Since owning it I’ve done loads of little details, including 60 quids worth of genuine 323i badge (£30 for the ‘323’, £30 for the ‘i’…), new weighted gear knob, new seals around the door handles, painted the grille, rebuilt the door cards, fitted a Bluetooth Blaupunkt radio, and sourced a nice set of 16” genuine BMW style 32 alloys with Pirelli tyres. I’ve also got 3x sets of M Sport twin blade wheels and the original 15” wheels, all available by separate negotiation.
Drives perfectly. Pulls very well. Sounds lovely.
Bodywork is great for the year. It’s not one million percent perfect, there’s a few small age related marks here and there to the paint, but none of it looks wrong, and I’d say I’m a fusspot. There’s absolutely no rust or bubbling to any of the arches or sills or underneath, as these usually do.
Interior is overall very smart, again some age related wear but far less than you are likely to see on most of these.
Private plate PXI 998 is available by separate negation.
