1978 BMW 3-Series (Green/Tan)

Price: US $20,000.00 SOLD OUT

This 1978 BMW 320i remained with a single owner until 2020, and then I acquired it later that same year. Subsequent work included refinishing the exterior in metallic light green, installing seats with tan leather upholstery, overhauling the suspension, fitting 15″ Enkei wheels mounted with Yokohama tires, and replacing the battery as well as clutch and brake components. The car is powered by a 2.0-liter M10 inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes pop-out rear windows, a Spectre Performance air-intake system, a tubular header, and a Bluetooth-capable Pioneer stereo hooked to Pioneer speakers. This E21 has 132k miles and is offered with a stamped service booklet, manufacturer’s literature, service records, removed factory parts, photos of the refurbishment process, and a clean Florida title. The car was refinished in metallic light green during current ownership, and exterior equipment includes bright trim, black bumpers and side moldings, pop-out rear windows, and a chrome-finished exhaust outlet. Photos of the repainting process are provided. 15″ Enkei wheels with gold faces and polished lips wear 195/50 Yokohama Advan Fleva tires mounted in December 2020. The suspension system was overhauled during the refurbishment, and the rear brake drums along with the front pads and rotors were replaced in August 2020. The removed factory 13″ wheels are included in the sale. The interior features replacement seats trimmed in tan leather along with a black dashboard, console, and door panels. Interior equipment includes black rubber floor mats, crank windows, and a Bluetooth-capable Pioneer stereo hooked to Pioneer speakers. The battery has been relocated to the trunk, and the removed factory stereo and black cloth-covered seats are included in the sale. The entire engine was overhauled during my ownership, with work including replacing the oil pan gasket, starter, alternator, timing cover gasket, distributor rotor, engine mounts, and various other gaskets, fluids, and filters. Modifications include an aluminum radiator, a body-color valve cover, a Spectre Performance air-intake system, and a tubular header. LED lights are mounted in the engine bay, and a strut tower brace is fitted. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a Getrag four-speed manual transmission. Records indicate the clutch components and cylinders were replaced in August 2020. Manufacturer’s literature, a stamped service booklet, original purchase documents, service records dating back to 1996, the factory black cloth seats and 13″ wheels, and photos of the refurbishment process are included in the sale.I have over 200+ pictures of the engine being overhauled, the restoration, prep, interior exterior, etc. Please feel free to email me for further pictures or videos. I spent thousands of dollars and 8+ months of hard work and labor into car. Please do not waste my time if you are not a serious buyer ready to buy. Walkaround Videohttps://youtu.be/kneGNAo32Ug - The cars idle was adjusted after video to lower Idle speedhttps://youtu.be/DidtxbN4jGQDriving Videohttps://youtu.be/zL8xjA7LaLgReverse https://youtu.be/sZcLPtlQ4e4Radiohttps://youtu.be/DCx1VECRNjUInterior Lights https://youtu.be/rvRCC9Mqo7UReving Carhttps://youtu.be/KUsC-VIKHU4
