1983 BMW 3 Series 320i

1983 BMW 320i Alpina tribute e21 This BMW (E21) 320i is a stylish classic coupe, with a few tasteful upgrades. While the next owner may wish to make some minor improvements, this 3 Series is ready to use as-is. Fresh from a detailed cleaning, it would make a smart weekend cruiser, and could be a great basis for further customization. KEY FACTS A usable modern classic coupe, with an Alpine White finish and Anthracite fabric upholstery. It is powered by the 1.8-litre ‘M10’ inline-four, producing around 101 bhp and 100 lb-ft of torque, coupled to the five-speed manual transmission. Originally delivered to German Car Sales in Tucson, Arizona in August 1982, now with just three keepers on the logbook. It was looked after by BMW dealers until 33,409 miles, with independent maintenance since then and was serviced by the current owner around a month ago. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Finished in Alpine White, this 320i rides on 13-inch Alpina-style alloy wheels. The upholstery features black vinyl for the seat-backs and sides, and Anthracite velour cloth for the main seat panels. The fabric is in excellent condition. The car is now equipped with an aftermarket, Carplay-compatible stereo with USB ports. It has an upgraded sound system with a JBL amplifier and 8” subwoofers (from the late-80’s), and period-correct door-mounted speaker pods with newer components. Factory features include air conditioning (disabled) and a sunroof. Aftermarket Hella fog lights have also been installed. The car now rides on upgraded Bilstein shock absorbers to enhance the ride and handling, along with H&R lowering springs and the wheels are shod with Kenda radial tires. The full-size spare comes complete with a matching wheel. Zender front spoiler/splitter has seen better days. With the lowered-stance, the spoiler has cracked toward the bottom, horizontally. The look is still amazing, even with a crack. Its original owner’s manuals, service book and toolkit will be included.
