Hi
e23 parts are quite easy to come by, many get broken so dependent on wht you're after they can be sourced, I can normally get my hands on a number of parts. However the local BMW dealer can get any e23 part at the moment but on a 4 day order from Germany AND they're not as expensive as you may think
e28 and e24 items can fit (engine wise the same m30 lump etc) just do a cross check on some of the web sites out there or part nos.

I had an R reg 728 manual in 1986, metallic green heap of shit. It had been hit in the back wing and had so much filler, the fuel filler cap was recessed by about 20mm.bss325i wrote:My first BMW was an E23 728i, B reg in polaris silver. I was 19 at the time!
It had green cloth trim, did about 15 mpg and drove like the Bismarck.
ULF401R rust in peace.

Nothing wrong with a Staffire Ghia with an injected Pinto and a Type 9. With a decent set of dampers fitted they were a pretty good car.

Yep, it was pinto injection and type 9'd and in metalic blue. Funny you should say that about the dampers, i put a Koni shock and spring kit on it. That along with some new bushe's, TCA's and decent rubber was a fun car.Andyboy wrote:Nothing wrong with a Staffire Ghia with an injected Pinto and a Type 9.
