As far as I can tell its original paint, the car has full history, only one stamp is non dealer.

Neer been wrecked etc etc, Its quality I am really impressed, the engine is very quite.

As for plans, well I have the SE skirts on order from BMW, then i will get the lot colour coded, plus BMW mud flaps. All standard additinal options over than that, not much plans apart from looking after i!!!!!

Thanks for the kind comments.

eah it would look nice a little lower, but it handles well enough and looks good enough for me as it is! I am a bit of an originalist (if thats a word!). So only subtle changes for me.

Thanks for the kind comments all.

Have to agree about keeping it original, when you get one this good why change it. Great looking, hope you enjoy it
