Guys it occured to me the other day, after seeing another is in Bedford, how many we actually had floating around..So after some investigation I have come to the grand total of 7 possibly 8 :cool: I never thought that there would be such a following, in a town that is not exactly even large really....Can anyone match or even beat this?? Of course taking into account ratio's....cars to town and so forth.....

Aiiiiight

They were both definately is's. Sounded like them and both said on the boot so I assume so. Pretty standard except for the white one. The greeny/grey is a 318i i assume and the dark red brown thing with the kit is an m40 i think. Seen a white 325i sport aswel!

Bootyman - You make me laugh geeza :bla: :bla: You've probably got loads to do other than check out some old skool cool, I mean you have got an e30 too - I think.......

Blue Mk2 - Yes he is my brother m8, he done a 180 in Lurke Street Car Park and smacked the front into the wall :cry: :cry: He has since got a new wing and thought while he's at it he'd get the M-Tech 2 Kit, which he is in the process of fitting...

There is still a large following of the is and it seems that it will stay that way for a while yet......I love mine, not just coz it's an e30 but coz it holds sentimental value to :cry: :cry: :cry: (how sad am I)

Aiiiight
