Hrodebert Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hi EB, I have a soft spot for 90something 4 stud wide city cars, and I did my best to make an 80s 3 series in that style. I still can't decide on which rims to use Thanks for looking Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Actually the front end does scream BBW.....just one little part did it. Though the front bumper is a little off I think, my dad owns an early 90's BBW. Brick On 'Hrodebert' ! Quote
prateek Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Oohh, this is awesome! Could be modified to look like a 2002 too! Quote
TheLegGodt Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 The front sells is indeed and is instantly recognisable. I don't see the beemer in the rest of it though, but then it is difficult at that scale. Quote
gazumpty Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Ha brilliant...takes me back to my childhood. I agree with LT though...I think the lower half of your front bumper needs to go the full length of the front and be the same colour as the body. Only separated by a strip of black...like this.... If it ties up with your detail all round the car...I think you will be onto a winner! Quote
Criga88 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It certainly has the front end of a BM Trouble-you, but I agree with Gazumpty on his updates. I'd put 1x1 round tiles as the headlights though, and maybe have black rubber bands for the black parts of the fender. My vote goes to the grey rims as well, but good luck with whichever road you decide to take this down Quote
Hrodebert Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for the feedback everyone, I did have some headaches with the front. Trying to use only a single grill on a jumper plate limited my options for the bumper(using a 1x3 plate behind the bottom of the grill to attach it), but I never thought of using a rubber band; thanks Criga.

LittleJohn Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Very nice car! I really like the sunroof and side-view mirrors Quote
wooootles Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Copying a 4-wide car is very tough, so with that I think you did a good job making it look like an old BMW. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Lovely MOC ...I really like the standard "four-studs-wide"! The nose looks nice! Quote
