Z3 Short shift
Full stainless steel Scorpion Exhaust System

Powerflex Rear Subframe Bushes
Lowered on PI Springs all round

Hella Smoke headlamps

HID 8000k kit
Ltd Edn Alpina 3 spoke steering wheel
Oringinal Alpina C2.7 clocks
Rainbow components & amp

Looks very nice

Alpinas suit it better IMHO.

Looks good tongue out

As for what people say about the wheels.. The BBS look good too but due to waayy to many chav cars riding around in them make your car look slightly chav frown

Painting the centers on the BBS's in grey would make them
suit the car much better IMHO.

Unfortunately they only come in silver or black centres,

If I had a choice, I would've had the centres in Antracite..!

But its only a one piece wheel...

You don't like modified cars do you?

I think it looks fantastic. Love E30's. Ignore the comments- wheels look great. I have never liked Alpina styling myself.

Nice car.

The smoked hellas with the black kidneys realy suit the E30's and the LM's are the best looking wheels you could fit.

I'd keep it just as it is now.

Very pretty cool. I prefer the BBS's, big wheels on an E30 look stupid imo smile

Thanks guys....

not looking to do much more to it....but saying that, i changed my rear lights to the MHW smokes (more of a geniune look rather than what i did have on the car) i also put some orignal Alpina dash clocks in and an alpina style rocker cover..

pics to follow shortly....

any thoughts of doing a 2.7 conversion for a few extra ponies?
