Hello E21 Enthusiasts, Up for sale I have my beautiful silver (Polaris-Metallic) 1981 BMW 320is. If you're looking at this page, then you already know that this the Rare "is" 320 model that came equipped with all the goodies. This is a good example of an Unmolested, Matching Numbers, Non-Smoker, Solid, Original Plate California Rust Free BMW E21. Please scroll down to the very bottom to copy/paste the YouTube Videos and Photos Links. I've been a BMW Collector/Enthusiast for 3 decades now, I'm getting too old to keep up with all my cars, so the time has come to part ways with this one... I believe I'm the 2nd owner, I've had this car for about 6 years. It's been a "Sunday car" which explains why I've put less than 1000 miles on it during the entire time of my ownership. I bought the car from a public auction, unfortunately it came with no records, so I had to pretty much go through everything myself. Started off with a re-spray back in 2013, along with lots of services that piled up over the $10k mark, but turned into a beautiful classic that drives great while getting compliments everywhere I go... WORK done in the last 6 years of ownership: New OEM Door Window Rubber Moldings + Exterior (6 pcs) Moldings, Clips, Sunroof Seal, and Hood Heat Shield New OEM Shocks, Mounts, and Caps New OEM Master Cylinder + Slave Cylinder New OEM Radiator New OEM Crankshaft Pulley Seal New OEM Drive Belts New OEM Air Intake Rubber Boot and Air Filter New OEM Hazard Flasher New OEM Shifter Rubber, Leather + Knob New OEM BMW Emblems New OEM Rear Brakes Cylinders New Wiper Blades New Rear Subframe Bushings by Garagistic New Catalytic Converter + OEM Muffler + Tip (recently passed CA Smog Test with no issues) New Battery from Costco (last year, still under warranty) New complete OEM Large Tool Kit New Leather Wrap on the steering wheel Rebuilt A/C Compressor A/C Serviced (last month, see video) Oil changed every 6 months with Castrol GTX (last month) along with Redline Gear Oil on the Diff. New Bosch WR9DS Spark Plugs (last month) Valve Adjustment Job and New OEM Valve Cover Gasket (last month) New OEM Fuel Pumps, Sending Unit, Filter, and Fuel Lines above the Fuel Tank (which was also flushed) All 5 Original BBS-MAHLE wheels were reconditioned, riding on 5 New Tires (under 300 miles) Rear Shelf Panel was reupholstered 4 New Speakers (factory size) sound great with an old vintage Alpine Radio Brand New Set of 4 COCOMATS New Dash Cover (not permanently glued to the dash) The seats are Original and in very good condition (except for a small split in the driver seat), I had the rear bench redone with new foam(see photo, had to get rid of the old dry messy horse hair). Front Seats have NEW Straps underneath (see photos). Most of the work was done by Vanik over at Bavarian Auto Repair in Sun Valley. He knows E21s better than anyone in LA. The few issues with the car that I didn't get a chance to deal with since they were not that serious, are: Oxygen Sensor Light is permanently on The Door Buzzer doesn't work (possibly missing) Glovebox Light is there, but disconnected A tiny chip (the size of a lady bug) in the front windshield I've managed to keep this car very clean for a while now, and would hope to see it go into good hands... CLEAN and Clear Title, Pink Slip in hand. IF YOU'RE LOCAL, PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR A "TEST DRIVE". I DON'T HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT. I HAVE POSTED VIDEOS TO OFFER EVERYONE A "TEST DRIVE" AND SHOW WHAT THIS CAR IS ALL ABOUT, WHETHER YOU'RE DOWN THE STREET OR 3000 MILES AWAY. ITS ONLY FAIR...Serious Buyers ONLY! Please note that you are bidding on a 37 year old used car and it has been subjected to normal wear and tear, both cosmetically and mechanically. I described the vehicle as accurately as possible, however, there's no possible way to include every detail and imperfection. All deposits are non-refundable. This Vehicle is sold "AS IS" and "WHERE IS". Shipping and/or Transportation are the buyer’s responsibility. A $500 Non-refundable deposit through paypal will be due within 24 hrs from the time the buyer commits to purchasing the car, and the balance will be due within 3 days (cash in person or bank to bank transfer only).
