You 3 are so wrong.


Why has a car with no other chrome on it got a chrome, no actually lets call it what it is and that's chrome effect plastic, front grill?
Why does it need to have other chrome on it?

Chrome kidneys have been a BMW design feature for a very long time. A shadowline E28 still has chrome kidneys - it's a design feature that doesn't work in black.

We're getting a kitten in a few weeks. He's entirely black, but for some reason I'm not allowed to name him Mugabe.

Talk about repressed.

On a E28 which without the shadowline trim has chrome on it, and the older models that al had chrome details maybe so, but you posted your comment in response to a E36..... and why do BMW offer black kidney grills as options on thier newer models if it's such an important design feature?

BTW call the cat Robert or Gabriel, you'll know what you mean.......... wink

I didn't want to have to bring out my Royal College of Art education here, but to use the technical term, the black grilles look "wk".

Hmmm, that reeks of subtlety. Not one of my key skills...

I think a cat called Mugabe is an inspired idea.

E30M3SE, maybe it is cultural thing, if I see black kidneys on an E30/36/46......9/10 the owner is an enthusiastic asian or darker coloured gentleman who clearly lavishes attention on his BMW.
The kidneys statistically would appear to define a demographic?

Does it work?...In the same way that I somehow get the sense I am being laughed at when ever I wear my purple zoot suit while shopping in Waitrose. confused

Damn you. I just sprayed tea all over the conference table and the pointy haired boss (PHB) is giving me a funny look.

A rather tidy conversion:

Is it worth the asking? It seems reasonable for a unique and pretty Ferrari.

I posted it a while back. The hood is an utter horror iirc.

Is value though.
