The mags usually seem to want stuff thats either well out of the ordinary or stuff thats in timewarp as-it-left-the-factory condition.
Your car doesn't tick either box BUT that shouldn't worry you as it looks awesome anyway. That interior is

e30topless said : Proper BMW's have 4 headlights, last of the run was the E30 and E34/E32 anything after that is just complete shite

it's an attractive and well presented car and the red leather is very nice (and rare if original), but as said it will struggle to perhaps gain a proper feature as it is nothing out of the ordinary (except looking extremely tidy) or that hasn't been done before. Don't take that the wrong way fella as she is a stunner

Oh right, yeah, I did think that the mauritious blue with silver leather was the best colour combo untill I saw this black with red leather, OMG, STUNNING. Big Gold an polished rim bbs rs and that is my dream car.

I remember this one, yeah very nice car indeed- totally love the oxblood, looks sooooo kool and running on 18" Imolas iirc? One very lovely car, but yeah gotta echo re: feature car, it's not different or original enough for a mag at the moment. But I do love it

thanks for all your comments, dont know what too think realy some mixed ideas about feature cars dont know if im being bitter but the standard of some cars featured is sorry but SHIT ! they look good in photos some but in real life crap with a very poor standard of work AND BEFORE SOME DOPE STARTS some are very bloody good and impressive which made me do one , i took 14 months building mine and i done it all my self from paint to leather ( i build show cars ) and i thought when you do a bmw you do it suttle so its modderd in a tastfull way but still keeps the orignal theme when i spoke to a bmw mag all they asked was what body kit and have you got 19"s has it got a turbo, lambo doors? LAMBO DOORS ITS A BMW !!!!!!!!!! GURRRRRRRRRR, to me all it seams they want is chav wagons if i wanted to do that i would have got a golf !!!!! ok i have not gone with bbs's and engine conversion but the motor is old school and thats what i love about it old school mods old school colour with some updates. some of these cars done now is not taste full what so ever and to me its not good reading materal i wanna see class and peoples hard efforts but done in a proper way WITHOUT SPOILING THE THEME OF THE CAR !!!
+ SORRY BUTS THATS THE WAY I SEE IT

The general content of PBMW mag is of that variety, ie bodykitted, big wheeled, lairy painted cars. TBMW mag features tend to be mint standard cars, racing cars or preformance tuned ones.
To be honest the 18" Alpina reps and angel eyes will do you no favours with TBMW, the is a couple of feature writers for TBMW on here and i'm sure they will agree.
Does look very tidy though and i love the red leather!

Here here, if I had a mag it would be on f**in front f***in cover for f***'s sake. It s fucking GEORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets not cock around tho, if that had obsenely polished BBS RS it would make me save every penny that came my way and then stalk you for months trying to convince you to sell it. And as for Lambo doors, you should of just put the phone down on em as soon as they mentioned it, muppets....
Subtle's the name of the game, I've got just one mod and as a purist I sometimes question it as its a fake alpina valance, I just like the way it looks. I'm well up for a tech II kit, wats the concensous????? Should I or should I just stay normal???
