supernom 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2011 Hi all. I am looking at buying this 1980 BMW 323i E21 found here http://tinyurl.com/4mfakzr (I live in Melbourne). I am just wondering if anyone here knows about this particular model and can give me tips and advice on what to look for. Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OP6 27 Report post Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Looks as though the seats on this one came from another E21, usually blue seats means blue carpet and door trims. As Camb said - rust, I would suggest you find out who did the body work and talk to them about the car. There is a forum ( Bimmerforums) in the USA with quite a few Aussie members, get on there and ask for one of them to suss out the car for you. Being relatively rare someone will probably know it. It looks as though it has been lowered too (IMO they need it| and normally E21's do not drive very well on 16" wheels so the suspension probably has had work. Interesting wheels.
