Clean IX. I remember the schwarz IX you had about two yrs ago. That one was clean too. If you dont mind me asking how much pick this one up for.

[audiquattrot]

thanks fellas! This has been the smoothest running E30 I've had ever.....this one is staying w/ me for a while.......even if it is an auto =) Its a perfect balance as a daily/winter driver.

thanks bro.....the car suffers from the infamous paint 'checking'....it looks like a DeLorean (which I'm beginning to notice is a prob w/ other metallic E30s from this yr)......so the car needs paint.

Other than that the car is very solid w/ no rust...none under the battery valence or license plate lights.....which is hard to find on iX's...

Looking good mate... Love the rims! :pimp:

That SONAX don't look too healthy, but where you pick that up, I'm in dire need for something other than a toothbrush and drain-o

LOL thanks buddy! :D

i got it from www.detailersdomain.com Stuff isn't cheap...but worth every penny in my book. There was caked on stuff there that wouldn't come off w/ scrubbing....and this cleaned it right off. Hasn't hurt the finish off any car I've used it on.
