very neat. Glad to see at least a very select few appreciate the E3. It is a great car and very much underrated (except for the sexy butt of the E9 which haunts me in my dreams, I would choose the E3 over the E9 any time. It´s the better car and handsome in its own way)
When sourcing the beltline trim:
Also try to get the original slim small stainless wheelarch steel trim. It makes a huge difference, making the car look more "complete" and "grown up". A bit like mascara...
I´ll post some pics of my E3 if and when I ever get it presentable enough for my own tastes, and try to prove my point.
I agree about the original wheels, the do look very correct and tidy.
Only, the car looks slightly undertired with them. The optional 7x14 ET 11 are a lesser design (Alpina, Alpina look alikes, BBS, actually good designs, but they look too "young"), but give the car a much better stance. Yours is the prettier wheel, the others give the car itself a better look.
And interestingly (never would have thought, but I´ve learnt from personal experience with them) better directional stability. At higher speeds (80-120mph) the E3 tends to be quite "floaty" on the 6x14 ET 22 with 195/70. The 7x14 ET11 fixes that even with the same tires.
Very nice Bav. Keep us posted on progress please...
