Washed, leathered and photo'd it just before it got dark this evening.

Its a work in progress job. So far I've removed the bottle top alloys and put my spare set of motorsport alloys on her with new rubber. Got some centre caps off ADIT and got them painted to match. My old slightly worn tech2 steering wheel on and lowered it 40mm. Replaced the cambelt and waterpump and rectified a leak from the rear washers / hinge area. I've also put a cd player in it as it came with a tape deck and got some new carpet mats of ebay.

Next up is to remove the loverly tow bar... replace the rear strut top mounts , replace the rocker cover gasket and maybe adjust the tappets. Euro pressed plates and of course the plate holders. Remove the headlamp wipers as only one of them works and so on....

Looks great. Motorsport BBS's look stunning on a white touring. Cant believe how good it looks.

Any bigger pics?

I really like the look of those wheels, how do I go about acquiring a set? Are they standard BBS 15's but painted or a special for the Motorsport cars?

Looks really nice...

Cheers.

Shimsheemer - They are just the standard BMW 15" BBS alloys painted but with a diamond cut rim...

Helmi25cab - She's a 325 mate.

My fuel costs are not to great at the mo running two 2.5 engines...And obviously driving the touring alot harder than the motorsport.

I think it was 35mm but it might have been 40mm. To be honest I can't remember... :o:

Once again thanks for all your comments guys...

Helmi25cab - the cab has been my daily driver mate and is not garaged. Although recently with all the salt on the roads and amount of pot holes it just sits on the drive. I've been using the touring as I work in a garage and get the odd job done when time / workshop space allows.
