Does anyone know of the best way to clean BBS 'basketweave' wheels? They sure attract muck. I went for a drive today for 80 km south of Canberra, Australia and wheels I cleaned recently need cleaning again. At 26 degrees C there was no snow of course and the hood of my cab was down. My previous cab ...

My E30 convertible is Heidi also.

Why? because the name is Germanic, the car is Alpine White (Heidi lived in the Alps) and she 'hides' in my garage a lot geddit?

I've had a 320i with bottletops and compared to the BBS basketweaves which I now have on my 325i they are MUCH easier to clean. If anyone can give me advice on how best to clean basketweaves I would appreciate it. Also my basketweaves have a plastic centre cap which I'm not thrilled about. So yes I ...

Diamantschwarz, Delphin, Cirrusblau and Royalblau were also reasonably popular. Much rarer colours were Luxorbeige (I owned a 320i one...

I have an E30 cab in Alpinweiss II.

I call her Heidi, because it is a Germanic name, and because Heidi lived in the Alps and because she 'hides' in the garage a lot!

Hi Great work!. I'm from Canberra Australia and owned an 1988 Luxor beige 320i auto convertible. I loved the Luxor Beige and found the colour very rare in Australia. I've never seen another E30 cab and in the 8 years i owned it only saw an E30 sedan in Luxor. I now have a 91 E30 cab in Alpinweiss 2....
