How are you Mark?
While not a fan of the color or the interior, the body kit actually reminds me of some of the race versions of the e36 M3. Given the right livery, it might be kinda cool.
Such as:

paint + stock tails + wider tires to suit the rims - some tacky bling= saved

Yup, it would be impossible to unbolt those taillights and put some stock ones back in.
I assume the owner likes it, so who am I to say anything about his personal taste. After all, it's not like it's the last one on earth.

I'd easily rock that. Aside from that odd fuel door thing and the clear tails, it's pretty clean car.
Purple would take some getting used to...

I agree..... smoke the lights, stock fuel door and I'd be ok with it

+1 - but I would get some sheepskin seat covers and try to paint the rest of the leather (pleather) black and lose about 300lbs of electronics.

yeah not that bad really, I think there's more than 300#s of electronics weight you could lose there, sheesh.

It is a 97 with only 30k miles. The strange part is the paint is factory.

Oddly, there were two purples! The other was known as Daytona Violet.

Horrible.
But I do like wheels with a lip and stretched tires if the car has a good low stance. I've actually got my custom 17 x 8 4x100 et 25 Work Emotion CR Kais for my e30 for sale.
That way I can run a more inexpensive street wheel with a lip and stretch. Then buy some 15s and Rcomps for auto-x/hpde use.

At least it's not some totally obnoxious shade of purple....
I'd rock it if I could get the stock shift knob and steering wheel back.

I have a technoviolet and like it a lot. I get nothing but compliments from everyone I meet.

I don't like the interior or the tails, but outside of that, it's OK. It's very much an artifact of late 90's extreme BMW "tuning". I seem to remember seeing quite a few of those bodykits around the web.
The interiors screams "90's". lol

If I saw that car in a parking lot I would consider performing my first act of vandalism. I can understand if some white-trash hick wants to rice-out their Cavalier, but to spoil a Bimmer like that is just odd.
That crap doesn't add anything to its performance, so why would you ugly it up for no reason? Seriously... a body kit, ricer taillights, and a berkeleying CHROME PEP BOYS GAS CAP GLUED TO A SQUARE GAS DOOR???
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
I hate it. It makes me think of this:

Unfortunately, those '90s era mods didn't age very well.
But at least it's not plastered with ///M badges.

Bodykit... awesome.
Purple colour... awesome.
Interior... not bad, at least it's not red or orange.
Wheels... awesome.
Taillights... fail.All things considered... Ya, I'd drive it.
