    PNW FS: Euro 85 323i, delphin, 2dr, recaro ORegon

    So i am putting this out as a feeler. I have recently purchased a couple more cars and I have been considering getting rid of my delphin euro. Its a 1985 323i, delphin gray, 2 door 5 speed. I am the 3rd owner and Ive had it for about 4 years. I bought it with some slight front end damage and replaced the hood, LF fender, drivers door. grilles, lights and front bumper center section. the center section was bought brand new from the dealer with some new trim pieces in the front. The chassis has 220,000 miles but the engine was fully gone through at 190k i have the receipts, i believe the engine total was $3400. new pistons, bearings, reground cam, etc. it has euro H1 headlights, factory recaro option interior in a gray/black checker. 4.10LSD, H&R cup kit, cabrio front sway bar. as it sits its on gold euroweaves but i have other wheel options as i may want to keep those. I have been daily driving it on and off for 4 years and it is my most reliable car. Gas milage is not great as other 323i owners know. L-jet is not the best for MPGs. Car pulls very hard maybe the "reground" cam that i have no specs on? it will pull with a 325i no problem. Ive had it on the scale at 2350lbs. No power steering (real manual rack) crank windows, crank sunroof, digital euro clock (no obc) no cruise control, no pop out rear windows. its a real drivers car. Turner motorsport cross drilled rotors and whatever pads they match with those. Divers fender is not delphin grey its duplicolor storm gray rattle can (very close though) hood is a delphin respay, door is factory delphin but not from this car. Feel free to ask questions or chime in. many of you have seen this car at local meets and such, I've had it a long time. it was at the e30 picnic this year.

    Asking $4000 or offers or trades

    -Mac









    The day I bought it:

      Nice car, good luck with the sale. What makes the 323i 500 pounds lighter than a 325i? Or did you do some weight reduction mods on this particular specimen?

            you must be sitting in your 325i when you weighed it, even my US spec 325i weighed in at 2680 with a sub and system. I de-federalized my bumpers and doors, took out the sound deadening mat in the trunk. 323is have aluminum engine mount brackets. these are all things that make it lighter. Right now the car has a full 325i exhaust with cat. the federalization hack job exhaust was removed shortly after i got it. All red tails, panasonic mp3 head unit, 15% tint, this car gets looks everywhere and a lot of "did you tuck your bumpers" and "they didnt make a 323i did they?"

              nice car. damn fair price too. alot of that power this and that adds alot of weight to it as well. ...plus the 323i didn't have any of that sound-deadening tar under the back seats like all US cars did... not to mention a small case rear diff instead of the medium case difs that all US m20 e30's had

              i don't know if i could let go of my 323i for only 4k... but then again mine's not really a 323i anymore either :P but it does need alot of TLC, it never ends.....

                        Wow somebody needs to buy this 323!!! I've seen this beauty many times. Extremely straight car. Runs and drives perfectly. It's surprising quick and has been meticulously maintained. This is a great example of a well cared for grey market that belongs in someone's heated garage or a museum. GLWS Mac!

                              What does it currently look like? It's rather vague. Having some larger more detailed photos will help as you also know.
