the worse wheels i have ever seen on an e30 and that alone this leads me to think it is probably a piece of chavved up scrap. Hows that for positive?

i'd hold out for a 325i m8 50 bhp more and uses the same amount of fuel.

stay away from chaved up scrap!

Dont blame you! Its the painted drums on the back that completely ruin it, would look better with the standard rims but depending on your budget there will be better e30's for that money just have to be patient sometimes :D

Thats not bad for the money, the battery tray in the engine bay looks bit nasty thow makes me think there could be more rust lurking :(

A flight to edinburgh wouldnt cost a lot but you would still have to drive back and it could be a turd when you get up there :?
