Thanks akshay, it is a 1985 model, and little work to do with it.

Hi andre1774, that BMW is beautiful. I guess it is 88 - 89 model. My compliments for the good condition that it is in.

If I am correct, these car had a 2 litre DOHC (125bhp), with one of the best mid-range response. I remember a friend of mine had a similar car in UK and that was absolutely fantastic to drive.

Have you considered original BMW BBS alloys from that era for your 320i. They look spectacular on those models.

^thats a nice and affordable alternative to buying a new set of rims, looks very good.
nice job with paint also, very clean.

hi jaskiat, thanks man, actually the model is 1985, and registered in 1986, i tried the original BBS basketweave or the crosspoke, but i couldnt find one in the local market, but saw some in lancers.
yes it has a very good mid range response, but i find it very difficult to drive in the city traffic, but excellent on the highway.

Thanks di1in. Yes, Ink is left but it'll be used for further coats.

But isn't 195/60R14 is a wrong upsize for a swift? Correct upsize would be 195/65 R14.

Thanks. Yes Its a DIY. I got the marker from Hongkong. its like a pen and quite easy to do. Yoko are available in 195/60. I am happy with the ride quality, which is much better than the stock tyres. so i decided to keep them.

Yes you are right Switch.

I tried once with white paint on my Ex gypsy and the paint came off within a week

I did it using a pen like marker. this too becomes dull after a month or so.. this is the second time i have done it. it hardly takes 7-10 mins for each tyre.

Thanks. Yes its a DIY. took about 7-10 mins for each tyre.

Thanks. I got the marker last month from HK. But i guess it should be available in India too.

what paint you used for this.

It lasts for about a month or so. a quick coat on it makes it look better again.
I dont know the paint, the language on the marker was alien to me something like Japanese or Chinese. Will post the pic of the marker as well.

hmm.. in my case it hardly takes 10 mins for first coat and 5-7 mins for subsequent quotes. so I think re coating it once a month is fine.

[zerocritical]

It looks like this after a month. I took this before re coating them

Thanks for the complements guys,, here're the pics you asked for:

You`ve got a decent car! Remove tht gold-plate finish from the main grille! Try blackining it wid PVC stickers, it may look good!
My cousin had OHC with same color, it had dark tints for all windows, even font windshield! That was awesome, as OHC got a huge front windscreen!
Anyways Happy Modding!
Drive safe!
