Its a 320i Cabrio :) I've been looking for a nice clean chrome bumper car for ages and this one came up, i just had to have it. I perhaps paid a tad more then i should have but its got full history from new, since 40k miles its had a oil change every 5k or so. Its got every MOT and i know the last 2 owners!

It needs a little tidy up but i'll be giving it a full detail as it needs a little paint correction to be perfect. I may also get the rims refurbed and lower the front a tad.

Other then that, i think i'm quite happy with it staying like this!

Hope you all like her!

Looks a very tidy example. A 35mm drop all round and some rear headrests will make it.

Looks a nice one and the Golf was looking good as well. A dead ringer for my mates 16v which he's building a 2 litre lump for at the mo.

Eibach 35mm are your best bet or if you dont want to go that low then original BMW M technic springs are 15mm lower.
