The 1982 BMW E21 320is

July 6, 2015 by BavTek

1982 BMW E21 320i

So in May of 2012 I purchased this garage beauty from a Older lady in Los Angeles. She had owned it since 1985 when it was purchased Certified Preowned. Couldn’t believe my eyes as to how clean the paint was and well kept. Certainly not withouts its defects but definitely above the rest of the E21’s out there. It was Cosmetically sound (very important for me since I hate doing body work, and messing with rust and mismatched paint colors etc.) but mechanically sluggish and unresponsive and unreliable (which is OK for me since I know mechanics and electronics). So this was the perfect project for me.
