128i and E30 side-by-side

stu@motivemag · 02-28-2008, 10:51 AM

For size comparison. . .

thank you thank you thank you

as a past E30 owner that brings it home.

edit: i still like the e30 front end better ... sigh ...

Also, I just realized that the 128i grilles have black slats like an E30, while the 135i has chrome slats. Black looks better, IMO.
