Here's a nice 6 I saw on the way to my lunchtime sandwich :)
Right front wing was a bit rotten but the rest looked pretty good. Black leather sports seats and what appeared to be genuine 17" alpinas with locking centre caps. No alpenis badges, just Mtech which I guess are "aftermarket".

Malton BMW plates, so it would appear to be local to me!

My apologies for the phone camera not really doing it justice....
E30 Touring 0.35 cD - more slippery than prison soap :)

that is a truly nice looking 6'er :cool:
lucky you for seeing such a stuning car on your lunchtime as all i seemto see round here is vectras, corsa's & aother sorts of mundane borring crap.

if you see it again & its owner try & get a few mor pics of it.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)

Kos knows more about these things than most of us,but that looks to me like a lateish M635i,about '87ish.Shadowline trim and bodykit bumpers etc.'M' badges would be correct and original wheels were possibly the metric sized type that are expensive on tyres....
Front wings are also a bit costly,perhaps why it's a bit frilly!
Seem to remember that BMW contracted out the bodybuilding to one of the specialist Italian coachbuilders,so the rust proofing is not up to even '80's standards.

Shame, but still one of my all-time favourite cars. :)
