Bronzit '84 323i

[323iNathan]

Just like to see what you guys think. Its a work in progress but I'm getting there, the interior has just been trimmed. I've found that the bronzitbeige is a hard colour to get on camera well (and I have a sh1t camera), but here it is:











And my tech I kit waiting to be painted and installed. This won't happen til near the end of april because there was a hail storm here in December and all the panel beater/ body shop places are booked out til then. Our E36 318i was written off in the storm . I learn't to drive in that car, but it'd definitely seen better days, mechanically A1 though.








Plans for the future:

Repaint black trim black
Get dark tinting
Centre console without tape cassette thing
Some shadowline

and maybe:
HID conversion

and maayybee:
M54B30 (I can dream)
otherwise M52TUB28


Thoughts? Suggestions?

What a lovely interior!

[Jindmahi]

a very nice but different, would look good de-chromed , lowered with azevs tech1 or tech2 family used to have one ages back...used to turn heads

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Nah keep the chrome. Go for old school Euro look. Deep dish wheels, decked, minimal look and clean as poss.

Finally u posted some pics. I still cant get over the seats, just kidding

oh by the way, u better take the wheel size sticker on the b pillar off, u don't want the cops to see it and then look at your wheels

I say get the tech1 kit on there and sort out the faded black trim, lower it a tad and job done Still looks lovely as it is though.
I'd do away with the wheels though
Looks like a fantastic retrim

Very tidy. I love the interior and have never seen one in brown before.

[blyoss]

Definately keep the chrome, looks like nice car on the inside

[323iNathan]

Very tidy. I love the interior and have never seen one in brown before.

Neither had I, but it was in factory material when I bought it. Then I found the sport seats and thought I'd go with leather. It was finished mid december, so it still smells lovely too. The leathers not a perfect match for the original, but you don't notice a difference unless you're looking for it.

Looks like a fantastic retrim Cool

And i got all seats and doors retrimmed for $1120 (in leather). I thought that was pretty reasonable. One guy quoted me between $1600-$2000 for the front seats, I couldn't believe it!

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll post pics when I've got the kit on, but as I said before it won't be for a while yet so don't hold your breath, haha.

De-chrome it!!!! and change those horid wheels, azevs keskins or even kerschers with a deep dish will look phat! I am speaking from experience used to have a tech2 325i 2dr in bronze beige metallic dtm exhaust 60ml drop on azevs and had the chrome window trim removed and was preped and painted to a polished mirror black finnish, the only thing that was left chrome was the kidney badge!!!!

hey very tidy e30 havent seen one like that for ages can i ask who did you re trim for that cost im in brisbane but all im getting is mega dollar quotes also got to go with the members from uk do something about those wheels i know that getting a decent set in australia for a e30 is hard thats why i imported a set of alpina rep wheels from uk check out ebay uk i think a mob called save on tyres are offering them for about 270 pounds cheers mate

The guy that did my interior is a guy called Duncan - Duncan's Motor Trimming, located in Riverstone (NSW, not Riverston QLD, its near Windsor if that helps), search for him on yellowpages, thats how I found him. If you go with him ask him to write a quote up for you, cause he didn't for me and there was a bit of a dispute, but problems solved, and i have my leather . And I might have a look into ebay uk, I always wanted to end up with some BBS wheels, RK or RX (from memory).
