Popped another couple of photos on, please add any photos you have after a good day out on some good roads, would love some insights to top driving roads suited to the illustrious E30...

P.S. Dan320is - Thanks for the inspiration and thanks to you and Rav for the advice, i'm very happy with the results.

Hardknott or Wrynose pass by the looks of it - cracking driving roads - have done them in a couple of my 325i's

Behave Rav! Never buying wheels ever again... :D

Indeed a day out having a look at the Hardknott and Wrynose passes. Just about stayed dry.

future car/pic of the month contender i feel. Cool car, cool place. Canvas worthy photos. Belongs above the mantlepiece!

Everything on your exterior appearance compliment themselves nicely together, you could park that car anywhere and it would still be a great photoshoot!
I'll check with the manager
