Calling BMW connoisseurs. Tell me about this car...
I've got first dibs on this Swiss registered BMW 323i E21. Trouble is, I don't know too much about this particular model. It may be a stupid question, but is that black trim on the bootlid standard? I'm also guessing those bonnet scoops are not. I'm hoping a few on here will appreciate this model and be able to tell me more? The sellers (two French brothers) are not being too forthcoming with a ballpark price which either means it's not worth an awful lot and they are hoping for an over the top offer from me, or it's worth a hell of a lot and they are hoping for an over the top offer from me...
1980 323i (1.6 petrol), metallic green, 64,000km, short-throw 5-speed manual, 4 summer wheels/tyres, 4 winter wheels/tyres, all original parts, paperwork all present and correct.

Based on normal BMW nomenclature of the period, shouldn't a 323i be a 2.3 litre 6-pot?
A friend has an E21 - I will ask him for comment on this one

146hp seems a lot for 1.6 of that age

323 is 2.3 straight 6
Don't remember them ever having twin 'zorsts either. Scoops on bonnet are addons as is the spoiler If they are being cagey I would walk away to be honest. (What do the seat covers hide?)

I'm curious - what's the attraction of this particular example? It wouldn't be in my top 10 BMs, or even in my top 5 small BMs, but maybe that's just me...
