I like the blue calipers, something different for a change.

Beats pink or gold I guess.

Please tell me that’s a 318

Apparently a 320i in bronze....


For anyone who remembers F1 of the 70s, 80s and 90s this is just wrong:

318 according to the MOT

Nice contradictory combo, blue calipers, AMG wheels, Khumo tyres!

Whatever it is it says "Please pull me"

The way car model designation is going, it wouldn't surprise me if a 318 from that year is a 2.0l engine

 

[V6Matty]

BMW have been at it for years with one engine displacement but multiple maps and power, so a 2.0l would cover from the 316 to the 320, the 3.0l would cover from the 325 to the 335 for example

Mercedes did it as well with the 180, 200 and 230 - all 1.8 at the time

My god, that grille is terrible

 

[Blobcat]

My god, that grille is terrible

Agreed, with a private plate, a bit of TLC and a bucket of water thrown over it, it could be a very nice classic Mercedes

 

[dry run]

Those headlights look like they've seen better days!!! I think the AMG badge is at a slant because it's desperately trying to wrench itself off the car and escape
