Hey guys, i havent been here for a while and here are updates.
Car is waiting for disassembly now, and instaling m30 engine...yes i quit searching m50 because i found crashed 535i with good engine for little money...
Here it is, m30, little one
I find Recaro seats, heated and electrically adjustable
Working on gauges, i will put them in ventilation, weird place maby or!?
...and it will look like this, this is plan
...and i buy nice BBS RS001 rims
That is that for now, im waiting for weather to become little sunny and temperatures go up, and then i will start working on 315, engine out and 3.5 in, so if anyone have some 335i project please give me some pictures or link because i dont know how will m30 fill in e21

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

Exept my BMW addiction i am BBS fan...
This is my BBS collection:
BBS RM012 in reconstitution, putting 7J rings from BBS RS and taking off 6,5J rings...
my pride, BBS RS 8.5x17 and another set of BBS RM012
One is damaged but i have spare rings from that what have 7J now
BBS RS on RM's
So for now 1xBBS RS 15", 1xBBS RS 17" and 2xBBS RM 15"

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

New? I'd bring it back if I were you
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
There are KONI green springs on it, rear ZENDER spoiler, and maby LSD
I pay for him 400euros, that is bargin because 323i are very rare in Croatia.

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...
