Time to formally introduce myself

I've had the car now for about 6 weeks at a guess and really starting to enjoy it more and more now.
Here are a few pics taken today up on the Dunstable Downs
The car was registered on the 1st of august 1990. Does that make it the oldest H plate
H+R 64/40 cup kit went on last weekend, next port of call is polly bushing the rear end and working towards the front, H+R ARB's. Then its a case of sorting all the imperfections on the bodywork that I'm not happy with. (No rust justs stone chips and little parking dents)
Oh and read into supercharging it some more.

I have no idea what the wheels are. They came on the car and there is nothing on the inside of them to say what they are either. Apart from being the wrong offset. Got the original wheels out in the shed waiting for the parada spec 2's to go on, that are sat next to them.

I only intend to replace the old with new. The wheels were on there. They'll stay as I like how it sits on them, but I do have the Original wheels for it, for when the summer arrives. The selling point for me was the extensive service history. Shame it got lost from 2000 as there is no bmw history for it, from then on. Plenty of reciepts for it mind, which is always a good thing

. I'll be getting more pics up of it, don't worry.
If you have any more history on the car, I'd be very grateful as I would like to peice its history together.
