Does anyone know of the 'Motorsport' or 'Limited edition' E21 323i made by BMW GB, that came with a dogleg gearbox, LSD, & only ever came in a killer two tone paintjob that was Ascot Grey over gunmetal grey or something like that...

Those cars looked stunning, not many made, maybe under 200..

Wondering if anyones owned one, or knows of them, would love to see a picture of one to remind me of what the fuss was about...

So what are one of these babies worth then, providing you find one?...

I know that one about 'A car being worth what one is willing to pay', but every car has a value attached to it...

Just want to know if they are worth any more than an normal eqiuvelent 323i, in the same nick, & even an eqiuvelent Alpina version...

The two tone ones aren't worth much (if any) more than a standard one. £1500 should be plenty for a really clean 323i, if you can find one. 320's aren't worth a ****.
The 323i desperately needs an LSD and decent suspension.

So what 323i would have come with an LSD & the dogleg... or were these items just expensive extras specified when new?

We dont seem to see many around where i live, let alone really nice, clean ones, but no doubt if 1500 quid bags a good two-tone one, i would buy it in a second...
