Whether tis nobler ......
Sorry got a bit carried away therekinggf
Anyway, the 55 000miler 1991 E34 I just purchased is completely stock, exactly as it rolled out the factory 17 years ago. My intention is to keep this vehicle a long time.
Do you think its worth keeping it absolutely stock, down to the finest detail (As an example , you can still see the original BMW PDI sticker in the engine bay). Would this add to its "collector status" in years to come? I know vintage car restorers get quite anal about the details, but I'm off to a good start here and in 10 years time it could mean something:dunno:
From a pure drivers/petrolhead perspective I'd enjoy fitting an aftermarket exhaust, rims, clear indicators F&R, Xenons, maybe tinted windows, even a decent stereo system (no trunk filling subs for me, just a decent head, amp and speaker system that can play DVD/CDs.).
Sure all these things are reversible, but why mess with a good thing?
FWIW, I bought this thing to drive weekly, no garage queen for me.
Your opinions are appreciated:noSMG:
