It's a 320i convertible, so naturally it's beautiful. What exhaust is that though?

Each to their own but I do like the wood effect . I had a 320 saloon many years ago with it fitted and I thought it finished the interior off rather nicely

Exhaust is "wiererered " and I don't like the after market chrome "square" tailpipe with the big self tapper hanging out the bottom of it - seats are way too shiny - nasty taped up loom - sticky old black electrical tape: and what's that extra nut on the suspension top doing? Correct cover missing off the ignition coil. Boot lid not sitting flat.... er, thats enough for now... 8O 8O 8O

That tape looks like a classic 'professional' alarm install as it seems to lead to the alarm box, the extra nut looks like it is holding the earth for the alarm :?

Could it be one of those bootlids with a single strut that never sat level?

Mine had it and it went the way of everything else I thought made it look old like the chrome and defunct Alpina gear.

That will be all the stuff I am trying to put back :mad: but still undecided about the wood.

What puts me off going to the bother of putting it back is the interior is not really made for it like a lot of the British cars of that time and it looks like bits stuck on. Jury still out for me.

Yes all this, plus other comments, plus shitty balance weights on outside of 14” BBS’s, no dust caps, the trim on the horseshoe offside doesn’t align with adjoining trim, AFM by-pass cap missing, you know what I say, ‘if it’s missing someone’s been messing’.!
But do you know what is so wrong with this car ........... it’s got the steering wheel on the wrong side!!

Isn't the cam belt sticker in the wrong place though?

Diane Abbott has been an MP since 1987. She is rugged and underrated, just like a 320i. And when you get her top down... :mad:
