Welcome...
what year/model is it and where abouts in the South East are you? I'm near Camberley/Farnborough.
There are a number of meets being organised with the next one at Beaulieu (see Wessex section) on 18 July followed by one at Munich Legends on 25 July. I think the details are in the Coupe Forum.
Hope to see you at one of them.
Oh yes, pictures would be great.

i'm in basildon, essex and i got myself an e34 535i sport in diamond schwartz black has all the goodies on it too!!! snadstone leather, full computer, electric everything and it all works!
will try to make it to the beaulieu meet. one of my mates was saying about it.
Nice e30 m3 in you sig. my mate has one in diamond schwartz as well. his isn't a cecotto or ravaglia though, but has got a few of the evo bits under the bonnet!!
i'll get some proper pics up of mine soon as i've given it a good clean. as you have a liking for the e30 m here's a nice pic of my mates one.

Cheers..
The M5 is Cosmos Black and the M3 is Macau Blue.
If you can make Beaulieu it would be great to see you...we will most likely be taking the M5 to that. We hope to have both at the ML meet.

if i can't make it to one i'll go to the other. the missus thought she was getting out of the car shows etc when i got rid of my last car.
i'll get my mate with the e30 m3 to come along to what ever show i can make as well.

This:
a 1983 635CSi Auto. 21 years' old, still on metric TRX wheels ( *blurgh*), mostly original, apart from the outer wings, nose cone, headlights, front indicator lenses, and Irish personalisation.
The airdam paint has fallen victim to fallout from gritting lorries, so isn't quite as spotless nowadays...

looks sweet!! and glad to see a pint of the black stuff!! haven't had a pint of that for a while now. best i get myself down the local at some point!!
mine had a set of the metric wheels on it before i got it and then they added the e46 style wheels on once they found out how much it would cost them to get a new set of tyres.
i've still got a metric as a spare. it's in pretty good nick (just needs a good clean, i don't think it's even got any kurb marks on it) but i'll try to source a matching one so if i do get a puncture i don't end up going down the road lop sided.

Horsey, between being on here and keeping that shine going, do you actually work?
