Simca 49 Report post Posted December 15, 2020 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2902392206?bof=7HzS8hQF It's an '85 323i according to trademe and carjam but has the facelift body (taillights and bumpers) and doesn't match the original colour at all. It says it has been resprayed but can't imagine they'd put in so much work to redo the engine bay and inside the doors to me. Comes off mildly fishy to me...

Sammo 2544 Report post Posted December 15, 2020 There is mention of a body kit, maybe required FL bumpers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leichtbau 525 Report post Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) It's got pre facelift front and rear metal valances. More likely a tail light panel swap. Edited December 15, 2020 by leichtbau 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted December 15, 2020 Its a shame you cant see, but the biggest give away would be if it has a sunroof, i guess. Hard to swap that. I actually really like the look of that car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammo 2544 Report post Posted December 15, 2020 Not such a fan of the dark wheels but its a purposeful looking car - looks pretty clean interior wise as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slideways 47 Report post Posted December 16, 2020 Definitely has all the signs of being a 85 car like no side indicators and the old engine to body loom adaptor etc but when you look at the rear guards and lights, they are Facelift. Looks like a FL shell has had near everything swapped in to it from the 85 car. Or they really have put the lower rear PFL guards and lights section on to the old car which seems unlikely. Id easily be able to tell what's up if i had the car in front of me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
