Is it a E36 or E46? you need some more info really before you can put a value on it, as it could be a standard car with the acs options or a full blown acs car.

scnhitzer is usually just accessories which could be ordered when new off the bmw extras list,

wheels
bodykit
pedal covers
other trims

hence just a cosmetic upgrade not worth much more.

could be wrong though but unless it comes with a bill from when it was converted I wouldnt believe it.

Sorry chaps, i'm new to Bmw's

its an E36, 323 . not sure on the engine size, would i be right in assuming its a 2.3? He wants 1500 quid for it. I fancy something new as a daily. Its all good, i'm going up this weekend to have a look at it anyway.

coupe i assume?

323i is a 2.5l, the 323i had 170hp and the 325i (also 2.5l) had 192hp

the AC stuff is just extras but on a 323i i doubt it was factory fitted, its probably priced about right but its not cheap by any means

i sold my 323i for £1500 this time last year, and it was mint, 323i are a strange one as most will go for the 328i or 325i

1997 R plate

323's from when i was looking don seem to fetch as much as as said above the 325 and 328s get the money then price jumps agian upto m3's but i paid £1900 for a 328 vert in good nick dropped on h & r coilys. if its what you want though then i dont see £1500 a bad price to pay for a good car. 323 is restricted by the inlet so 325 inlet will up the power nice for you too

I thought the E36 325i was only 170bhp? And the 328i was 190bhp?

God BMW don't half making it confusing

its very very unlikely to have an LSD in it.
Easy way to find out of course!

If it has you could probably sell the diff for £500 to anyone doing track days with a 328.

The 323i is a 2.5 170 bhp engine. I own one and it is a very good car but be careful as there is a lot of rubbish about. the ACS bits could consist off a front splitter/bumper, rear valance, side skirts, spoiler, exhaust tips, various interior trim pieces. It could break for a few quid or would be a good daily if it is a tidy one.

the 325s and 328s have near identical peak power output IIRC, but the 328 is still a much quicker car with more torque.

lots of people put the 325 inlets on the 328s which seems to "de-restrict" them and give them 200+bhp

aye ^ a common conversion is to put the inlet & throttle body from a 325i onto the 328i
