well that is certainly euro styling of BMW's... I always like the e30 3 series slammed on a set of Renaul (sp??) Turbos- or a set of schmitt TH lines. My brother has been in euro styling for years and is currently driving a mkIII jetta (vento) slammed on 16" Brock B2's with rieger lip, fk coilovers, bonrath lowering caps (front), among other things. I have always respected that style and I definitly see its influence on different automotive stylings.

The clean Euro style is definitely one of my faves. I say clean Euro because ricer Euro is something else. lol.

Clean Euro has a heavy influence on my car. Big and low. Gotta love it.

OMFG you hang out with him??

I worship his dubs like no tomorrow everytime I see his pix, I can't get enuff of his mk2 coupe, what is he planning next since he sold his wheels??

and regarding about this style, I'm always fan of Euro, the idea of minimalism is always something I admire, less is more.

In all honesty we were runnin' that style on our mini-trucks here in Jersey back in 1989-1991!!! No one was using flared fenders but we ALL had insane offsets. I for one was rollin on 15 x 10 reverse (the term we used in the day) all around on a 1984 Chevy S-10 that was slammed 4" front and 6" rear. While some of those euro styles look clean, others have tire stretch that is just assinine!! Basically, the car looks undrivable! And the foil one!!!!!
New!!!! From Ronco!!!! It's Jiffy Bimmer!!!!!!

Remember that a lot of the above pics are of older Bimmers so they are sporting what was popular back in their heyday. It's a tribute to an era. So while some may have had that style on their minitrucks, these cars are still classics and the minitrucks well... you tell me where they went.

Point is I dig the style, not so much the actual execution. I adhere to this same minimalistic (read: clean) philosophy in my car and I can appreciate it whether it's an E30 with sick stretch on BBS wheels or a 2006 LS430 with 20" Work wheels in Wald Aero.

If they pics are older or the style is meant to invoke the "days of old" ok, I'll give it to them. And yes, the minitruck movement went the way of the Dodo bird!
I don't believe that some of the extreme stretches and "overdone" flare/body kits follow that minimalistic philosophy. I totally respect that you enjoy this style, I just happen to not. (anymore that is )

Now your car Clean is what I would call near perfect. You have that minimalistic "clean" style that I dont happen to see in these euro styled cars.

Well that's over there.

What do you call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?

Names of things change in different places.

Other's are just retarded. Like "Euro clear" lights.
