Well some of them at least.

Twice this has happened now. On both occasions they have enthusiastically pulled alongside, wound down the window and asked "do you wanna sell yer wheels mate" referring to my Alpinas. They don't even realize that they will not fit.

Anyone else had this problem? :screwy:

Sell would have been replaced with something else beginning with "s."

good point.
ive had someone stop me in a garage though because they recognised the reps as being from an e30 as they still have the alpina centre stickers even thuogh theyre on my vauxhall van. it was an e30 owner but not on or aware of this place so hadnt heard of the legendary fuzzy cosworth touring. :D

not deliberately. the rear lips had to be ground away with it grounding out over big bumps. i think the shocks are fooked.

This was on my Touring Harry, I should have made that clear. The M3 is currently having some serious rust issues sorted out by a well known expert on here. I really miss the old lump.

All I get with the M3 is "do you want to sell yer car mate?"
