Hi dek323,
Welcome to the forum...
Wauw!! Your 323i looks really straight... Beautiful mate!
Like Jeroen, I really like the colour!
But it looks a bit odd being half-dechromed... You should try to find the chrome parts for around the side windows - I'm sure it would improve the looks massively...
Looking forward to more pics - lets see the interior...

Yes I know, I already have new chrome side and front+rear window strips, only need new side window strips or try to remove the paint on them, someone an idea what is the best way to remove the black paint from the side window strips.
I also have 15" Alpina alloys but I am waiting until I have my suspension complete than I will mount them.

Sounds cool!!
Which suspension are you gonna fit?
Can't wait to see new pics of your 323i with all the chrome, lowered suspension and Alpina alloys!! - I recon it's gonna look awesome along with that fab gold colour...

Hi Dekan,
Nice e21! Very clean and tidy. I have never seen that colour here in Australia, so I'm thinking its pretty rare. Have to agree with Anders on the chrome - it will look fantastic when you get around to that!
I wouldn't mind seeing some interior pics if you have the time; I'm into interior pics for some reason
Regards
Mathew

Wow, sharp looking e21 you have there. Seems very clean and rust free
But as some of the other guys said, you need to find some chrome parts for that one... it'll make it a real looker

The new dash, front and taillights came in september 79 i think...

....and plastic door mirrors.... The revised E21 came in 9/79, so I'm guessing Dekan's 323i is a
very late 79, thereby making it one of the first of the facelifted E21's.

Mine is actually from december 78... that's why it has the old interior

Nice looking! And i also agree with the chrome. That would look real nice with your Alpina rims. Maybe also a Alpina steering wheel.
