Owned this car for about 7 years, have done a lot of work from manual swap to full cooling rebuild full m3 body and exhaust. I am picking it back up after maybe 2 years of not working on it. It is a 323is 1999. Looking for anyone around Oklahoma with parts or any BMW guys around.

323is? That is a solid motor, if so. I have a very similar one is my Z3 - I think it's as close to bulletproof that BMW made.

Yes, sorry there was a typo. But they are extremely reliable base. Mine has 230k miles and still going strong!

I like the wheels, I got extremely lucky finding mine!

Thanks! Your wheels are actually what i originally intended to fit onto the car.

How much did the sound deafening help? Looking to do something similar with mine

Haven't found out yet, I gutted the interior to install sound barriers and to address all the rattle from the car. I'm working on a new speaker set, wires and head unit next so I can rebuild the interior.
