Thank you Jeroen and Uwbuurman, I'll be working through the tons of information you've got here.. Already started late last night and I came accross this:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3754&start=0
Dilmah 323i had shared a same first car as me, the polaris 323i. I bought it as a student in 1998 (after saving for years) and cherished it, taught my wife (then girlfriend) to drive in it (and no major mishaps) .

Then I got convinced to sell it around 2002/2003 to get something more convenient, and regretted it immediately. I've been looking to buy it back for years now, only to last night find out it was in an accident.

I guess I can close that chapter now and settle with another e21, and so the hunt for a replacement starts now. Not an easy task in Aus, they're rare and the prices are skyrocketing. Hopefully I find a suitable one in the next few months. In the meantime it's research, research, research...
