Sorry but take your attempt at a for sale publicity thread and lose it. Classifieds is all you need. This should be closed.

Yes mate, 323i use a 2.5ltr engine. It was called a 323 as it was "de-tuned " for german tax laws to 170 bhp, Same applies to a 328 there de-tuned to 193bhp. If you change the throttle, inlet manifold (off a M50 325i), induction kit and put a 328 exhaust on a 323 and you'll make 20bhp+!!!

Hi mate.. Lovely beemer you've got there, pretty sure I recognise it. Wouldn't happen to be from round Wrexham way would you?

That top pic also looks pretty familiar, is it up the top of Hoseley, sort of back of Marford that way? I may be completley wrong....
