    Default Quarter Million Miles

    ...And she's still a joy to drive.
    Needs a little work:
    - some paint work on the hood and bumpers;
    - rear window lift;
    - a new radio;
    - headliner work soon;

    Thanks to this forum for all the help keeping her on the road!

    She's gorgeous!

    What wheels are those from?

    Just a thought... given the amount of black there, maybe you should tint the windows! LOL

    Thanks! The wheels are 10-spoke BBS 17x8's. Those wheels were the first thing that drew me to the car then when I looked inside and saw the black interior and the 5-speed, I was sold on it
    I haven't seen any like them around.
    632, I'm pretty sure the rear window issue is just the plastic slider. The window works but falls out of track.
    Here's a closer look at the wheel.

    Congrats brother, that's a great milestone, I hope you cruise smoothly through a third of a million. I have a few beemers and only one has tinted windows and blacked out stainless trim and I prefer it strongly.
    Well done...
