I had a 323i last year - those 13inchers aren't Alpinas, they're BMW "Turbo" alloys.

My first 3 series was a silver E21 320 I bought new in 1982. Owned it for just over 3 years and did 37000 trouble free miles before being seduced by a an E30 323i (They had electric windows!). The E21 had amazing build quality. The only things that ever rattled was what I put in it and by comparison to other 'small' cars it was like a limousine - very quiet. I used to say it was the best car I've ever had. I say 'used to' cos I believe my current Sport has taken that slot. Just worked that out - 23 years of 3 Series!!

6 cylinder :cool: it's all you need!

what a cool car!

e30 wheels have the same bolt pattern but i think the offset is different, meaning they'll either stick out too far :cool: or need spacers.

someone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong!
