This is excellent! Never seen some of these colours in the flesh before. I particularly like the idea of Zobelbraun Metallic; I didn't know it existed on the E30! :)

Yeah, I guess those wheels have been on the car for about 15 years now, It origionaly had 16" Hartge wheels when my friend bought it, but he changed them for the 17" Antera Opus 3 spokes (very of the period, but they do have a nice little touch, in as much as the valve lives in the centre cap if i remember right).
