nice car
good luck on the sale, I know you don't have time, but it's just better to part it out
you'll get a lot more money back
you can easily pull out the mods and sell it for 15k, and the car for 15k

Yea, to me it seemed like a good value buy. The check engine is due to running to cats with the turbo.
I think that I am going to take the turbo off, and part out as much as I can. Thanks for the support.
If anyone is interested, the car is still going to be on the market. MAV1231@aol.com :peace:

The car has cold start problem, no A/C (with the Turbo), and will not pass inspection for many states...wonder why the car won't sell??
I'd make it street legal first and part the turbo. '00 323 sells for 10-12k in general stock but I'm not sure how much your mods are going to add to the value (normally mods are worthless during sale...) I used to have a modded Honda and the dealer won't even take it until I returned it back to stock.
Good luck on your sale. Nice car though.

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
You should list a price for your car without the engine modifications. I think that'll make it sell so much more quickly. If it were a 330 I'd certainly be considering it a little more. Good luck anyway

My unsolicited advice: Replace the heartagrams (pentagrams) on the hood and trunk with either stock BMW badges, black/white BMW badges, or Hamann badges.
Seriously, what are the chances of anyone buying this car knowing about H.I.M much less actually wanting a Heartagram on their BMW?

I'd be willing to bet that whoever buys your car (and it is a very sweet car) will take them off.
My point is that if it's not adding to the car, it's taking away from it.
Good luck!

I 100% agree with you. If one is buying a BMW or a Benz, they want the logo on it. I had them on the car because it was a 'theme' for the car, and upon sale, I was (am) going to have them returned back to the BMW symbol. But you brought up a great point that it would help with sale. Thanks :thumbup:
