Most of these photos were between 1800 and 2000 meters high,so lots of snow in the winter and they crack a lot.But were I live,theres no snow and the roads have holes. :D:D

Nice1 fella, no problems then?
Im looking to drive to Cyprus (via boat from Italy and Greece) in August. i've only had my first E30 for a couple of months now and im still getting to know the ins and outs of it. I want to get it in tip top running condition first. I'll TRY and cruise at a steady 70ish but petrol cost will probably be high. still, it'll be more fun than sitting in an airport for 2 hrs and a plane for 5 each way! cant wait :drive:

After last winter,this summer was the time for a little refresh to wheels,interior,new old radio,suspension and paintwork.
For the moment i only have the wheels done,radio and the suspension.
New front shocks and H&R all round. ;)
Made some caps for the Alpinas,as I couldn't get a set in the meanwhile.Hope they look original enough...
