How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Here's an E30 M3 in Taiwan that I have found on youtube.

At the beginning, you don't really know what to expect, plus the music is fairly annoying. It is interesting to see how they work, in what conditions and what their idea is of a restoration. It is fairly different to our standards is the least I could say, but this example is a nice try. Lots of time, effort and money spent, so respect to that.

No expenses were spared except on the engine and drive train... aaand all the gaps poorly fit. But hey, it's another M3 saved from becoming a soda can!

You'll soon understand what I mean, here is the links to the two part video:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Purists, be warned, you will faint.

I expect the Taiwanese will be most offended by referring to their country as China
