Interesting sticker. My '86 2 door came from this dealership, and iirc there was a picture of a porsche on one side of the sticker. Long gone now, sadly.
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is

Modern version

Circa '85

Cicra '87

Circa '98

Sytner Nottingham Circa '88
Just had these made up as replicas of what BMW put in the brochures :

e30topless said : Proper BMW's have 4 headlights, last of the run was the E30 and E34/E32 anything after that is just complete shite
