E30stz 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) yeah I was more saying the colour doesnt look the stock original colour. I realise its been repainted. Not sure whether its hennarot or the other colour.. ahh .. cant think of the name. The reason I said have you been seeing the car for a year... is hte previous owner had been selling it a year ago for a fair few months and just thoguht he gave up and kept it. Just for reference how many km's has the engine / shell done. Edited April 5, 2006 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just for reference how many km's has the engine / shell done. Thanks for your comment.

pug'n 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 hot, hope you get the money you're after man probably mentioned but is it a 4 or a 6? mechanical injection? great cars, def my favourite 3 series, awesome cars.. to note - most guys on here wouldn't flinch at spending $7k plus on an e30 "m325" which are often fairly substandard condition, and, essentially nothing really special by any means. an e21 IMO speaks volumes over most e30s in syle, rariy, and general collectability. they are of course "the first 3 series" awesome styling cues etc. would love a 320/4 or a 323i in mint cond someday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JUst some facts to answer your question Its and inline 4,stock would be 125hp and just found out that the 320i first came out to the world in 1976 and in europe 1977. And it is jetronic fuel injected.thanks mate for comment and questions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 very very nice. Makes me want to own another E21. Ive owned a E21 and an E30, I like the E21s more. Especially in looks. A lot more interesting now that its a 320/4. The 320i four cylinder goes a lot better than the E21 320i 6 cylinder (I had one) I definatly think that is a good starting point for a price on a mint one such as this. It's hard to find one without rust. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh mate that would be right as it was rebuilt in Rotorua,the dash has a crack on top common in most bmws but has a black mat over it which looks mint.If possible it would be good to get some more information from your mate about what they did, and how long ago it was exactly, cheers mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
