THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner at NO RESERVE is this rare collectible classic 1977 BMW 320i two-door sedan!
Finished in "Fjord" blue metallic over navy blue, this 40 year-old E21 chassis BMW shows just over 85,500 miles on its "SOMETIMES" working six-digit odometer.

It features a factory crank sunroof, factory air conditioning, 13" alloy wheels with decent rubbe, original WORKING Blaupunkt stereo, reclining bucket seats, It is being sold with California title, current registration and a comprehensive file of maintenance records.

I ALSO HAVE DOZENS MORE DETAILED PHOTOS BY REQUEST!
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in fair to decent condition overall. I would rate this car a respectable ten-footer, Upon closer inspection you will see nicks, chips, fading and a few isolated corrosion areas most notable a few inch hole at the right front corner base of the windshield, along the side windows and bottom edge of right side door. The good news is that this car has super solid shock towers front and rear.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this car is in fair to good ORIGINAL condition overall. Positive attributes include working Balupunkt radio, working sunroof, lights, blinkers, heater and horn. Imperfections include worn and torn seat upholstery, missing headrest, missing radio knob and general fading inside the car. With all of its patina, it is still a cool classic cockpit.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This little 320i starts perfectly with very good running engine, nice shifting transmission, good solid braking, tight steering and firm yet supple suspension and quiet exhaust. There is an usual fuel stutter when taking a low speed right turn. Otherwise, this is a still quite enjoyable car to drive down the open road.
