That one would look much better with the wheels returned to oem silver. (Or replaced by the lovely Landmark alloys)

Aye, a vinyl roof is always a good tell for a conversion that's a bit of a bodge.mik wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 4:43 pmThe latter.ZedLeg wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 4:20 pm saw

My 530d had the 8sp, but the 740d was only ever given the 6sp.
