Well a guy locally was selling this beauty. He has done all the work so far and decided to sell it to work on one of his many other projects. So i grabed it from him to finish.

Two pics of the car from what it looks like today. Soon it will have a new interior and paint I will have more pictures as progress is made on the car.

Welcome and congrats, 323i's are real rare in the US!

Loads of potential there!! Not to keen on the rear panel - standard one looks much better in my humble opinion! The wheels are really nice to....Nice workshop! Could build myself a real jem with a set-up like that!

Retrobeemer, what you have to remember is that that bmw was fitted probably with those big massive mofo bumpers, therefore the rear panel would have been different/resides back a little, so looks like its been extended to european style with more sheet metal and a bit of weld here and there only with no bumpers that car i think would go good as a track car from what it looks like...

nice car mate!!

Oh yeah, I forgot about the nasty US spec bumpers.....Glad they've gone!

Ya the US bumpers are freakin huge!!! so the rear bumper may look goofy to you guys but is a large improvement to the americans

Thanks for the complements im excited to get to work on my first e21

Its the red reflective Alpina panel thats not my cup of tea....just my opinion though. The rest of the car is awesome. Thinking of fitting arches onto my racer when I start to build it?

Almost looks like a copycat

Wow that thing is sweet!!! are they 2002 flares also?
