Early Model 323i in Showroom Condition. (New Pics Page 5)

my mind is even more blown now, does the full set include front and rear windshields ? and where does one get this and how much is it? thanks

I love the way the brown windows make the interior look... It's just something you don't see on any other car and it makes the leather look even nicer when looking at it from the outside...

just a heads up, my windows are made by a different manufacturer (can't remember the exact name atm)... are you sure those are factory?

Incredible!


I would seriously consider doing a trip over to the BMW Welt building.,.. drive up and offer them a chance to buy it back (ask for some factory perks, Nurburgring driver's school, free factory tours for life, ect. etc. in return) and see what they say.


I know of one gentleman whom they took it up his offer and he got some pretty neat perks.

I've had someone offer me 14k (10000EUR) for the car recently... but there's no way in hell that I will be selling it. select cars that are at least 30 years old and in original condition are eligible for historic registration in Germany, this one should have no problem being registered, which will increase the value even more... we'll see what the offers will be like once the car reaches that age an gets that registration (not much longer). But I ended regretting it when I sold my previous e30's, I dont plan on selling this ever... the e30 will keep getting even cooler as time passes...

Agreed! Over a cardinal interior they look awesome too! :)

Yes sir. All ordered straight from BMW itself. The windshields are usually made by Pilkington, and this color is only available for early models.

All in for the glass would be about 800-1000. I worked at the stealership for a while, so I git it much much cheaper.

Here is a link to it. All of it has to be shipped from Germany as it wasnt available in the US.

just took a peek inside the garage to make sure... my windows are made by a company named "delodur"... i guess there must be two diff. suppliers then...

There is actually about a half dozen that made BMW's e30 glass. Sigma, Sekurit, Pilkington, Soliver, obvioustly 'delodur' and there are a couple more.

Smart man. This is truly a dream car. congrats on the find! i really enjoyed the pics

e30 at it's best!

what a car! :)

You are a brave man--I would not be able to own that car. It makes me happy looking at it though.

some engine shots as requested...







the only thing bothering me are the dark spots on the valve cover... does anyone know how to make it look new again?

[325ix]

Greatest bronzit ever! Hands down. Please don't do a thing to it. I have never seen an E30 that clean, it looks like it was just bought brand new.

That 1 series hatch is also damn good looking in it's own right. I wish we got those in America.

ok, this was inevitable, I can't keep cars stock!

i just picked up a set of 16" alpina wheels...

my plan is to make an alpina c2 2.3 replica... unfortunately I have no idea how to source the needed parts.

does anyone know where to get the alpina pinstripes and c2 2.3 badges?
