Ive been offered an A reg 323i manual MOT failure Ԛ£50
Henna red(i think)absolute dog to look at.Needs sh1t loads of welding,bumpers are hanging etc but interior dont look too bad,Beige recaros,drivers ripped badly otherwise needs scrub.
I have seen it but didnt hear it run but can go back and hear it,as long as it starts,been stood about 3 months but have been told was running well!

Dillemma is this;i was planning on selling my car soon to replace with either a 6pot or an IS,basically something a bit faster than what mine is.
I didnt really want to do a conversion,not yet anyway!

Couple of questions but ill ignore the obviouos like change box/brakes/diff/exhaust etc,i know that,

1,How good/reliable is the 323?Any major issues like head pobs etc?

2,Do i have to change the full wiring loom?

3,Is it worth doing to my 318i?
or shall i just sell this and buy another as i first planned?

Cheers fellas :)

i thought about it.

if your shy on insurance then its the ideal inbetween for the 320 and 325.
