Description of 1983 BMW 3-Series

For sale is my '83 E21 320i - Not wanting to sell, ut a move away from Santa Monica requires it. It's a straight, lean, river, ot concours but a very nice car that runs fine - drives well, nd does all it's supposed to. The previous owner put in new front end components, hocks, rake lines, rake shoes and pads and improved the drivability of the car. 5-speed shifts fine, as good pickup, t's as good a US spec car as you'd find driving wise. Body is in very good shape - original Safaribeige paint is still shiny and nice - it's been kept out of the sun. As far as I know the car has never been in an accident, nd the body supports that. There is only one small wear spot on the trunk, ut the rest of the car is very presentable. Interior is straight and clean, rivers seat could use a re-cover and re-stuffing but its workable as is. All the rest of the interior is fine, he dash has the usual couple of cracks, ut it's not trashed by any means as you can see. A/C is all there, ooks like new tubing was put in, ut the air won't go on when the switch is turned - maybe a bad switch, ut I would have changed the compressor to a Sanden if I went that way. I live close to the beach so it wasn't a concern of mine.
The car ran slightly hot, eedle always slightly around half so I swapped out the radiator for a replacement one and new hoses. It runs properly, sually around 1/3 the way up now.
Exhaust has a couple of small holes by the bend before the muffler, ve used muffler weld to seal it and it's fine - don't drive it enough to warrant a full exhaust, ut that will have to be addressed eventually if used regularly.
