I had planned to do a little photo shoot but literally ran out of time so old pics will have to suffice I'm afraid.

Ideal. :D

Apart from them being made by the sacred hands of hartgerian temple virgins and forged in the womb of the hartgearth mother, whats so special about them?

Are they light and strong? Thats all I'm after tbh, well... that and the pleasure I'll get from popping tyres off the rims of such cherished wheels.

And cotty, yes, it was a case of spend days and days polishing them, or rubbing them down and slapping a coat of matt black on. Lazyness won.

ti wrote:hi - fairly new around here, seems an ideal way to introduce myself :wave: great to see so many cool cars

my touring is a 325i, got it earlier this year and love it (fast enough, good looking, reliable)
used to have an early 90s cavalier, so despite being a touring, this is actually smaller than my last car.
royal blue metallic is obviously the best colour :wink:
needs a few bits and pieces (new bonnet badge, wheels, better steering wheel), but they're just small things as the mechanics are sound, and the interior is in almost mint condition.

Greetings from the Isle of Man :D

This is my old 325 tourer with recaro seats, OBC, ESR,W, M and the ideal plate :twisted:

Totally standard..unlike the white one next to it in the final pic winkeye

However my vote goes to the orange Tourer - it's a one off
