Oops by me! winkeye
I'm sure OP respects the fine job BMW did on the "is" I on the other hand feel it was nearly perfect but they missed a few things (horses) out!

Thanks guys. Totally original and rust/rot free. 96k on the clock so a few marks here and there but very solid. It will have every penny needed spent to keep it as good as possible but no extras or improvements as such, the M3 is my priority.

It's my every day car so I don't have to get my M3 out of the garage and put it back in, in the dark, just for short journeys over the winter.

Now if I had an M3 also! I would have happily left my "is" standard! :D

P.s. Gonna need a pic of M3 very much!

Tomorrow, when I'm back on a computer and not this iPad thing, which I struggle with for that sort of thing. I'll also post a pic or two of my old E36 M3 Evo and E46 Alpina B3 if you'd like.

Very nice! The e92 is a great looking car but I honestly think that they look better and better with age

I bet that e92 m3 is a great car but modern bmw looks do nothing for me.I think the e46 was last decent looking bm, that B3 Alpina looks great. :D

Nice cars. I like the e30 a lot, if it were mine i would throw some 15 bbs on there, I don't know why bmw bothered with the 14's! It looks really clean though

The e36 is also very nice. The alpina i find a bit bland and the e92 maybe even more! Although Im sure when sitting behind the wheel my opinion would change :D

Roof mounted aerial like the m3 and touring. Was that an option on the iS?

All audio equipment on UK E30's was dealer fit including aerials, i have seen other saloons with the roof mounted aerial before.

Nice selection of cars FZB!

Some of my previous cars include an Estoril E36 M3 evo coupe, an E46 B3S convertible and currently an E46 M3 coupe.

Agreed with tha881, 15" BBS would be an improvement on the iS.
