    What a clean car! I think the fog light adds little eurocharm with the yellow beams. A great conversation piece.

    38095 with 65,000kms. No smog. From Paris to here but I noticed the tail lights are swapped around. Appears to be factory black.

    Congrats Paul !!!!

    I always liked the 365/400i

    Great catch-Digging the black/black color combo on this one. Really looks badass. A buddy of mine waited too long to pull the trigger on one of these. I told him to get a 328. Looks like he waited too long on both of them. Congrats!

    Only time will tell, but I'm pretty sure that you'll love it... even at the expense of the BB (because really, where can you actually drive a BB anymore ? The cops are everywhere up here, right ?)
    Congrats, nice looking example !

    p.s. we're just in the process of stripping and repainting our Black/Black '81 5-speed...returning back to her original Grigio-Silver.

    Black on black series 1 car. Nice. You're right about the funky fog light. Turn signal/brake lights are swapped if you didn't know.

    I knew they were swapped just haven't made it a priority yet.

    The car arrived around 3 this afternoon. Put some fuel in it and went for a spin! Love the car. Solid and tight example fortunately. This is the first time I've driven it. Gleggy was here visiting for the weekend so he took it for a spin as well. Very happy with my purchase.

    The car drives and runs great. Had my wife and kids out this morning in it for an hour long cruise and just back from another spin now which produced a question. The exhaust. 4 mufflers on each side. Looked at what time valve has to offer and the stock type exhaust is appealing to me but more noise would be good.

    I'm going to do a search in this section on exhaust but I'm open to opinions here too!

    The factory mufflers rust out because they are the low spot in the system. They are also horrendously expensive. Most of us have gone to straight stainless with small resonators at the rear.
