How do you know it's not leather?

Are you really going to ask the vinyl king a question like that?

[Lair]

It was a serious question.

I though maybe he called and asked or he has a scratch & sniff monitor.

Those Hardy and Beck wheels are quite rare.

1985 325i?

Refer to post #5.

[CorvallisBMW]

what's with all the "NEVER" in quotes like that? Sounds a little too fishy for me. Along with the never-to-exist '85 325i thing, and the fact he said he's never washed it with water, makes it sound very unbelievable to me. I would be suspicious

wasnt this car for sale like 6 months ago? I know i have seen it previously...

[sticksdaman]

closer pics of the wheels?

[TDE30]

Google yields very little for Hardy & Beck, sigh.

[T3rd Ferguson]

mmm hardy and beck. i'd buy the car just for those wheels!

Here's a tip: if the trip meter is zeroed out, the odo is probably broken. How long that one's been busted is open to question.

Hardy & Beck were the US provider of Alpina performance parts and an Alpina tuner in the '70 and early '80s. The relationship soured when Alpina became an official car manufacturer, rather than a tuner company. They wanted to ensure the Alpina brand was only applied to cars built by them or under license. The only company they licensed was Sytner in the UK, which did the RHD variants.

Not only were the a retailer for Alpina parts, but they also had a parts catalog of their own. I remember seeing a HB turbo for low compression M30's in the back of this month's Roundel.
