gloss black is better, but black is better than colour coded

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I'm not really a fan these days, some cars they suit and some they dont. I used to have a set on my old 325 but it did come with them so I never actually bought them. I think being black on yours looks good tho!

Nothing council about my touring pal! (estates are cars that are longer than the standard hatch back versions. An e30 TOURING is actually the same length as an E30 2 door and 4 door.)

If your lights cost that much dont you think it would of be wise to spend the money some where else on the car like freshning up the suspension with all new bushes? Thats what i did first on my touring and it was rewarding to drive even better now it has H&R anti roll bars on it!

Also it is my touring on the promo flyer dont see no IS shit on there do we

this thread is not about car model, its about the brow's, its another marmite thing, i like them but not colour coded unless black, and deffo not the mono brow, some like black'd kidneys some don't, but ffs stop slagging each others cars off, we are all e30
if there wern't people like me,
with cars like mine,

Didn't say your car was council I said the Ultimate BMW show was a very council show.

As for the bushes I’ve already done all that, new bushes all round eibach springs, bilstien dampers but I kept with OE roll bars, because I don’t hit the track. Either 2.8 24v next or a paint job think I’ll do the engine first.

Why not buy a proper E30, makes you look like a paedophile driving an Estate besides you seem to know what you’re doing with E30’s so why waste your time on the worst model in the range, pov spec 316 saloons/coupes are worth more and are more desirable than touring’s (unless you a paedophile of scrap metal merchant)
