Up until about four months or so ago I was running a BMW E34 which I had had for nearly 4 years,
I'd bought it with a knackered head and paintwork that looked like it was emulsion it was so flat and moss growing in the drip rails,
1 x reconditioned head and about 12 months of polishing this is how it looked, (she even ended up with a small picture in Total BMW after a Bimmerflex event,)

Eventually, amongst other things, she developed an electrical problem and a number of other minor issues which meant I needed to decide what to do, I'd already bought an E30 Cabriolet to rebuild (& transplant a 24v M50 engine into) so I made the decision to let her go,
After a few weeks I mentioned to SWMBO that a fella at work was selling an E30 325i Touring which had only had two owners from new & was in a very dirty but reasonably good condition with a few minor mechanical issues, (knackered fuel pump), the wife said she'd buy it for me so now I have this (as it arrived, not yet polished properly etc)
So far, all I've done on it is cleaned it a few times and replaced the typical BMW cord interior (ripped to shreds) with black leather,
