Smiths of Bloxham, Milton Road, Bloxham, near Banbury Oxfordshire. I must have counted over 10 in there. Earliest was a 1983 Y plate 323i manual (no dogleg or LSD!) in Polaris silver and very complete. About 3-4 red Tourings, Diamond black 320i on an H with 14" BBS.

Cheap too and well worth a sniff about. I bought a complete E34 black leather Recaro trim for Ԛ£60.

Yeah but it's not worth nicking stuff as it's so cheap. I had a set of genuine 16 inch Alpinas with caps and mint Kumhos out of there - Ԛ£100 the lot and I've still got them! Well, I bought the wheels, a Momo 3 spoke steering wheel and blue Comfort leather 2 door trim for Ԛ£150.
I've had 4 LSD's out of there and Lord knows what else.......You've gotta be quick though. I went down on the offchance a few months back. I stopped at the services for some brekky. "Ah fuck it, half an hour won't matter". Got there just as some bloke was starting taking the black heated Recaro leather trim out of a 325i Touring. :cry: If I'd kept going and said 'fuck breakfast' that would have been mine for Ԛ£60 - along with the two 325i heads, OBC kit and 3.91 LSD I bought that day! :D

Yes it is - shame really because it wasx clearly a decent car - and it's got factory air conditioning and the huge radiator.
