323 E21 Edition 'S'

kam · Post by **kam** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 12:10 pm

Hi All,

I'm new to the forum, but been browsing the site for a few years now. Just thought I'd post up some pics of my E21 323efi Turbo Edition S, yes it was the one on eBay. Due to a change in circumstances (fortunately) I am now keeping my E21, and it should be going in for a complete respray, firt Zender bumpers front and rear and maybe the sideskirts also and sort out any rust etc while it's in. Hope you like.

Nice one Sean. if I ever end up breaking her, you get dibs on the wheels

Have you been keeping an eye out on Ebay.de? I'll PM you if I find any as I do often check on there and they do come up, just a question of having the cash at the right time.

Misza, I am running 195/50/R15 on the fronts and 205/50/R15 on the rears. I have the 6.5 j fronts and 7j rears by the way.
