Here's my daily ride. It's a 5 speed 85 535i. Zobelbraun with Pearlbeige cloth interior. 312000km, and still running very strong. All stock excecpt for Paul Grey bushings, and a Z3 shift lever. This pic is old, as the car now has 4 15" steel wheels and hubcaps with new tires, not the TRX wheels up front.
