Looks great. I think they could be a great alternative to a 325i sport. Much cheaper.

loverhis, Looks very tidy, has she been resprayed?

Just had my 1985 C plate m535i resprayed in the last couple of weeks.

Only thing I would critasize is the rear looks to high, by around 30-50mm

Lol, 'Hawk-eye'!!

Nice motor - e28's used to think they look a bit tired about 10 years ago, now they look the bees knees (funny how your tastes change isn't it) looks good, i would be tempted to get more retro looking boots on it. The stars look a bit too new to me. But its still a minter, i'd love to own it!
I'll check with the manager

Thanks for the comments guys.

I have now got genuine 17" throwing star alloys so they will be put on and some photos will be updated. I also have the original alloys and 15" BBS, but the throwing stars handle the best.

That interior looks awesome, how much did it cost to have it re-trimmed, plus who did it?

Cheers

It cost £1200 from some in Plymouth, just before I brought the car.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Going to get the throwing stars refurbished throughout the winter, so the originals will go on for a while. I'll get some photo's up with the originals alloys on soon.

Thanks.
