Done a few things to it, but with no rust anywhere and only 56k on the clock, I think it's lovely.

Looks great! But why has it got a 320i badge on a 4pot car? :?

I think it's lovely too. Colour coded mirrors would be a nice improvement.

Ooooooh get you! I knew that some wee nyaff would bring this up to try and show some knowledge.
Fella, i've just purchased a reconditioned M20 2.0l engine from a specialist company and am waiting for a few other bits from BMW to get it fitted.

I just thought i'd get the badge on first.
Once the engine is in I'll get round to changing the exhaust and a few other bits and bobs.
Is this okay with you?!

Very clean and tidy chromie.Where did you get your rear number plate surround (Ultimate Driving Machine).It is a nice finishing touch to the rear end.O and front plate as well Ive just noticed.

Ah - Ebay special - think I may change them though.

Gheko - Silverknowes coast - looking over the firth of forth towards the bridge.

I'm going to get a set of Mtech springs (don't want anything lower than 20mm front/back) fitted as soon as the car is back from the BMW dealership (getting an inspection II done and full suspension bush change) and i'll also get the BBS's refurbed and keep them. Part of me wants to re-fit the steelies with the original hubcaps and sell the BBS's to cover the cost of the springs....mmmmm decisions!

Thanks again for all the kind words!! :cool:
