It was a nice sunny day on a Sunday about 18 years ago, so I thought I would go for a nice cold beer down the local, as I'm sat outside in the beer garden the landlord come outside with a smile on his face alright Trev have you seen my new car knowing I like fixing cars he was excited to show me, at this point I picked my beer up and had a walk over to the car park (10 seconds away) i didn't know what type car it was apart from knowing it was a bmw in gleaming black, it was at this moment in time I fell in love with a car I just couldn't stop praising the car to him, everything about it I just loved the look the stance the lines the shape, he went back into the pub feeling proud and I just stood there with admiration thinking to myself one day I will have one of them, so I finally got myself one this silver 1.9 about 3 years ago I gave her everything time love dedication and she gave me the love back we were in bliss with each other until one day I pulled up at a petrol station behind a yellow z3 2.8, the young lady come out of the garage shop and we nodded at each other and she started her car, I fell in love again to the sound of the engine I thought my car doesn't sound like that it was pure jealousy of something I didn't have but wanted I got back into my silver z3 and didn't say a word but you could feel the tension she new and I new in that moment I was going to have an affair (you can call me heartless but when love is real it just won't let go of the heart) and here she is in her prime a gleaming black bmw z3 2.8 she is freaking gorgeous but gorgeous ladies know they are gorgeous and want pampering and looking after always want something bought for them, but if it makes her happy it makes me happy, and if you feel sorry for my first love she is still with me she is not prepared to leave the marital home and I totally understand that as I don't want her to go it just pulls on the heart strings as you can imagine :)

Yeah if I'm being honest I would have to be given them if I was to consider putting them on

I sold a set last year. They were in their box, unpacked, in the boot of the car when I bought it.
Sorry, but do I like them? No.
Ignore this one’s style tips, he wears a Hardtop all the time and even left one his Z3 for years...;)

Each to their own buddy :)
Yep, spot on AMcD .... :thumbsup:
Laughed my tits off though a few years ago, mate of mine had got a lovely old Merc, put the 'retro?' chrome strips on his wheel arches.
All his wings rotted away underneath them ....

Each to their own I say. I like the chrome on my car. Be a bit boring if they were all the same.

Yep, two of my mottos - "variety is the spice of life" and "I might disagree with everything you say, but would die for your right to say it".

Hah, love this discussion. When I was looking for mine, my darling wife's ONLY stipulation was that it must not have those flashy chrome things on the sides. Fortunately the 2.2 Sport I selected hasn't got them, so marital harmony was preserved.

My previous (black) Z3 had them. If I hadn't sold it on so quickly I'd have looked for a black pair and sold the chrome ones on. Glad my Palmetto Green has body colour "vents". :)
But, variety is the spice of life :)
