Got this last week, finaly sold my calypso red 325i to a couple of nice zoners.

So my new one, its a 1990 320ise saloon which has been very very well looked after mechanicaly, a load of service history with this including a recent cambelt, waterpump etc etc service, been in sussex/brighton area all its life.

Jobs needs doing.....

Has rust on the rear tow eye and some surface rust on n/s rear arch.
Both o/s doors are getting replaced next few days due to flat paint and laquer peeling.
Numberplate being put back to the original, not liking the private plate thing, Regvalue.com are selling it on my behalf for £400. :D
Replace the Alpina reps for 15'' BBS or lenso's. Not really feeling the reps, if they were 16'' originals then that would be a different story.
The IS splitter is secure but the tape or whatever is used is visible so sorting that out aswell.

Engine is sweet as and although i miss the punch of the 2.5 im pretty happy with what this gives out. So smooth and quiet with the standard exhaust which is staying.

Enjoy the pic's, comments welcome......

That is exactly what i'm doing to mine, They look so subtle but give the car 100% sporty looks.

Car looks really good, I would be happy with that on the drive. Good touches like clear indicator lenses go much further to the sporty feel of a red e30. I know the zone doesn't like pina reps and neither do you but they do look smart on it. Lenso's for me though, its got to be lenso before 15" BBS. I don't rate the coachline either mate.

:thumb: Top purchase
I'll check with the manager

Sorry the pics are over exposed jhoono, it was a very bright day, did wait for it to p1ss down but it didn't.

Magpie you must be a spurs fan to say to someone shove a keyring up ya arse or just a real weirdo :?

Thanks for the comments, I'm just waiting on someone with 15'' bbs's to get back to me for a swap with the alpina reps, I hate them with a passion.

Peeled the silver coachline only to reveal a green one which was from factory so bit worried about ruining the paint when I take them off.
