1983 Bmw 320i E21 All Original Ca Blue Plate In Pristine Condition on 2040-cars

1983 BMW 320i E21

TRANSPLANTED TO MASSACHUSETTS

PRISTINE ORIGINAL CONDITION

I AM AN HONEST EBAY BUYER AND SELLER AND A LONG TIME BMW ENTHUSIAST. I HAVE ALSO BEEN A LONG TIME MEMBER OF THE BIMMERFORUMS WEB SITE 

I HAVE OWNED MANY E21'S OVER THE YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER RUN ACROSS ONE AS CLEAN AND ORIGINAL AS "BINKY" (NAMED BY ORIGINAL WOMAN OWNER FROM GROVER BEACH,CA)  IT WAS BROUGHT TO MASSACHUSETTS BY ME LAST YEAR.  

THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE.  IT WAS BABIED BY ITS ORIGINAL OWNER FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS. THIS CAR WAS GARAGED IT'S ENTIRE LIFE.    

THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO SANTA MARIA BMW ON 2/25/83 AND I HAVE EVERY RECEIPT AND REPAIR FROM 1983 UNTIL 2014 IN A NEAT FOLDER.

A COLOR COPY OF THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS ON THE WINDOW (SEE PICTURE). THE ORIGINAL IS IN THE ORIGINAL FOLDER MARKED "BINKY"

ORIGINAL SAPHIRE BLUE SINGLE STAGE METALLIC PAINT THAT SHINES LIKE IT JUST CAME OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR.  

ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST. ALL BODY PANELS ARE ORIGINAL AND DAMAGE FREE.

NO DENTS - NO DINGS (AND I MEAN NO DINGS) AT MOST JUST A FEW TINY STONE NICKS AND A FEW TINY SCRATCHES THAT WERE TOUCHED UP (TOUCH UP PAINT INCLUDED). THE ORIGINAL EXTERIOR IS AS CLOSE TO SHOWROOM QUALITY AS I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR A 1983 BMW.

ALL RUBBER AND SEALS ON DOORS-TRUNK-HOOD ARE TIGHT. NO WATER LEAKS ANYWHERE. 

INTERIOR IS NEAR PERFECT. THE INTERIOR IS CLOTH AND NOT THE CHEAP BMW "LEATHERETTE" THAT WAS HORRIBLE. IT IS HARD TO SEE BUT THE MIDDLE SEAM OF DRIVERS SEAT BOTTOM HAS A LOOSE THREAD.  THE REMAINDER OF THE INTERIOR IS PERFECT. NO RIPS-NO TEARS-NO CRACKS. THE HEADLINER IS BEAUTIFUL.  THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT (BEING 30+ YEARS OLD) IS WORN BUT I WILL NOT REPLACE IT.

AS YOU CAN SEE I SWAPPED THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL FOR ONE FROM AN S PACKAGE. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL IN THE TRUNK.

NOT ONE DASH CRACK

FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING THAT BLOWS ICE COLD (NO SYSTEM LEAKS)  ALL VENTS (HEATER ,  DEFROST AND FRESH AIR) WORK PERFECTLY WITH NO STICKING. HEATER AND DEFROST BLOW NICE AND HOT (SYSTEM RECENTLY FLUSHED WITH NO BLOCKAGE)

SUNROOF OPERATES PERFECTLY IN BOTH FULL OPEN AND FRESH AIR POSITIONS. THE SUNROOF DRAINS ARE NOT CLOGGED AND DRAIN TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE

ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS FUNCTION PERFECTLY INCLUDING REAR DEFROSTER AND CIGARETTE LIGHTER (THAT I ONLY USE TO CHARGE MY CELL PHONE)

THE RADIO AND CASSETTE WORK FINE - NOT THE GREATEST SOUND QUALITY BUT AGAIN, ALL ORIGINAL AND I HAVE NO INTENTION OF REPLACING.  THE POWER ANTENNA SOMETIMES STICKS 1/2 WAY ON THE WAY UP BUT A QUICK ON/OFF RESOLVES THE ISSUE.

THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS A DEALER INSTALLED OPTION THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL.

THE CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL BMW GLOVE BOX FLASH LIGHT THAT STILL WORKS AND HOLDS A CHARGE.

MECHANICALLY THE CAR RUNS BEAUTIFULLY. IDLES RIGHT AT 1100 RPM. 

THE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY WITH NO OUT OF SINC ISSUES OR GRINDING.

ABSOLUTELY NO FLUID LEAKS (AND I MEAN NO FLUID LEAKS OF ANY KIND)

ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKE ON STRONG ACCELERATION AND ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKE ON DOWN HILL DECELERATION AND HARD BRAKING.

THIS CAR CAN EITHER BE A DAILY DRIVER (MY PREFERENCE) OR A CONCOURSE VEHICLE  AND GARAGE QUEEN.  

MY MOVE BACK TO A SMALL HOUSE IN BELMONT, MA FROM MY 2 ACRE LOT IN CARLISLE, MA PREVENTS ME FROM KEEPING MORE THAN ONE CAR.  I PROUDLY OWNED A 1973 2002 AND 2 1983 E21'S.  I CHOOSE TO KEEP MY 1983 HENNA E21 WITH S PACKAGE. IT IS ALSO PRISTINE.  

I HAVE EVERY DOCUMENT FROM DAY 1 ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING ORIGINAL STICKER , OWNERS MANUAL, RADIO MANUAL AND SERVICE BOOK. A COLOR COPY OF THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS ON THE CAR. THE ORIGINAL IS SAFELY IN MY FILE.
