Re: Better pic's of the Alpina's and New Leather Interior

Neil that cab is as cool as ice and I love the chrome to bits, but the mirrors are a bit ott imo.
Drop it 40mm for practicality 60mm is overkill if you are going to the countryside in the summer.
Coolest Cab on the zone imo :wink:

Re: 1993 E30 Cabrio Photoshoot......

I dont like the third brake but other than that it looks very clean. Think about lowering it, you can always put the oem springs back in later if you want. oh one last thing maybe a front splitter either standard or iS, thats your call!!! I would go for an iS splitter then it would look sweet.
