Lol. Cheers guys. It's good to know what both wheels are

I've seen some reasonable 19" 5 spoke 'twist style' on eBay but prefer the ones on your old 320, well any of your BMs lol.

I have also seen some boot lips on eBay but don't know if I can be bothered going down that root. I bet the BMW option wasn't cheap.

RSR Bromley are near me, the exhaust department is (or was) Powerflow. What did they charge you for a tip? £100?

Powerflow were/are known for rusting and in some places dodgy finishing. I got a quote once years ago, it broke down something like Parts 20p Labour £349.80

To be fair, I had heard that the Bromley and Croydon branches were good ones to go to.

I may have a look until I have the pennies for an Eiseman (sp?)... not that an Eis will be worth it on mine?

Sounds like you're a natural candidate for a

1-Series M Coupe
Loads of driver involvement (so we're told)
Great M steering, chassis and brakes
Upraded 335i twin turbo that you liked so much
Wider track and more rubber, for less twitchy handling
better fuel consumption than an M3

From what I've seen it looks more than interesting, love the burn orange it colour, it comes in
