I'm relatively new to the E30 scene now I have discovered them I absolutely love them and cant wait to get my hand on one.
Im considering either this 323

I would obviously prefer a manual but the 320 does look quite nice. Is it really as slow as everyone says it is ?
323i or 320i ??? Help please

Think of the 323 bitz that you could serve for an eye watering/seat staining amount.
The Internet - It has proven to be worthless, and is nothing but a repository for perverts.

323i All the time, however the 320i comes with more modern engine management, Speedtouch may offer a 323i chip should you want to upgrade the whole system.
You may have a valid reason for buying a 323i like me here in South Africa, The 325i here is about double the price of the 323i and 320i and usually twice as knackered. a decent 325i here is £4000+ and then the history can still be questionable. It wont of ever been through a uk style mot in its life. The 333i here is literally non existent, most drifted, stolen, burnt and crashed. i have seen one in two years and never seen one for sale, and on average i see 8 E30s a day.
Chrome bumpers are also more plenty full in good condition, here in SA they're more unwanted like they were in the uk 10 years ago. The gangster Massive like the plastic 325i cars to go "spinning" then once they break they burn them at car meets.
4 Stud 14&15 inch BBS, Tourings and proper convertibles were never sold, and 2 doors are scarce.
