Classic 1982 Bmw 320i 290k Miles on 2040-cars
Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
|
Trying to give a very detailed description here but can answer questions about the car via email or phone. The car books at average retail for about $5200 on NADA....I am asking $2450 or best offer considering there are a few issues with the interior and a scratched hood. It would not take a great deal more money to put into this car to make it near mint condition....my guess is about $1500 for some interior work and repainting the hood and this car would look fantastic.
I'm the 2nd owner of the car.... I purchased it in 1995. The car runs great and honestly has amazed me as far as I've never had any issues mechanically out of it....just your basic maintenance stuff that every car needs. I've replaced belts, plugs, changed the oil, etc but have never had any issues out of the engine mechanically. I need to sell it because I never drive it and I need the space back in my garage....I started to fix it up a couple years ago but realized I don't have the time to put into it and again, I just really need the space back. About 2 years ago it had been sitting for about 5 years without being driven so the belts were all rotted and it was the first time ever that I had not been able to get it started. I had a shop go and change the belts, plugs, tires, and even got it painted. So all that stuff is basically new and I haven't driven it very much at all in those 2 years. Long story short....it runs very well and you shouldn't have to replace any of that stuff any time soon. Now....since it is so old, there is obviously some little things here and there that don't work any more or have worn out. Below are things the buyer would either need to fix or simply live without. Sunroof - the crank for the sunroof broke about a year ago and since it hasn't been used in a while, the cabling for it might need to be changed as well. This is common on these cars and they do have replacement parts for it so it can be fixed. The crank itself will cost you about $70 and the cabling will probably cost another $50 or so. Interior - There's a big rip in the drivers seat and the arm rest is cracking up too. The back seat and the passenger seat are in okay condition but the arm rests in the back are discoloured from when it used to sit out in the sun. I had this looked at a year or 2 ago and it would cost in the neighborhood of $1000 on the low end to $2000 on the high end to have everything in the interior replaced or re-finished....that includes the carpet and all apolstry. The dash is cracked, however I puchased a dash cover specially made for that car that makes it look brand new...I just haven't put it on. It cost me $100 and obviously will come with the car. The lights on the dash no longer work, the gauges still work fine, but the odometer no longer works....it stopped at 281,897. I have probably put on about 8,000 miles since it stopped working so the car has somewhere around 290,000 miles on it at the most.....again, these engines go forever, it's amazing. Air - Air conditioning does not work anymore but I know exactly what is wrong with it. The condensor on these cars lock up if you don't drive them and use them. I know this because I had to replace it before.....I will have to look up what that will cost you to fix....I have the documentation somewhere. The cabling behind the dash is and has been damaged almost ever since I've owned the car. So the annoyance here is that you can't really transition the air to defrost or to your feet. It's kinda locked where it is. Not sure how much this would cost to fix, but it would involve removing the dash and re-doing all the cabling for those flaps. It's never bothered me too much so I've just never fixed it. They now have these parts more readily available online so it can be fixed. All signals work fine, however the right park light has not worked for a while....I replaced the bulb and it still doesn't work. Someone that can really dig into it could probably fix it. Hazard light switch does not work but is an easy replacement....you can order the part for about 15 bucks or so and easily install yourself. Exterior - I had it painted 3 years ago and it looked great....however there are some blemishes now. My wife sat some heavy boxes on the hood of the car and they scratched it pretty good. I got a quote to have that repainted and it would cost $345 to have that re-painted. There is one scratch in the back where one of my kids hit it with his bike....it's pretty small and not super noticable, but it's there....I can send pics of this stuff for anybody interested. There is also a dent on the driver side door that I may try to just pop out....it's pretty small and there is no paint issues there, just needs to be popped out. There is also a rip in the front bumper strip (the rubber piece - you can see in the photo)....they sell these for about $80 online and it can be replaced.....I just never fooled with it. Aside from the hood, the car looks exactly like it does in the attached photo's. There is some rust in the trunk, which is very common with this make and model due to how the sunroof drains. It is certainly repairable via do it yourself or any shop could make the repair. Will take serious offers...contact me via email. |

Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo torquing its way toward Frankfurt
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Few tuners benefit from the kind of factory support that Alpina does, giving the pseudo-aftermarket firm nearly as much official status as BMW's own M division. And this is its latest product.
Set to debut, as expected, at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week is the new Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo, which you can consider, for all intents and purposes, the diesel M3 that BMW never built. While the outgoing D3 (which was Alpina's best-selling model) used a four-cylinder engine, Autocar reports that the new model packs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six diesel to drive a respectable 345 horsepower but a mammoth 516 pound-feet of torque to either the rear wheels or all four through the optional availability of xDrive. (European buyers will also be able to choose between sedan and wagon bodystyles.)
The engine is the same as you'd find in the XD3 and D5 (Alpina's diesel performance versions of the X3 and 5 Series, respectively), but in the lighter 3 Series form can propel the D3 Bi-Turbo up to 62 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds and on to an Autobahn-crunching top speed of 173 mph. And as per Alpina tradition, visual cues are minimal, with a subtly optimized aero kit and 19- or available 20-inch alloy wheels. Unfortunately, the 7 Series-based B7 is the only Alpina we get on this side of the Atlantic, but an oil-drenched performance enthusiast can dream.
Check out the trick way you access the tire valve on this BMW Alpina B6
Wed, 22 Oct 2014The wheels are one of the first things you notice when checking out the 2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe. The 20-inch aluminum alloy rollers have 21 spokes that spray out from their hubs, creating one of Alpina's signature design features. But there's also plenty of function to go along with the stylistic form of this hotted-up BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe.
By rotating the Alpina roundel and unlocking the center hub, you gain access to the tire valve and bolts, which are hidden inside. They're literally kept under lock and key, and they protect your Alpina's wheels from the elements and theft. This unique center-fill system employing a hollow spoke isn't a new setup for the favored BMW tuner, but since Autoblog had one in our offices this week, we thought we'd take the opportunity to show the unique mechanism in case you haven't seen it before. Check it out in our brief video below.
BMW 2 Series shows us its insides
Tue, 16 Apr 2013We've already seen the upcoming BMW 2 Series testing in both coupe and convertible body styles, and now we're getting our first glimpse inside the new entry-level coupe. Judging by the sportier exterior that we've seen in previous spy shots, this car appears to be equipped with an M-Sport package, so this is likely not what the base interior will look like.
Compared to the current 1 Series, this new coupe will have cleaner cabin design including fewer buttons on the center stack and an instrument panel with more of a dual-brow design. This car has cloth seats with what appears to be a suede-like accent trim and blue stitching, and the seat's pattern is mimicked on the door panel. The 2 Series will also have a better integrated iDrive controller that operates the widescreen display mounted atop the instrument panel in a similar fashion as what we've seen recently on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and CLA-Class.
As mentioned about the exterior, the bigger wheels, blue brake calipers, dual exhaust outlet and subtle decklid spoiler all lead us to believe that this is the M-Sport, but it isn't sporty enough - inside or out - to make us think this is the rumored M2 model.
