Good Morning People.

About the rims, they are 17".

About the kit, i the front vallence is MtechII, the "wing", it says zender, the rest of the pack, i think Jordan said it looked like Racing Dynamics.

I bought the car, and he went straight to the mechanic, to fix all the problems he had.


Thank you for all of your comments.

The car will be detailled after the repair.

you need to just pull tha comlete motor out of there and then spend a few days cleaning everything. you would be so much happier in the end.

The engine is a 323i.

Some new updates:

The Head has arrived straight and clean:




Hope to get the car running until the end of this week.

The engine bay will be cleaned, when... i don´t know.
The shop that is working on the car, knows what he´s doing.
The guy who is fixing the car, worked 7 years in BMW.

Thank you for all your comments :D

"The engine is a 323i." whoops, i was just going off what i read in your sig... it says baur 320i...

[BavarianBimmer]

the M20b23 is hotter to drive as an M20b25 ;)
I liked my 323i alas the engine died a long time ago :-|

The engine was swapped by a 323i.

In my signature it´s a 320i.
For everybody is a 320i :)

Here in portugal it´s very difficulty to legallize a new engine.
The 320/23/25, they look the same from the outside, so it´s very difficulty, for the pollice or the Anual Inspection to see if it is or not the 320i.

New Updates:

Engine all in the place, with the head mounted



At this point i asked the mechanic to show me the engine running, (the engine is without the complete exhaust system), he start the engine and the car looked like an American Muscle Car.
Roaring like crazy.

But there was another problem, the distributor (don´t know the specific name in english), was "glued", due to the age,rust,... (this was on saturday)

Yesterday, at the end of the day, and after 1 big bottle of rust free like WD40 , the MF, unglued from the engine.

Now it´s time to tune the engine, and ready to roll

After a big engine cleaning...
