I know a guy with a Y reg 3 series and he says its a 323 with a 2.2 engine in. Did they do a 2.2 engine?
I thought the newer 323's were 2.5's.

just got to grips with m20, m40, m42 etc so still very much a noob when it comes to numbers.
And names come to that :roll:

IIRC the 2.2 is also a four pot.

Leon 'arris? "Ask 'im ref! Ask im!"

I was never fortunate to meet him, but did see him wrestle at the City Hall many a time. Oh happy memories!

Have you seen Kes, the film that still is from?

2001 323 will have an M52B25TU engine , so should be a 2.5

2002> 320 would have a 2.2 litre.

325 badge replaced 323 after '02 iirc when the facelift was done.

yes johnna,

many a time thou not for years come to think of it.
Thats tonights viewing sorted.
Brian used to train at Battersea Park with my dad when I was a nipper mid 70's.
I remember a story that Brian was the only man on film to beat-up The Duke, don't know if its true but haven't seen another film where anyone gets more than a punch or two at John Wayne.
Ran into Geoff Capes once at the Park, looked up and started crying, so family like to remind me'


Ant don't you ever go out?

Those crazy Germans and their engine sizes. Bought that 320 2 door, think I'll be going for that unit, but will have to be in about 12 weeks as I'll need to sort out the cash 1st, wouldn't want to have any money worries and rent to pay. If you see the owner about can you find out if he's got a little one ? as I'm prob going to be striping and prepping in two weeks and could do with something on a weekly bassis for maybe a few weeks.

Its started 8O

2.2 is the M54 straight six in the E46 320i and post 2001 520i. A very good engine as well.
