Lovely looking thing!

Needs some 15" BBS IMO.

Just my opinion, 15" BBS are standard(ish).

You sure you haven't just scanned in some pictures from the brochure??

I don't mean to be rude, but how of that car left the factory in '88?

That is one clean motor you got there!!

That looks like it's come from the showroom.

The pictures look like they from a BMW brochure.

Cheers for the comments!!

The car is pretty mint but does need some work doing to it which will be done in due coarse. It's just finding a good honest garage to do the work that isn't going to rip me off...

The pictures ain't scanned lol photography is my hobby which is handy when getting some nice pics of my car :cool:

Thanks again for the comments on the pictures... much appreciated!

Took some more pictures of the underside of my car the other day while it was on the ramp...

Would like some opinions on what people think?

Does it look good?

I know the jacking points need doing and thats next on my list, I did one a month ago with the fibreglass kit thingy, it's done the job for now but will be done properly next month!!

The car looks good to me but some people with more experience may see things that I have missed etc.

It's very unusual for an M20 not to have oil leaks :wink:

I'd say that's pretty clean...

Cheers Josh.. it did have a oil leak but it's been sorted.

I just need to get it on the ramp again to clean it off etc.
