Snap! (well almost) Unfortunately my 323i is the HC version with all the issues that came with it. Bought in the 80s too, used daily for 10 years, been off the road for 20, still with me. Finally dug it out and took the covers off it last week.

Ha Ha yes it was :D But like a couple of other bits that are now unobtainium rocking horse poo It was binned when it failed and replaced with a normal overdrive G260. I was doing motorway miles at the time so it made sense. Joins a long list of things I wish I had now but it drove much better than the dogleg box which is weak and direct drive top.
