No, they're genuine wheels. I've seen the car a few times now. It's usually pictured next to a green one which also has daft wheels attached

There was a thread on stance works with that car, a green one with gold splits and another with M5 throwing star wheels but in black with gold edging or similar.

It's a similar colour to the touring Jozi just been painted.

Used to be my screensaver. Think it's epic. Colour works really well with the e30 shape and the headlights are a nice touch contrasting well with the blue. Normally yellow headlights look gash

Jim that one looks much better, its a nice blue, the yellow headlights do fit the blue but then look ropey on their own and needs more yellow on the car- can picture it in alpina form with yellow alpina stripes would look pretty mental, or even just a think yellow pinstripe with the yellow lights would make the yellow lights work

Still totally legal, as long as the inner pair are the same colour as each other, and the outer pair are the same colour as each other as well, but can be a different colour from the inner pair.

Just because a car has an M tech 2 kit does not mean its a sport.

What blue is that? Is it laser?

Laser blue is nice and they should have made it available for the 325i Sport.

I want to say it is Estoril Blue. It's on the short list if I ever repaint my Tech 2.

Its on E30.de. If I've translated the right bit, I think its Mauritius blue, which is possibly an E34/E36 colour??

I'm pretty sure Mauritius was available on late e30s, I have certainly had a K plate cab at mine, with factory paint.

Yes, the last of the Motorsport cabs were either calypso or Mauritius but Mauritius was available on normal cabs and tourings from '92.
