Reason I ask is I've just acquired a german spec 323i. In the service book it looks like it's a November 1983 model. Is that quite early ? Some snaps of the car will be on here soon as it's got some ( well I think so ) rare bits.

'82 was the first year of the E30 in LHD form, with UK RHD models available from March '83.

Which is exactly when I went in my first E30, btw!
