It has got horrible wheels and a toss grille.

Let's put something nicer up. An unmolested chromie 323i or something.

The current one just looks total council-toss to me.

Maybe it could be changed monthly to the picture that wins COTM? Unless it is loads of hassle to change it that often?

the current picture i think is good. Black e30 m3 with bbs wheels. Peice of valuble history right there.

But everyone has an opinion

Plus i dont think council trash can afford an e30 m3

Definitely should be a touring up there - the one model that looked good from the start, with proper bumpers, rather than those horrible metal things that the others started their run with.

Good plan that, how hard would it be to do though?

This would be an improvement. Yes, there are OEM homos as well as modderz on here, and each to their own, but the main pic should be of an unmolested chariot surely?

You could always switch to the other colour scheme and look at the stickered up M3.

Thanks for that useful, thoughtful, insightful, erudite comment.

Still, plus one for your post count.

Well done

I like the M3 on the light theme (the one I use). I also like Warsteiner, so it's a double win for me.
