My Techno Violet 328i Individual build

[Gizmo]

I just picked this up for a song this morning, needs some TLC and an engine as half of it was in the boot and the rest missing. 05/1998 328i Individual baby! Not sure what Im going to do with it just yet, only time will tell.
She has 206 000km and has been off the roads since 2006/2007, the motor popped and the owner couldn't afford to fix it so he scrapped the car at the end of 2007 meaning its now code 3...:bangdesk:
It has been sitting somewhere for over 6 years and got hailed on at some stage, PDR here we come. Can someone confirm if the car is Daytona Violet or Techno Violet?
Anyway, time for pics.

Awesome car Giz raise:raise:raise:

She is now in the best hands she could ever be in :thumbs:

See link for your colour question - http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?707501-Daytona-Techno-Violet

I Quote :" In pictures they almost look the same, but Daytona is more Barney-purple; Techno is almost purple-black.

Daytona was only offered in 1995, whereas Techno was offered from 96-99."




Hope this helps! :thumbs:

Nice find Gizmo, she still has lots of potential. All the best with the restore :bravo:

This car also contains this option:

S961A Sondermotor SPECIAL MOTOR

A quick google search says the motor contains Alusil alloy, instead of Nikasil. Wonder why the motor went at that mileage???

The sidewalls of the wrong sized (235/45/17) Michelins are cracking with age but at least the staggered M contours are looking good.

Probably overheated, found a 2lt coke bottle filled with water in the boot...

All original glass, all power windows working, sunroof working, all lights working and the list goes on...Besides the missing head block and sump and the dents she is a pretty good car, give me some months and it will be a great car.:thumbs:
