Will go to look at it, but white - Alpine, Artic or Polar Bear - isn't my favourite, Kansas isn't as good as Nappa, the 'engine-turned metal' trim makes the interior look smaller and ... the owner's put 'M' badges on the wings

. However, it is one-owner and does have low mileage. We'll see ...

i've got 326 wheels which are now 10 years old - they were on runflats for about 8 years - no cracks when i switched to non runflats

I think you mean if you get 19"crackers it's a great excuse to buy a hell of a lot of cheese!

There are still a lot of 326m out there happily rolling around on e89's, so as Pondrew says a lot (or even most) of them are probably fine. The risk is there, but there are plenty of risks with any car and they do look spectacular...

I live up a farm track and I mean 300yds is basically pot holed to hell and I never had an issues with 326 wheels on R/F - just be sensible and they are the best looking wheel for certain

Told the wife about the car tonight.
'What colour is it?'
'White.'
'Well, you can always use it for weddings.'

White is a very good colour for the E89. It really does show the swage lines very well.

You could only use it for one trip as a wedding car, unless the groom (or bride) drove from the church. Which would mean you have to take a taxi.

Yes. The Scottish way.

I'm sure you could find another white E89 on here - it isn't exactly a rare colour on them!
