Nice car, beautiful. Love the wheels. I resisted black cars for years, now that I own one I really like it. My cars are typically, silver, white or dark grey. Just picked up a set of red BBS for the track.
I love a metallic black car, but just got sick of caring for black paint. I can't handle swirl marks - at all. With my CB e46 M3 I was polishing and paint correcting it 2-3x per year and washing/waxing it after nearly every drive.

Yours is looking good with the gold wheels
op, your car looks fantastic. I really like the gold wheels.
Ginsu Tim, in my short time w/ my black Gt3, I find the best fix is to just leave it dirty. Don't hardly notice the swirl marks then. That said, I do wash it once in a while...
I love black. Honestly I like it even with the stock wheels in silver.
Oh gawd. Another e30 m3 love fest. Most over rated car ever. I have had four of them. They are slow. And brilliant for about a second (about 4500 rpm) when you think they are going to be fast and then you realize it's not. At current prices it's insanity. If it had a ticker i would short it.
Haha, you Sir are correct but it's the nostalgia for me anyway having beat on e30's when I was a teenager.

Big basalt black fan... love how light plays off it. And love detailing it too, I am usually in the garage till 1AM waxing it. Find it very therapeutic after a stressful day at work. Wife thinks I have a mistress in the garage.
yeah, the photography of your car really shows it off, the wheels are a great addition, too. There is something just menacing about black cars, maybe from TV shows and the movies, but black cars are just Bad Boy Cars. In fact, I read somewhere how TV shows are very specific about what color cars the good guys and the bad guys drive. Was watching some past episodes of Breaking Bad last night, and sure enough, the bad guys all drive black cars. You never want to get into some sort of altercation with a guy in a black car. I love them.
For some years i had a '90 E30, six cylinder, not an M1 of course, but it really was a sweet, diminutive machine. I think, and believe, that BMW went all out on those early E30 cars, trying to make them the standard for that size machine.
When I was in the army in Germany, late '69 to mid '71, all the single guys had either 911's or BMW 1600 cars. I think they were badged 2002 or something like that. For some to this day unfathomable reason, I sold my '69 Dodge Charger R/T for a VW Type III Squareback. Payment on the $1500 cost of the VW was $52 a month. When I had bought the Dodge in Lincoln, just before graduating from ROTC at Nebraska in '69, my decision on my first new car, moving from an MGB, by then having a toddler, was between the R/T (for $3275) and a slightly used ''65 Shelby GT350 for $4K.
Ah, the decisions we make. Not as bad however as marrying my first wife, who ran off with a lawyer when i was in the Bush in Vietnam. Came back after 366 days "in-country" literally with only the Khaki's i wore and my Pentax and knives, to absolutely nothing, as she had sold off everything we had.
Fortunately, my dad had retrieved my VW, and it went on to serve me well for over a quarter million miles.
Had a NOAH cover for my Superformance Cobra, so i could keep it from filling up with water when I was off to this or that track event.
