Absolutely stunning vehicle. I saw online this when it sold on Bringatrailer for 33k. I own a 323ti Individual as well, it's in 413 Fidschigrün and supposedly it's 1 of 3 in existence. I saw a Fashionred 323ti for sale in Germany which wasn't this one for sure, so there must be at least 2, although this one is clearly unique in its incredible condition. What a gem.
Nice to see 323ti is in US :). One of my first cars was E36 316ti and after years I had possiblity to buy 323ti with open air top. Even in Europe it is rare spec and I enjoy it so much
@@pavelpauliepetras Oooh, yes. I LOVE California Tops. Still on my bucket list! I’ve ALWAYS wanted one! 😍 Yes, I’ve thought about shorter videos, but there’s just so much to say about these great cars. I don’t want them to be rushed. I’m going to continue to consider it, and maybe I’ll find the perfect run time eventually!
Wow, what a car...As someone from across the pond in the UK, I remember the ti's very well and in fact, I now have a BMW 128ti which I just bought and it is a fantastic piece of kit but what a nice find you have and you brought it over to the US...must be rare! The 200BHp must make it really nimble and quick as the weight of the car is so much less than the overweight cars of today...
@@vMaxHeadroom Thanks for the comment! Very cool that you have a 128ti!😃 Indeed, with the extra power this thing is pushing, it certainly makes for a spirited drive! Especially in the higher RPM range.😃
Brings back many memories. My first BMW was a '95 Cordoba Red (Burgondy) 318ti. I'm just across the mountain from you here in the Northeast. If you ever consider selling her then let me know.
@@danielwatts9803 That’s awesome to hear, dude! So glad to have a local viewer! I hope you watch my other videos and subscribe as well! Do you currently have a BMW? Even though this is a step up from the 318ti, I still kinda yearn for a simple, no frills, 318ti to putz around town in.😊
I wanted a 318ti as a daily missile in Europe they are the last bmw's for a reasonable price and many are unmolested cause they were considered ugly and the cool kids rather destroyed coupe's and sedans. I was about to pick one up for 800€ but in the last minute I've found a vanilla 323ti in montreal blue for 2k. It is in a good shape but I started spending on it to make it nicer sourcing a proper plated lsd for it etc...
That's awesome, man! Good point on most of the ti's being unmolested because the kids preferred ti drive the coupes and sedans into the ground. Never thought of that!
@@mikeypv6 Yeah, those are cool! I think the earliest ones are 25 years old now, so should be easy to import into the USA! Perhaps I’ll get one of those next!😃😊
It looks like the your rear bumper valance is cut for the exhaust tips. You can still order the 323ti part new, though there maybe a reason yours is modified
@@PricklyPearACif this is the one from BaT it’s cut for the larger tips of the aftermarket muffler. You can see the cuts in the photo. There should be plastic on the sides of the diffuser where the cutout is. You can get a new 323ti diffuser stateside from a few sellers.
@@CSI_tuning_solutions Oh, I know which ones you’re talking about. Not sure why one would want to do that! The facelift ones look so much better! But it’s all subjective.😊
@@PricklyPearACA m52b25 making over 200hp without upgraded cams nor the big M50 intake manifold and just a tune is just not feasible. and that dyno number is most likely crank HP and not wheel In Europe or Germany it's most likely crank HP which would still be 37hp more than stock b25.

@@pavelpauliepetras Thanks for sharing! That’s awesome! Is the open air top the same as what is known as the California Top here in the USA?
@@PricklyPearAC exactly, California or Open Air. Thinking about short video may be interesting for viewers?

I've made a 3.0l version of this car for daily use, it's a very cool car Indeed i got it in hellred color
@@eastviper That’s awesome! What exactly did you do to it? Hellrot is a great color for the ti’s.
Yes 👍 the engine and exhaust note are great sounding on these e 6 cylinder cars
@@SEANPOL203 Indeed! BMW made some of the best sounding engines at this time.😊
Gorgeous car... love it ❤

@@zk9964 It’s not cut. That valance is an M-Technic/M3 version. They are like that from the factory.

@@zk9964 Could be cut. I’ll have to look at it closer. Either way, I don’t really care, so I won’t be changing it. But thank you for the input!😃
@@zk9964 I did check and it’s cut to fit the exhaust tips. Good eye!

Get the inward facing kidney grills and this will be absolutely ACE!!✨
@@jackfalls1722 I’m not familiar with that!
@@PricklyPearACit's the preface lift e36 Kidney grills. Swapping those in requires retrofitting the whole front metal facia piece. But yeah. No

Nah a 323 did not dyno at 207whp. That's what a M54B30 puts down.
@@idokwatcher2062 I have a dyno sheet to prove it, sir! It’s modified.
@@PricklyPearAC UK dyno printout is probably at the crankshaft. The M52 engine needs an M50 intake manifold and headers to make over 200whp.
@@idokwatcher2062 The dyno printout is from Germany, not the UK. 160.7kw, which is 215bhp.

@@CSI_tuning_solutions Fair enough! Whether it’s crank or wheel, doesn’t really matter to me. The car is for fun!😃
