Great looking car! I really like the Alpine White. Your EuroWeaves are in great shape also. Question: Did the E28 style sidemarkers come standard on the euro cars, or did you do that yourself?

Heh, they don't look quite so good close up!

re: the side indicators, dont think they came as std in europe, but they're an MOT requirement in the uk - so UK models came with them, guess it was an easier (and better looking IMO) option than fitting the us style bumper indicators?

There are quite a lot of e30 m3's imprted from germany to the UK that have slipped through the MOT without, but sooner or later they end up having to fit them.

there's not much difference between them afaik. most UK models don't have cats, but some US features are quite rare - A/C for instance, and cruise is non-existent. Airbags are rare too. as are 4.1 LSDs. i'm not sure whether you guys got the same seats as us, what was standard on the US models? we had the sports chequered design. can't think of anything else off the top of my head. obviously there are a few other exterior details that are different between all US and UK models.
