Bought a parts car
For some time I have been looking for various parts for my E36 318is and 325i, things like a nicer set of wheels and interior parts.
The other day I saw an advertisement for a cheap 323i that had been written off after an accident. It had a nice set of 17" wheels, a black leather interior and seemed to be mostly in good condition (aside from the accident damage of course).
The car has only done around 150,000km and has had a few thousand dollars spent on it recently.
I negotiated with the seller and a deal was done for $600 and I had the car towed home (less than 10km) for $75.
I have it home now and all looks good except one of the tyres has some major sidewall damage due to the accident. It came with a few bonuses like the original radio, original lights, and a Bentley workshop manual.
Now to get off what I want and sell the rest, then somehow dispose of the left overs!
I ran the VIN through a Russian BMW VIN decoder website and here are all the specifications and options.
