996 beard is still bushy

Good to see someone bought a limited edition Lambo and actually used it: 92,000 miles

Red one is lovely, but the wheel colour is ghastly.

Cat d is a problem, especially as it is quite vague, perhaps corrected after much legal wrangling by Porsche?

Agreed on wheels - and I hadn't spotted the Cat D - which now I've read it again seems very odd.

I like the augmented wheels - not sure i'd fancy driving a 996 with 19" wheels, but the certainly look the part!

The last one is a bit of a curve ball

A bit?

I like it. And I'm about as far from 'scene' as you can get.

I love a Razor Edge Ghia, that's an early one too. They rust a lot and are pretty rare for some reason

Maybe I’m out of touch with what’s cool but why did they need to put such big wheels on it? I bet it’s rubbish to drive on those wheels...

The 323i though. I bet that’s fab to drive!

I still love Calistos

The Swedish authorities wouldn’t have agreed with you!

I did enjoy mine though, more than my E30 Sport at least.
Rare with the dogleg too I should think

Anyway, similar ....but different

Ad seems a little odd - the car is badged with Alpina and B6/2.8 badges? But is a 316 with 320is running gear, whilst the ad just seems to contain some general history about the 323i and S14 engines??

Nice looking motor all the same.

I quite like this bitsa that I noticed recently, with an E46's 2.5L and only £10k compared to some more batty pricing:

That is very nice!!

[bungle]

I'm not a BMW fanboy at all, but I really like that!

Its the single lights that do it.

[Chris Stott]

Single lights, stance, wheels...

That does look good. But once again why have they put such big wheels on it?!!

Also I remember when I first saw a 323i with double headlights - it looked so cool. We got so used to them with the E30 that I agree - single definitely looks cooler now!

[golfer19]

It would be a lot nicer with a set of BBS cross spokes.

323i model banned from sale there after a spate of accidents

It was looked at closely in Germany by ADAC as well

Did enjoy mine .....although they were £500-£600 bangers when I had them

Brings back memories of my 323i. It never failed to surprise how easy it was to end up facing the wrong way on a roundabout after too much enthusiasm in the wet. A valuable learning exercise for my then 20 year old me!
