I would reach out to @Luis A. He had a beautiful red 323 with houndstooth check interior. When he was selling it, I thought seriously of buying it as the 320i was my first BMW when I graduated college in 1977.My first BMW was a 1981 320i. Slow, awkward but I miss it (sold in 1992). I am thinking of searching for a 323i, anyone have experience with one of these, the drive, the repairs, parts availability? Sure I don't have a 2002 nor an e28 but for some reason, this car is interesting to me. Opinions welcome.
