Hey guys

South African Newbie here...

I just wanted to introduce myself and my 1989 325i

Car started out as a 325i auto but did a 5 speed swop about a month ago... She is stock standard for now... Just added a 3.64 LSD.

Here's a few pics...

Heres how i got her...

Then with a little bit of time this...

Then I got rid of those horrid 17" rims and added original 16" alpina's narrow and wides...


Image

The rear 8J

Image


Got a set of Lenso BSX in 16" 7.5j ET25 (dont worry. Im hanging onto the alpina's)

Image


Added a set of sport seats...

What do you guys think so far?

Will be putting on the Lenso's soon... Just need to figure out what size tyre to get...

Well, I think it's fabulous!

Welcome aboard.

PS: Love the Alpinas and I really like the look of those Lensos ~ very traditional with a touch of "today" about them. Good choice.

Thanks AlpineAde

It has taken a while to get to this point... I have a few more things to sort out, like the body work, re-cover the interior... Etc...

Thanks c1alpina

Im in two minds about it... Dont know whether to keep leave them on or put the lenso's on...

I think the lenso's would give it a nice look...

What you guys think i should do with the interior? Keep them in that "Uberkaro" cloth or redo them in black leather?

The black on white looks cool and the wheels look great! Loving the staggered look.
Not in E30s any more :(

The pina's look sweet, but those lenso's will look great on a white car. Get some pics up when they're on.
