if it's that old it will be an E21? and a baur cab at that.

All i know is u can still get over 70% of 2002 parts from the dealer so i would think the dealer would be able to get u everything u would want for it mate.

Must have the old 2.3 "M60" in it too

E21 323i was M20 engine with K-Jetronic injection.

I had one last year (hardtop). If it's rust-free and cheap, buy it. Top car

It was called the M60 before the name was changed to M20.

And then the M60 name was resurrected for a V8, confusingly :roll:

If they wanna swap for your E30 I say leave it :wink:
