#1, I'm thinking maybe a late-model US market E30?
There is a clean Euro-spec one in my area driven by a guy who apparently imported it when he moved to the US, or got it as a gray-market car in the '90s. It's a base white and gray 320i sedan with steelies, cloth seats and add-on side markers installed in the fenders and quarter panels. It's kind of funny given that his other car is a Z8.
