Top Ten 1970-1990 cars

[RSM Masser]

Its a M3 lookalike - same looks same, body kit, same wheels, lowered, sports exhaust so sounds nice, full leather but not M3 buttons on seats, other than that its fully loaded just missing cruise control (which I wouldn't use) last years insurance <£300, £550 for 3200, £200 for the bike - after this year 3 points from traffic taliban camera, 3 points on wifes license (take her off policy and she cant ride a bike) plus a 13K payout when I bent my first 3200 - I might have to have a rethink - or sell the children!

If you want a real BMW classic convertible then you need an E30:


That one's mine!

Maf is that an M3? Not too sure on the wheels.

No, it's a 325i with a few engine mods. Currently thinking about an engine swap as it's my toy that I like to tinker with. It's possible to fit a BMW V8 in, but I think it's probably too expensive and labour intensive. Might just change it to a 24v 2.8 from a later BMW instead.
I understand your view on the wheels, I'm still not convinced either. I originally wanted the cross spokes in silver, but as they're so rare in this fitment I had to settle for gloss black. They will probably be changed to silver at some point this year. I even thought for a while about having them done in red - very 80s!

i like that 2nd pic of the red wheels, with the silver inner badge thing....

it would certainly have a 1973 Porsche 911 2.7 RS in the list

Maf, what about Gold BBS wheels, the touring car e30 m3's had gold rims, not sure if they would clash with a red car though.

Gold??? Yuk, horrible, reminds me too much of nasty Impreza wheels and would definitely clash with the red. The car would start to look like something Ronald McDonald might drive!

 

[GransportFan1]

yeah it would clash with red, i always thoight the gold looked good on the white e30 tourng cars.

Gold wheel...no would look terrible on her......Red, they are pretty good MAF........Didn't you have Alpina alloys on her MAF..........Still looks great.
