Are there any 320is's out there ?

[Black_Potato]

I know there was only <5000 odd produced and all in left hand drive but I'm wondering if any exist within this community?

Come on step forward... I'm sure 4999 must be located in Romford. :

[DHFiS]

Dan320is has one located in Cambridgeshire

[Paul325ITouring]

I did see one on piston heads some time ago, which was for sale in the uk.

[d6dph]

As mentioned Dan320is has a ratty old one that needs some love, There is also a gent in Ipswich (iirc) with one. None in Tiptree that I know of

[bss325i]

The guy in Ipswich is called E30_KIDD on here and bought from my friend who is Ric_Vezza on here.

Thats a 2dr dolphin grey one.

[d6dph]

I thought it was Rics old one Barry, but didn't want to give out wrong info

[Black_Potato]

only 4998 to go ;)

[Black_Potato]

Any idea the kinda money they changed hands for ?

pm me if you like

TIA

[d6dph]

Lots and lots! I know the exact amount Dans went for and it would make your bumhole twitch. Beautiful car and worth the money tho.

[paddyvw]

i have two and know of three more locally all in ireland

[Black_Potato]

I guess the next question would be does anybody know of any for sale ?


Its a donor for a race car so cosmetic appearence isnt so important.

[Jhonno]

I don't think there are too many in that category now.. People have wised up to them..

Iirc both those 2 above were in excess of 5k

[davpkav]

The guy I have just bought my M3 leather interior and front legs from has one, he is going to race as well. He imported it from Portugal. He lives near Kings Lynn.

He also has two 2002s as well, one for rallying and one for the track.

And a great bloke too boot.

[MrBenn]

So they still won't budge on letting you use the 2.3 then?? They'll allow you to change the crank on a m20 to 2.7 and built up to over 220bhp, but not a crank change on a 320is... Seems unfair to me. (yeah I know, I should have asked before buying the engine )
How come your moving over to TTRS?

[anothere21323i]

I've got one and it's for sale, but to be honest it's too good to race. 12500 Euros. Car is in Germany.

[tez180]

[anothere21323i]

Yes, just about to load them once the moderators unlock my post in the for sale section.

[magpie]

[anothere21323i]

Yes mate, it's just been unlocked by the moderators, I'm just uploading the pics as we speak. Give me 10 mins mate and they'll be there.

That was Wayne Howlett. He had a garage in Dersingham, his business was called German Cars. He imported my 320is, and sourced quite a few interesting BMWs from Italy. Last saw him in 2006 and he was talking about moving abroad. No idea where he is now though.

[cruizin4dirty1s]

12500 euros fuck me id get an m3 for that

[anothere21323i]

Crack on then buddy!

[d6dph]

Nice constructive input there, A 320is is possibly the rarest factory E30.

Thanks - a diplomatic response! Oh and did I mention that there is not a speck of rust on this car anywhere?

Don't mean to hijack this post - I'm happy to discuss my car on my post in the for sale section

[E30_KIID]

Iv got one as Barry said i bought it from a fellow zoner. Here's the numbers for the cars produced;

These are the model numbers;

AK95- Two door- Produced 03/88 til 11/90
AC95- Four door- Produced 09/87 til 07/90

2542 two doors produced
1206 four doors produced

These are the S14 engine, but with a shorter stroke. They were produced for the Italian and portugese market as there goverments taxed heaverly on cars over a 2litre.

The strokes are;

1990cc- 72.6mm
2302cc- 84mm

[robbo86]

I would kill for a 320IS. The true baby m3. Would love to have a four door. Barry, is that the one that was parked near where that m42 I bought off you was? That car was lush!

That is the car E30_KIDD now owns.

Enjoy!

Here's a pic of one of paddy's 320iS' from the meet yesterday

[Craig_C]

I have a 320 with factory fitted tech2 kit but it's just an 'i' on the logbook

[Jozi]

The 320iS is a different breed of animal to the 320i.

Your 320i has a 2L 6cylinder where as the 320iS has a 4 cylinder 2L version of the M3's S14 engine.

[Craig_C]

Aha, fair enough!

[robbo86]
