28 years old, and needed work done.....
 
Build September 1988, the daily driver.

Finally got around to having the cosmetics done: rust excised, new paint, new seals.

She's not a genuine Alpina. I added something so the Alpina enthusiasts will spot her as a replica (AKA "fake") straight away--extra points if you can identify the give away, and no, it's not the wheels).

Still, I reckon it looks good.

I had a good one once. They are great drivers.

If you were closer, I'd give you my 16 inch Momos that take 225/50 tires. That is the best for your car.

Thanks. Kind of you.
Those are 15 inch wheels. 16 would look good. I've seen 18 inch wheels on these, look great but I'd expect the ride to be terrible. I wouldn't mind lowering it, but clearence of the front spoiler is already a problem at times.

Yeah, I'm jealous.

I sold it to get a 930 turbo. Just lucky enough to have gotten one.

OK, fair enough. (Now I'm even more jealous)
