    Finally, E21 FS

    I'm in school full time, have two kids, and a 100 year old house that sucks up any extra money. So, it will be years before I'm going to have a chance to finish this car, it's just better off going to someone to wrap it up.

    It is a 1983 320is Alpine Edition (meaning it came with color matched wheels, door handles, and mirrors).

    The car is currently on jackstands, without a motor or transmission. I was set to send it off to have a M20B25 installed and then my life got too busy, kids were born, and house needing repairs stopped that from happening.

    E21 Goodies:
    Euro bumpers, with a spare rear, spare rubbers
    Euro 316 headlights, in very good condition, almost perfect glass
    Two sets of Recaros
    Adjustable rear subframe
    Euro 323i M20 front subframe with arms
    BBS air dam
    Zender trunk spoiler (this model almost never comes up for sale)
    the just as hard to find Zender side skirts
    a couple other trunk spoilers
    Italvolanti Formel Super steering wheel
    it has a dash cap
    Euroweaves with newer tires (less than 3k miles)
    H&R 20mm spacers (needed to run E30 wheels)
    Ground Control coil overs, camber plates, and rear strut mounts
    Hartge front strut bar
    rear strut bar with integrated battery mount (bar welded in)
    Optima yellow top.
    headunit/amp, upgraded speakers
    NOS of almost every body seal still in the package
    Several sets of door cards
    urethane bushings all around
    Euro center console
    mandrel bent 2 1/2 exhaust
    E30 M20 ceramic coated headers (probably Ireland)

    This covers the bulk of it I think. Overall, there is about $10k spent on this car. It’s a pretty great project if you know what you’re doing and have some time and money to throw at it. All the hard to find parts are already there.

    $5k. Trades considered.

    When I first got it:




    And then I started making it mine:

    Very nice car especially for an E21, since most are delapidated. Seen in person several times.

        Thanks guys. I know it takes a brave person to spend this much on a project car, let alone an E21. I do have to say, after having 5, if you want an E21, this is where you'd rather start out. Most of these parts are extremely hard to find, and require getting them shipped from Europe.

        I do have a nice older gentleman around retirement age that's coming to look at it Wednesday.

        Maybe I'll rejoin the E30 ranks once the E21 sells.

                  No sir. The swap was going to happen at Dynasport, and Ryan was going to supply the tranny and motor.

                  And thanks for all the kind words everyone.

                      I've always liked this car. Bummer that you're finished with her but hopefully it'll go to a good home. Great seller.:up:
