Welcome to E21 fan club. Looks a very nice car, and the much sought after 323i. Tell us more, have you done any mods, restoration, what's the mileage, what's her history, do you have any future plans?

Hi

Good to see another car north of the border (and it looks good), i normally only see my collection of e21s. A guy up the road in belarno has a pretty mint 320, and i sometimes see a neglected 316 around the west end of edinburgh

Yeah she's quite a clean car but needs a fair bit to make her A1, time money the usual. No mods as yet, just regular service and replacement items. Really need the wheels blasted and powder coated to freshen them up, or bigger rims not made up my mind!
Want to uprate the shocks/springs, maybe a few other slight mods.

The previous owner had removed the original black foam spoiler lip which I would of liked, always on the lookout!

Yeah I dont see many up this way either, I live in fife now did live in Edinburgh for a couple years while studying, originally from north of Aberdeen. I bought the car from a guy in Glasgow :?, slightly more than 2 years ago its great.

Getting the wheels blasted and re-coated next week, £30 a corner, should brighten them up a little bit.

The car was first registered on the 9th of Sept '82 and has had 5 previous owners to me. From what I can tell from the receipts and MOT (APK) history, the car started out in London and has slowly moved up north through the country.
The mileage on the car is at present 169,000 (270,000km) so has covered alot of distance. Some welding had been carried out by the previous owner to the sills and jacking points. Bootlid has also been replaced, the colour is slightly off, I assume due to rust from the bolt holes on the original spoiler.
My next plan is to fit a set of billies and springs, and I have the wheels booked in for a makeover on monday, will see the results.
