Has anyone got any images/websites of really retro designed E30s? I've seen the previous model looking pretty sharp with minilite alloys and stripped down but I've never seen an E30 with a similar look.

And that, apart from the fact that i prefer the chrome, is exactly the reason i want to keep mine as original as i can.Outside at least.
