BMW 315 and 323i from Croatia

Post by djzuka »

Hello to You all, i'm Danijel from Croatia, very big fan of BMW cars. I have three BMW's, E46,E36 and my favorite E21 315.

The plans are big, to install M50B25 engine, BBS RS rims, 323 rear two exausts, possibly e24 rear seats, Recaro front seats, brakes from 323 and so on...
Here is my love, car what makes my happy...

It would look nicer if you used the VW/Audi VDO guages with the red dials to be honest!!!

Gouges looks great, I prefer the lower ones, it seems like they blend in with the frame more, good job on that.

Congrats on the new 323i, but seems like you got a lot work to do

Great jobs you're doing. BBS rims sure are nice, especially BBS RS 8)

New? I'd bring it back if I were you :wink: Kidding, nice colour, same as mine. Is this a donor car or a new project?

And I like the Equus gauges better. They look almost the same, but I don't like the edges of the VDO's.

Tnx m8, 323i is probably donor for 315/335, i will use suspension and brakes etc.
I think that he have dogleg Z gearbox, owner said that 1th gear is down, i didnt drive it so i dont know, but i will soon find out, that would be bingo :D
There are KONI green springs on it, rear ZENDER spoiler, and maby LSD :lol:

I pay for him 400euros, that is bargin because 323i are very rare in Croatia. :cry:

djzuka, if i was you dude, i would replace that brake servo booster pipe cos that looks like water tube and with heat compressed air it will colapse and fail, replace it with hard airline pipe... dont do the mistake that one of the guys from college did and crashed in to the teachers car in the car park cos of the wrong fitment and quality of pipe... :lol: :lol:
