New car!

[robnut]

Finally bit the bullet and actually bought something;

1995 Bmw 328i sport
91k
fsh


Very happy so far

 

[Ed]

Looks nasty but the 328i is a great, great car.

Looks alright. Nasty wing mirrors. Not lovin' the rims either, but they don't look too bad.

 

[Morba]

alloys look horrid and the indicators need to be smoked, other than that, its an E36, not much can be said really, we all know what they look like

 

[robnut]

Smoked indicators are on the cards, Mirrors are real heated electric so staying for now. Wheels are very marmite, I'm looking for some original bbs sport ones.

Thanks for the comments

Ouch. A nice 328i Sport in a good colour is a handsome car but something about that one just doesn't work. I think its the fake angel eyes making the front end look horrid. Are you planning to return it to standard?

 

[yantorsen]

Why does every chav who does up a car choose those mirrors? not calling you a chav mind, as I assume you didn't put them on yourself.

Because that is an E36, and they are E36 M3 mirrors, and most people want to make an E36 look like an M3.

I'm not sure if its the picture angle or just the reflection in the paint, but it looks pants!

 

[robnut]

Thats still the photos from the advert, Ill have to take some with a decent cameras as it looks real dark in the picture. Headlights I like and they dont look so prominent normally.

Are they? Didn't know that. I seem to see them on Audi's and Fiesta's and just about every other car that's been chaved up.

Like most cars, people put things from models above the one that they have.
Doesnt make them a chav.

Fake angel eyes are horrible. Make it a nice standard 328i Sport on the 17" BBS wheels and it'll look lovely.

I didn't realize they were M3 mirrors. I see them on all sorts of brands of cars.

 

[robnut]

A few years back every car on the road seemed to aquire m3 mirrors, they were about £30 in halfrauds. These are real m3 ones but they still have the stigma attached.

 

[mjt]

those angel eyes are nasty, but for some reason those mirrors don't actually look that bad
wheels look alright though

 

[Morba]

they are called M3 style mirrors by most fake styling companies i would have thought.

 

[yantorsen]

Ah ok, well I guess it's not so bad since it's on a 3 series. I just can't help but think of all the chav wagons I see with them though when I look at them

 

[Lopéz]

The mirrors look fine. The M3 has them so they're hardly going to look out of place on any other 2 door E36. Wheels look alright too, though I think I'd have the centres silver to brighten the car up a bit as it's a very dark shade.

 

[robnut]

On that note, anyone know a wheel refurber in bristol area? I think back standard silver or a anthracite colour would set the wheels off better. Or just buy some sport rims or maybe some other bbs, but I dont know what other bmw bbs fit without needed archmods.
