The style 32s look good but would be better in lighter silver IMO. Have you got the covers for the M5 wheels?

Don't know a lot about it except it was being driven very gently every time I saw it, so would imagine it is in quite good nick mechanically.

a bit of playing around this afternoon , test fitting e46 sport seats into the e24

the front holes line up , but seat is not quite centred to the steering wheel

( you e30 e36 guys will know all about this std feature in your cars)

so I think since I have to make plates so the back holes have somewhere to mount I might as well put the seat in the correct centred postion

about 30mm over to the outside

might make a few plates to suit e28 ,e24 e30 etc fro e36 or e46 seats etc.

but they are so much more comfortable than the std flat rubbish seats that came std with the car.
