Mika's 323i -79

Post by Mika »

I have read this forum a long time but registered and wrote my first posts just lately. Now I am going to indroduce one of my cars.

Here is my 323i, made in 1979. I think you have seen my car in pictures from "E21 meeting in Finland". Originally it has been türmalingrün - metallic but someone has painted it later with different green colour.

Othervise my 323i almost in original condition. It has some extras:
- sunroof
- limited slip differential
- ALPINA steering wheel
- 5-speed sport transmission
- green tinted glass

Is it "Lagunengrün"? I know a 6-series painted "Lagunengrün" - looks similar to yours.

The interior looks similar to mine, which would not be too strange as mine is Turmalin green as yours once was, and mine is also a 79'er.

Nice car, take good care of it!

I think it's not Lagunengrün. I don't know is it BMW colour at all.

At local paint store they measured this colour with certain equipment so now I am able to get right colour if I need to fix the paint.

Here is a picture from engine bay.
