Is this as bad as it looks?

Got the car about a month ago (325i SE Moredoor), it's got a few scabby bits but most of it is quite good apart from this bit... How bad is it? http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/4673/img8341.jpg It looked quite bad but then i gave it a bit of a prod... It got worse! http://img37.imageshack.us/img37...

Get some decent tyres on those BBS, there are many options. I run Dunlop SP9000 because they come in the correct size and have been fantastic over the last 12 months. Eibach Springs: £140 Bilsteins: £700 ish? Eibach Rollbars: £275 BBS: £150-200 Dunlop SP9000: £300 fitted VAT, delivery, labour... If...

Sometimes less is more. Who ever bought it in the first place went bonkers on the options list, it has most extras except air-con and leather, (the two things I actually want). Can you get E36 leather to fit?
