Well guys I will be getting this in about a week from a guy here in new Mexico. http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/2225517098.html

Congrats! Rare car in the US and great fun so enjoy, and show us some more detailed photos once you have the car!

Yeah no problem it needs a few things but will be great fun. My favorite feature is the oval tourist plate on the front.

Hey Jeroen, what do you think of the overall style of the car from what you can see? Should I just leave it the way it is or change out the wheels and possibly a spoiler of some sort?

[Bambus]

It looks good. If I were you I'll just remove the seat covers, and install original gear stick.

[american 320i]

I was thinking about just putting the gear stick from my 320i in it. Its the wood one. Sadly my 320i is junk the fuel system is f*** and my mechanic (from Frankfurt) stars that repairing it wouln't be worth it.

an e21 is never worth it in simple money, based on emotions... ofcourse it's worth it! Currently I'm restoring my '78 323i and its costing me big time. But when ist in perfect condition in two years, and i've driven her around town, I think i've forgotten the costs in the first kilometer.

In other words: its worth what you think its worth.

Hard to give too much comments based on a few phone pics, can't think of much else atm but I'm looking forward to some nitpicking once you have some better photos

hahaha yeah see that's how i though about it when my mechanic said that to me.
And i love my old 320i but its a steal on the grey market 323i here in the states he is giving it to me for 2000.
Ill try to get a couple more up soon. I don't have it yet but i did take better pics.

Here is a shot i got of her sorry for the weird red at the bottom, my camera was acting stupid so this is the only pic that came out.

[american 320i]

This is my 320i, my first car, and no I didn't put the rims on it that's how it came.

[american 320i]

Can anybody tell me what wheels are on the 323i? I noticed it doesn't have the caps and I would like to know what they are so I can purchase some for it.

[american 320i]

ha never mind they are riken wheels, I will hopefully be picking it up today but sadly can't drive it to much as it has no mufflers

Hi!

Is the blue car the one that could bounce?
