Who is more of a deviant us lot or Jonathan king ?, drooling over pictures of an e23, is it legal?. P.S the wheely bins in the background are a nice touch, there is definately the makings of a gag there !.

That's SUPERB!!
Sorry, but I've got a thing about Brown (no Bottom
jokes please....).
I had a brown Porsche 944. A Brown Corsa (Nova)
SR. And a caramel brown 1978 XJS V12 (sick!).
My 1998 750i is Impala brown metallic with Chestnut
'leathers', BMW Individual apparently. Well, at least it
was cheap..........
Phillip, you must be a wealthy man - it's still on
Metrics!

I always thought E23's looked too high at the front.
They look better when lowered. Angle grinder out
and cut a coil off each side (I did with mine)

Isn't it strange nearly 20 years seperates the first of the 'clapdoor' 'continentals (1961) and the first of the e23s(1977), the continental still looks fresh and imposing with real presence where as the e23 looks very dated and ordinary.

This honey belongs to Rob, lucky chap, paid beer money for it, virtually a free car
I agree E23's ride way too high. Are BMW sport springs/shocks still available? if not does anyone still make sport susp. parts for E23? AG is the guru on this topic.
I put 16" E38 rims over 225/55 boots on my E23 - hides some of that excess ride height.

I couldn't get the sport suspension from my dealer, but that's not to say they are not available, aftermarket? I don't think anybody stocks parts for these cars in this bracket. But your best bet would be to have a chat with Walloth und Nesch, as they could still get Bilstein shocks for the e23, but at a price.

thanks AG. I reckon there are some New/Old Stock sport springs & shox out there somewhere. We've just gotta find 'em!

The mods will whip your butt for language!
the car is totally awesome - no rust, no dents, the type of e23 we dream of finding lurking on Fleabay but never do.
Makes mine look like rusty rubbish
