Hi new to the group just picked up my 1990 320i se
Coming from a Sierra sapphire cosworth I love this era of cars and had a 325i sport about 15 years ago 😀
The car is in great shape and drives as good as I remember them when new
My plans are to enjoy it until October until mot runs out then the resto will begin with one bit of welding on the rear arch and sort the paint out then look at either a 2.5 or 2.8 conversion

You’ve got it all going on there,the interior looks mint,I’m a big OEM fan so the wheels are not doing it for me,but each to there own,nice 320.

Thanks mate yes it’s mint looks unused😀
The wheels are growing on me and most likely will get replaced when I start the resto

Calypso is definitely one of the better colours. I wonder if there's a surviving calypso touring out there?

Never available as a standard colour for the Touring.

What do you mean by standard colour? I remember seeing one in Holland and didn't simon13 have one too?

AFAIK this colour wasn't offered to UK Touring customers. Could still be ordered as a special, of course.
