I also like the basic black leather and shadowline on silver paint. That's why I went with the black andodized exhaust tips and I also added a shadowline-tip antenna. It's all tied together.
Also added a Traffic Pro radio, which is a better match to the interior than the Blaupunkt Toronto. Here's a pic when I was still testing it out (which is why the antenna is in the cubby).

Nice vert! What's the weight difference between 323i ltw flywheel vs. m20 325i single mass flywheel? Did early trans come with different gearings compared to later g260? Also, your e-brake lever looks really long..
If you're in Toronto let's grab a coffee and talk about e30s some day!sigpic

Depending on how decent I can get get the exterior looking, I may install my recently refinished BBS RGs. Right now I'm running euroweaves which match the vert's patina pretty well.

Over six years later and my convertible finally made its topless debut at SoCal Vintage this past weekend. A brand new key was appropriate for the occasion.
It was so fitting that I was able to meet the former owner of this car at SoCal Vintage. He confirmed a lot of what I already knew or suspected about the car and how it got to the condition it was in when I bought it. He said it came out really good, and that his father (who handed it down to him) would also get a kick out of its resuscitation.
My plans now are just to enjoy it in its "surviver" condition.
An advantage of moving the battery to the trunk and an iX washer bottle in it's place, is a better view of the headers and MK valve cover.

The guy who wanted to part it out was at Vintage?!!!"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

What key chain is that? Is it a dealer item?
