1979 Gray Market 323i
Just checking to see if anyone out there has one of these as well. Parts are easier to find than people who know what to do with them LOL!

very doubtful. not many E21s here, and even less likely that we have a gray market anything. very nice  although i think i already mentioned that i think you should go back to the chrome kidneys and remove the ///M badge

I think I'm the only kid on the block with one like this.
Got new Hartge badges on the way, and I am looking for chrome kidneys as we speak.
Take care...Nice ride.

A guy I know has an E21. Not sure if it is a 323, though.

Hartge badges going on because Hartge did the initial mods. H3 head etc. Thanks for the input.
I'm with you on the //M badges (previous owner did it).
Thanks for the input.

AFAIK there are some 323i's in the country brought back by military people. Because of their service, they have an easier time clearing customs

My H3
I've had my H3 for almost 20 years and I have never seen another like it. I have many original Hartge sales and price catalogs for the E21 dating from 1979 thru 1989. I probably have more info about the E21 H3 than does Hartge. Even though my car is the best, Hartge has little brand name (aside from wheels) in the States, so people don't recognize the rarity of it. Check it out and you'll see what I'm talkin' bout.
