Very cool. It's a world of difference with European bumpers. Good luck with your sale!

AND the 2.5 motor. These cars really come to life with the 6 cylinder, not to mention the other stuff too.  The US really got screwed on the e21.

Nice wheel.

Cool car!   Just noticed it pop up on Bat and didn't realize it was yours.  Should do well!

The steering one.

I had a 320/6 for a while when I was in the UK. Maybe not as tossable as an '02, but so smooth. The 323 is a step up again.

If you'd had the 320/6 over here instead of the 320/4, maybe there would be more E21s on the road & less '02s.?

I have always been amazed at the huge leap that BMW made from the '02 with the interior of the E21.  The 2002 is adequate but very basic, not many frills.  The E21 with the sorta wrap around driver focused dash and huge dials, overall finish and feel is incredible.  The exterior is nice too, but I think the E21 marked the beginning for BMW modern interiors.

The progenitor of things to come. If only CA would lift the smog rules for cars older than 1975, e21's would become much more interesting.  Good thing is this car is upgraded with an e30 motor and is CARB approved for smog testing etc... But you still can't get crazy with engine mods. I suppose it all won't matter in another 30 years as cars will be banned from cities and gas will cost $25 a gallon cause everything will be electric and thus no resources will be making fossil fuels for internal combustion machines.  I hope I'm wrong but I'll likely be dead in 30 years.

Absolutely! My favorite BMW dash, followed by E30...

Wow.  Super cool.  Looks really fun to drive.  Good luck on it.

How much does a $50 brief case with a million dollars sell for?  

 

Anyone follow the comments made by one guy comparing this car to a case of money? 

 

good stuff. 

[tashakes]

Yeah. I saw it and I don't get it.  The whole story is there, and even though some of the bits aren't in the car, the motor is available for the new owner to have the option to do whatever they want with it.  And there is real documentation that it was a tuned car at one point in history.  Me, I am the biggest un-purist around, so i would keep the M20 and enjoy the crap out of it. 

 

It's like if my '02 was once owned by Jenna Jameson (I can dream).  Is it original? Pffft, don't make me laugh.  She would have never sat on the replacement Recaros or have touched the replacement Mountney steering wheel. Would I boast that it was celebrity owned? Youbetcharass!  GLWA.
