Default Busy today... new Beemer :D
Bought some E39 proper ringed sidelights and an HID Xenon kit for the BMW

also slapped the HID's in aswell


its a 325 coupe and its my runabout shitbox for while the cossie is off the road having a new engine built

not bad and lovely to drive

Its too late now. He'll drive this for the next few months. The Escos wil be as costly as they are to run. And before you know it they'll both be chopped in for an E46 M3.
