Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1983 BMW 320i, featuring a retrofitted M42 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, is presented as a project car. Despite recent mechanical updates like new suspension and a refurbished engine, it exhibits notable cosmetic and functional issues, including body repairs, interior wear, and inoperative accessories, requiring significant attention.
Condition
4
The car is described as a 'running and driving project' with several noted issues. These include a replaced left door and repaired left quarter panel due to prior incidents, repainted hood, inoperative AC, intermittently functioning climate control blower, static-filled radio, sagging sun visors, damaged driver's seat bottom requiring tape, seatbelts needing assistance to retract, corrosion on the trunk floor and hinge, torn CV axle boot, and high engine revs at highway speeds. While it has a newer engine and suspension components, these numerous cosmetic and functional imperfections place it in the 'Average' category.

This 1983 BMW is a running and driving project that is said to have been sold new in Germany before it was imported to Texas in the early 1980s.
It was acquired by the seller’s father in 1986 before ownership was transferred to the seller the following year.
The car was reportedly stored from the late 1990s until it was relocated to Georgia in the 2010s, and it was re-powered with a 1.8-liter M42 inline-four in 2020.
Finished in Alpine White over black leatherette, the car has been retrofitted with H&R lowering springs, Boge front struts, Bilstein rear shocks, and an aftermarket speedometer.
