Not all Turbos had the script...

The first batch did, but after the German press had a pop at BMW saying it was intimidating and encouraged bad driving it was removed although I suspect most owners added it as an extra!

I've just bought an Inca Orange 2002 Touring, you would all cry if I told you how much I paid for it and its not a crap-heap either

Had a few electrical issues with it but they are really nice to work on and so simple, really nice to learn things on like electrical diagnosis.

I am after some 15" E30 BBS alloys for it, would love something a bit more period like Mahle but they look smart with BBS on.
From some angles and with standard steelies on they can look rank but slap some 15"s on and they instantly look cool see here:

Why the hell would you do that? I think that the owner should be made to watch a whole episode of Big Brother whilst being burgled by Michael Barrymore. Slap that man!

I parked my touring next to a new Yaris the other day, and my E30 looked dwarfed beside a "small city car"
