Well done mate, hope you have lots of fun with her. Your car looks beautiful, really clean. I only got my first BMW a couple of months ago but I still love it (Even though it is a money pit...... :cry: )


Welcome :banana:

:wave: aright dude, welcome to the zone :thumb: do you mind me asking how much that motor has cost you to insure?? i pay too much as it is on a 325i at 25years old, would be interesting to see how much you pay... i could do with a giggle, i remember when i had my 1st e30 at 18yoa and the insurance was absolutly silly think it was somthing like Ԛ£1400........... :( it costs me Ԛ£680tpft at 25 with 7 years no claims :? i personally think thats a rip off winkeye WELCOME ANY WAY DUDE, SORRY TO BORE YOU......... IT IS LATE THOW :wink:

Welcome to the Zone dude :mad: 8) 8O

Very nice looking "is" you've got there!!

Trying to get cream leather for your motor, secondhand will be difficult. I've got Beige Leather Recaro in mine.....Your best bet would be to get them re-trimmed to get the cream effect!!
Would definately look the nuts though!! :bling: :bling:

If its an open diff then it could be hard/impossible, best bet is to get a decent lsd thats not shagged!

You will struggle with open diff, no donuts unless you abuse your car silly in the wet. LSD fitted and you will have no problem. Wouldn't wanna be shredding those expensive tyres though mate!! Get a pair of 14" bottle tops with sh*te tyres to go on the back if u wanna smoke around a bit...
