Some of you may of seen this '83 323i with 25k on the clock on eBay for the last month or so.

The seller started with an unrealistic price but he started to see sense recently so we did a deal.

I'll let the pics do the talking , but it's all oroginal and all works.

Just need some BBs wheels for it now[/img][/b]

Ah someone brought it! :D

I heard there were a lot of rust issues? Is that the case?

The first advert was for £12k. A little steep perhaps.

So what are your plans for it now?

Over on fb someone said that it needed some paintwork - is that the case?

That was me who said it needs paint, it's been sat in a barn for 12 years so I think some bird crap has been on it. It's not rusty as such, just needs the paint sorting in places where it's gone through but it's certainly not rotten.

I'm the only person who viewed the car so no one else has seen it.

I plan to put it on 15inch BBs wheels, refresh the suspension with bilsteins and h&r's and then keep it original once the paintwork is sorted.

I didn't pay anywhere near 12k, I think he realised it wasn't an m3 but he thought he had a little money maker.

A farmer owned it from new then due to ill health it just sat inside so an actual genuine barn find

I found every tax disc, mot, receipt etc which I always like in a car.

It's all so original.

The guys selling it didn't know anything about it and spent a fortune on 6 new injectors

That is a lovely chromie. Personally I think bottle tops suit pre facelift better than bbs.

Here's mine...

Hi Magpie

I'm going to stick with the BBs wheels for now and see how I like them, I could do with a set for the other e30 while the hartges get re finished so I'll need a spare set anyhow
