Museum Quality E21 BMW - 1983 320i with Alpina Upgrades - near perfect condition.So this is a pretty rare little car here. Purchased a few months ago while looking for a commuter vehicle that still had some vintage BMW appeal.The car is truly a one of a kind. A true head turner, with a bit of spunk in it as well. There is literally nothing that this car needs. This little gem showed up and was about 7 out of 10 based on running condition and maintenance. However, right off the bat, the starter died. I took it to BMW of Murray (yes, a dealer), who went over it with a fine tooth comb. They found a ton of tiny things wrong but nothing major. All work was performed by them including valve adjustments and factory recommended plugs (which were roughly $40 each), and a new starter. End result is that it purrs like a kitten and while its not a rocket off the line, it will cruises along at 110mph as smooth as a 7 series. (Yes, a good e21 will cruise at high speeds) Discussions with the techs at BMW lead me to the conclusion that this was not a cloned car. Basically all its missing at this point is a euro motor. The suspension is a full Alpina spec set up. We looked at the installation and the parts, the work is just too old to be new.It was his opinion, that the car was probably dropped at an Alpina tuning shop to get what upgrades were possible for a US spec car. He was also in awe of how clean it was, in, out, and under.From that point I had the car professionally cut and polished at a very reputable local body shop. That did the final trick. The color came back with a vengeance and the paint is smooth like glass.My problem now is that I live in a state infamous for its salt, snow and weather. Weather that will destroy a car like this. So its up for sale, to a new owner who can hopefully keep it well. It needs absolutely nothing. Drive it anywhere. A list of pro's for the little e21:Completely original. No crappy add ons.Coolant overflow in Alpina method.Front Strut tower braceRear strut brace with battery relocationNew YellowTop OptimaNew starterBoge Coilovers3.93 LSDNo leaks, no oil, no trans, no nothing.5spd Getrag Trans.Full Ansa ExhaustNew ball joints in frontFront end gone over and all seals and bushings replaced.All bushings in the rear replaced (links and such)Interior is perfect.All seats are 100%, no rips, splits or tears.Carpet is green. thats all I can say.AC works well and blows coldHeater and fan are 100% Defroster is working correctly.Hazard switch is not broken.Aftermarket Alpine headunit with IPod interface.NO RUST ANYWHERE.320is steering wheelAlpina Dead PedalAlpina VIN tag (was in glove box) This car really is too nice to daily drive. The only thing that keeps it from being an absolute 10 is the pin-striping is a little faded and there are a few tiny dings on the rear quarter panel. Difficult to see but they are there. She starts and runs flat and true. Really does not need anything. Another item of note is that she is running all synthetics, and no leaks. If you have played this game before, you know that putting synthetics is most older cars will create leaks. Questions, please ask. Its a true, rare collector piece and there aren't a whole lot of e21s around anyway.
