hi guys
Names Byron south african living in nz , this is my daily driver .. i am a bmw fan and never thought id own one
i sold a e39 touring and needed a run around ..i knew a local bmw guy selling one so this is how i got it , after driving it and doing some maintenance
i really enjoy it ! drives pretty smooth
the previous owner replaced the front bushes also

before
took off mud flaps , wheels and clar bar




now:
try not to look at wheel gap to much









recent shots from today after using a clay bar for the first time WOW! even though paint is no where near mint .. still need to give it a polish though..
and lowering..clean the carpet and die it clean interior properly ..and my radio and speakers are crap needs to be changed soon also

shes not a minter but that will be the plan long term ..remove rust etc
thanks for looking

Nice!!!
Canvas top??
Did it come like this? Or converted?

Welcome here, nice car! Like the wheels, never seen those before I believe, what make are those?

Believe the folding sunroof was never a factory option but I like that as well. All makes it a nice package!

Hi and welcome,

Indeed nice combo with the wheels and sunroof. Hope to see more pictures of your car.

thanks for the positive comments
shes starting to shape up still so many things on the to do list

so the roof wasnt a factory option? thats interesting ...
