In meantime came wheel changing time and I decided to sell RD wheels and go back to stock wheels.




Also changed front indicators to orange ones and rear smoked lights were changed to stock ones.

In autumn 2018 I drove from UK to Latvia by car around 1700 miles and stayed there all winter. Car wasnt driven all winter and stayed in garage till spring.











In spring 2019 car was woken up from winter sleep and I decided to go for US look. US side markers, US moldings and US number plate holder was purchased.








At first was done front side.






After that rear end was done too.










Also cruise control was installed to make trip back to UK more comfy.

And as I wrote earlier that my dream since childhood was black headlights. Also car has factory shadowline but grill was chrome, not good. All dreams came true and together with new plate car transformed into totally another car.

Then was time for lights. Started to look like a car.

Car was finally home and could make some more photos.





That ugly spoiler was pissing me off couple days till I throwed it away into neighbours garden.


After car purchase next day I found on ebay some great looking 17" Racing Dynamics RGQ wheels.





And spoiler was gone.

You will ask why someone would buy old bmw diesel ? I love old diesel sound. I been looking this car for about 2 years. These cars are very rare in UK and especialy rare for cheap money. This one I got for less than 1000£. I wanted manual diesel and after 2 years of lazy looking I found one in Lester. I just grabbed my money went there and bought it, I even didnt check as I knewed I will take it anyway, cos there is no other options and choices. I think that was my happiest day in long time. That 6 cyl diesel sound and little turbo sound made my day and left big smile on my face for at least a month. Im still smiling every time I drive it but not that much like in first days.

Since I was young I always watched photos videos and I knewed back there that if I will have one of legends e30, e34 or e32 it will have Hella Black headlights straight away and nice wheels. So lights and wheels were on to do list as number 1.


First photos. Not the best angles, I was too excited.






Car was full stock, on stock 15" wheels.
