    Hello guys, I've been lurking around this forum for couple weeks.. thought I'd introduce my car here now. I recently picked this up. It's 1991 diamondswartz 316i with m40..
    It was imported from germany by PO back in 2007. It's got some baisc euro stuff like ski pass, rear headrests, euro grille, smooth bumper trim, euroweaves and smileys in the one side..
    The price was bit steep for base model but it was 100% rustfree stock(In ontario canada) that's been dealer maintained by PO.
    for now I replaced stock 3 spoke steering wheel shifter with nardi wooden classic and z3 wood gear knob..as well as several small things like broken window crank, cracked rear cigar tray, etc.

    Next thing that I'll do is to repaint those strange bumper trims and grille with black..and maybe a heated sport seats..

                        Looks great!

                        A few folks on here are selling individual euro smilies so it shouldn't be too hard to pick one up so you'll have a matching set.

                          M40 FTW!!!!
                          such a sweet euro only motor!

                          car looks like a nice clean car, remove the chrome things from the healight grills and paint the bumper trim black and it will look great!
