Re: My 1987 E28 M535i Updated 31/07/11

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Going to get the throwing stars refurbished throughout the winter, so the originals will go on for a while. I'll get some photo's up with the originals alloys on soon.

Yeah there's a small bit of rust on the tailgate, but have brand new genuine BMW one to replace it.
