I'm new to this site and just want to say "hello" and show you my new 320i cab BMW!!!

As it stands with 1 years MOT & 6 months TAX it only owes me £1800..

I'm undecided weather I like the motorsport rims or shall i go Alpina's?

Looks smart :thumb:

Personally i'd change the front lights for a set of smoked hella's or DIY smoked head-lights, and just spray the orange part of the rear clusters red.

On the wheels, i'd get something with a deep dish on there, not really a fan of alpina's

Just my opinion though.

Niether. Both are far too common on E30's. As said above, get something dished on there, 16in max, but wide (9J+)

I'm also new to "the zone", but welcome anyway :)

I meant to tint the original rear lights. They normally have the indicator part a really horrid orange, and all you do is tint that part red.

see here:-
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... chtint.htm

With regards to the front lights, it looks like you have the clear cluster lights off ebay, which don't have projector lenses, which in my opinion is a step backwards.

Smoked hella's are as follows:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=015

or the DIY's are here:-
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... hhella.htm

With regards to the alloys, anything from borbet would suit it nicely, there's also brock wheels, image wheels, Azev's, RH's...the list goes on and on!

Obviously this is all just my opinion, and you should do whatever you think is good as it's your car, just telling you what i'd do if it were mine.
