Lovely looking car, think the Jimmy Hill really suits the colour
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

An E36/Z3/E46 rack is a must!
Best mod for an E30 imo.

Oh and that chromie, none chromie looks the nuts....

Not a fan of clear/smoked blinkers though :eek:

Looks awesome!!! This car is what's made me decide to dechrome and do body coloured bumpers instead of fitting the whole Tech-1 kit.

Anymore pics of the rear end? What a better idea on how it looks with the boot spoiler on without the kit.

get em weighed in ! :D

looking real nice Pete, not many will know how rare this car is,
IIRC UK dealers were only allowed 1 shadowline 320i each in 1986,
less than 200 were made, I have the brochure somewhere

I'm liking the clear lenses. I'm glad I saw it because I was thinking about fitting them to my car. Now I know I will.

Where did you get your Jimmy Hill from?
