey guys.. Rich here. Also known as "Nygdup" on bf.c and "RSainato" at Solo Atlanta.

3 BMWs:
1989 BMW 325i riding on H&R Sport springs (#4 or #41 STX at your local autocross depending on who's driving)
1989 BMW 325ic
1997 BMW z3 (#1 BS this past weekend at your local autocross)

[matthew]

Hello all! My name is Matthew (as you can tell by my user name). As some of you know, the car that is in the banner is my old 325is track car. I am a long time autocrosser. I figure if others are posting pics, ill do the same!

[Jack-ATLBimmer.com]

Welcome lads!

Not seen you at an event in quite a while Matt, been up to much?

Have not been to many autocrosses. I was at the second to last event in a STU STi. I have sold my 325is and am picking up a 328i.

[Jack-ATLBimmer.com]

Ah, I thought you had a 328i initially. I know that Brian Bell is a beast in his. Was that Joey's Sti?
