but 10 minutes hard work and some help from some hero's (scott and michael) and it was looking presentable again :D

Looks very good indeed, Chris.

It's E30's like yours which could make the Dealers' plan to promote the new car backfire.

Cars looking mint mate. is it just me or do the lights in the dealers realy show off the car well? when my car was there it realy did shine and the paint looked realy deep like your's. that e36 looked quite nice too

Did you get alot of people asking you about your car?

Also what seats are they? the bolsters dont look like the normal ones? :?

I think it's a close tie, the new coupe is the first BM I have liked straight off in quite a while a very pretty and capable car, in the same way the e30 is really

looks really good chris, I think it might be time for a re-spray on mine get rid of those stone chips :(

the new coupe is nice, however i prefer the rear lights on the saloon, the chasiss and handling on teh new e90/92 is superb........and they have some awe inspiring power plants.....i really must get out in a 335i......the 330d is astonishing too

also, this is the first bmw i years where i haven't been trying to pick the best of a bad bunch as far as wheel design goes.......they are really looking better and suiting the cars much more

Did the dealer sell any cars while you was there?

i got talking to a sales person and he said he sold 4 that night at Ԛ£40k+ and that there were 12 people who came to the launch to see the car that they had already bought!!!
( they had bought it before even seeing it and the launch was the first time they saw it!!)

money to burn :mad: :roll:
