1978 323i S50 Propan New update 2017!

[Propan]

Yes. I am already booked in Am Tiergarten for the OTGP.

Newsflash- the car is for sale

[uwbuurman]

NOOOO!!!! Why???

[Propan]

I've decided to built another one more directing to trackdays etc. If I mount a full roll cage og everything in this one the value will be less. It is street legal and need to be in future. More racing now and the car is not the same anymore. But it is not sold for just a penny. So if it is interest in the car for the value i mean it has i'm ok with letting it go. And then start building a new e21 next season. But for now it is not sold and don't hope it is interest before end of season either.

[Propan]

Forget it,I`m not selling.

If I am to build another car I will probably loose my girlfriend and kids...

Last time it took me 5 months with work,every day after work and all weekends. Cant do that again to them.

So after some days of thinking, I will take this car a bit further next season rather than building a new one.

S54 and roll cage are already in the workshop ready to be worked on

[uwbuurman]

Wise decision, though I don't know your girl. But it sounds like the smart thing to do

[Propan]

Long time no see

I have started this year`s modificatons on the car.

New LSD diff is already mounted on the car.

3.46 (3.25 last year) and a 75/30 motorsport lock should do the job





I also have ordered brand new Recaro Pole Position seats. I am tired of sliding sideways in the oem Recaro`s.



With the alu Recaro mounts it will be nice.



And maybe the biggest modification I have done this year on the looks is a roll cage from Heigo.
Full cage with all options. I have maybe used 3 days polishing it

Still not perfect,but it looks good enough




I also did a mod to my steering wheel this year. It was so thin and slippery in leather.
Gave it to a local saddler (?) and requested alcantara with the M stripes inside. Looks quite fantastic!
Also the rear parcel shelf they made up i alcantara because of the mods to the rollcage.




First wash 2017!

[croma_man]

Beast !!!

I was just wondering what your plans are.

[uwbuurman]

Cool seats!!!

[Jeroen]

Ahhhh finally! love the alcantara on the wheel! Was that done by a local supplier? Pricey?

And the car is ready for 2017 now? Or do you have more work planned on short term?

[Propan]

About 300 Euro for steering wheel and the rear shelf.
Almost ready,need new exhaust next week.
And the Recaro Pole Position did not come as scheduled. So mounting in the original Recaro's until they come.
