all the way from Portugal

Hey guys

I picked up my dark silver R56 about 18 months ago, and it must be love I've done around 12.000 miles with it and it is a blast!!

Unfortunately it's given me a few headaches (i'll get into that in a minute) and i messed it up a bit about a year ago (driving home from work, nodded off and hit a curb... total damage: new tire and patched the alloy @ the dealer).

Will be posting a few shots of my baby if you don't mind

Welcome to NAM
Portugal?
Always wondered if those 1988-1990 BMW 320is are hard to find?
Pics?

Thx guys

@ howsoonisnow1985 they are pretty rare, unfortunately... Only saw one so far, and that was at a motorshow... Awesome cars though! Trully understated, unlike the M



I really <3 this side stripe!






Great photographer right? hmm










And my only regret... i didn't get the 'Boost' stereo...



How come it's shining so much? Shots were taken when it was brand new, 18 months ago =) Looks the same now if you ask me!! Just a scratch on the black plastic bit on the front bumper... sigh...

And last but definitely not least...



The blue baby on the right is my 89 Rover 213 (Rovers interpretation of the 3rd gen civics ) Here's how that baby's hood shines



Hope you guys enjoy it

Nice

I thought the 320is would be rare. FYI 320is instead of 325is was brought to Portugal and Italy due to engine tax but the 2.0 engine used was the 4 cylinder 195hp M3 engine, hence 320is.
