        Sorry, but being the asshole that I am, I had to take this one and run with it.

        :D

        Sucks to hear about the car, Vlad, it was looking hot!

        And as far as Mini wheels go, the only thing stopping them from fitting on an E30 is like Curt said, the smaller centerbore. However, any competent machine shop could easily machine them out to 57.1, for probably pretty cheap.

                  Good that no one was injured, how many cars where involved and what did the other cars look. I'm curious seeing how well the Mini took the accident what the other cars looked like. So Vlad no any good body shops? lol

                    very true, the new abarth kind of looks like mini



                    if it was available here in the US, I would get it, I came back from Italy about a month ago and all I can say that the new Fiat Abarth is uber hot !

                    thanks guys ! Very true, Mini is VERY SAFE ! very hard hit in the front, but both doors open without any problems. Modern safety is no joke, they really put the I in the design !

                      You know Vlad, looking at the Abarth, if you take all the added things on it, to me it would look like a new model Fiat 500 (Cinquecento).

                      It still looks shcweeeeeet!!;)

                          I would take a fiat 500 over a non s model mini. The interior is sweet.

                            Holy shit that Mini really absorbed some force! Pretty amazing the windshield didn't even break though. Glad everyone's OK.

                                Put a sticker on that one! Look at rails, i can see the right one is bent at 45 degrees!

                                I say let the insurance company total it, take the money and run!
