Nothing wrong with baloon tires :wink: ... especially when they are from Toyo :wink:

Well it's just what you're used too.. and what your taste is like... but it doesn't exactly make a sharp & controlled ride.

Nice one. Where did you pick up that extra flange from? Planning on adding another exhaust myself...

I wrecked myself at the time of the restauration 4 e21's.
There were also 2 323. (by the way, one of that was a full option one, with AC, automatic, and...blue back headrests...hey Nils! 8) ).
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Love the blue headrests... :wink: although it does interfeer with the view to the back of the car when driving backwards, for example. But who wants to be pretty has to suffer, people say in the Netherlands.

Last saturday I had at last some time left to polish and to end some of the never ending list of wishes...
Sofar so good, were getting step by step to more and more smaller details..

Question: what about the red midsection between the taillights do or don't?
I'm not sure.
Not original but very in my favour of sound: the complete Simons set.

Nice to see your car out of the garage! I've read it's originally a 320, but how is it possible that it's registred as a 323i? (Says the RDW).

By the way, your WUR worked fine, but it didn't solve my starting problem. I'm giving up for now, but I'll be back whem I'm making the big bucks 8)

Hi,

I saw you're selling her. You will regret it! Its hard to find a good one, and you are asking to less!!

My baur is absolutely a 323 for all its life, I think you red the topic at the time off the restauration. At that time they putted a 320 backpanel in to it and made it after that specific 323. Thats why there is a little confusion.

Hi!

Well, yeah I realize I'm going to regret it. I know mine is 'a good one' on technical area, but the body is quite rusty. Especially with them fuell prices reaching the €1,70 pretty soon, I won't be driving it with a clear mind! Finish my study first, and then search for a nice M20'ed e21 or e30, that's my planning.

But i guess I didn't pay enough attention, I thought I read your's originally a 320 :D Must have been great to see your car totally stripped down, and actually drive it after a few months!

Haha well, mine would have needed that to. It's sold to Wondermike! Think he'll be asking some questions about a starting problem ;)

Well, it brought me home safe (100Km drive) and drives really fine.
Are there any speed cams in the Coentunnel....

I even lost my tail for a moment in a corner because of my heavy feed..... :wink:

But the rust, does it never sleep?

@Niki, i still have your tow cable....
So many cars, so little time
