Belmont, Massachusetts, United States

1983 BMW 320i E21

TRANSPLANTED TO MASSACHUSETTS

PRISTINE ORIGINAL CONDITION

I AM AN HONEST EBAY BUYER AND SELLER AND A LONG TIME BMW ENTHUSIAST. I HAVE ALSO BEEN A LONG TIME MEMBER OF THE BIMMERFORUMS WEB SITE 

I HAVE OWNED MANY E21'S OVER THE YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER RUN ACROSS ONE AS CLEAN AND ORIGINAL AS "BINKY" (NAMED BY ORIGINAL WOMAN OWNER FROM GROVER BEACH,CA)  IT WAS BROUGHT TO MASSACHUSETTS BY ME LAST YEAR.  

THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE.  IT WAS BABIED BY ITS ORIGINAL OWNER FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS. THIS CAR WAS GARAGED IT'S ENTIRE LIFE.    

THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TO SANTA MARIA BMW ON 2/25/83 AND I HAVE EVERY RECEIPT AND REPAIR FROM 1983 UNTIL 2014 IN A NEAT FOLDER.

A COLOR COPY OF THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS ON THE WINDOW (SEE PICTURE). THE ORIGINAL IS IN THE ORIGINAL FOLDER MARKED "BINKY"

ORIGINAL SAPHIRE BLUE SINGLE STAGE METALLIC PAINT THAT SHINES LIKE IT JUST CAME OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR.  

ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST. ALL BODY PANELS ARE ORIGINAL AND DAMAGE FREE.

NO DENTS - NO DINGS (AND I MEAN NO DINGS) AT MOST JUST A FEW TINY STONE NICKS AND A FEW TINY SCRATCHES THAT WERE TOUCHED UP (TOUCH UP PAINT INCLUDED). THE ORIGINAL EXTERIOR IS AS CLOSE TO SHOWROOM QUALITY AS I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR A 1983 BMW.

ALL RUBBER AND SEALS ON DOORS-TRUNK-HOOD ARE TIGHT. NO WATER LEAKS ANYWHERE. 

INTERIOR IS NEAR PERFECT. THE INTERIOR IS CLOTH AND NOT THE CHEAP BMW "LEATHERETTE" THAT WAS HORRIBLE. IT IS HARD TO SEE BUT THE MIDDLE SEAM OF DRIVERS SEAT BOTTOM HAS A LOOSE THREAD.  THE REMAINDER OF THE INTERIOR IS PERFECT. NO RIPS-NO TEARS-NO CRACKS. THE HEADLINER IS BEAUTIFUL.  THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT (BEING 30+ YEARS OLD) IS WORN BUT I WILL NOT REPLACE IT.

AS YOU CAN SEE I SWAPPED THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL FOR ONE FROM AN S PACKAGE. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL IN THE TRUNK.

NOT ONE DASH CRACK

FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING THAT BLOWS ICE COLD (NO SYSTEM LEAKS)  ALL VENTS (HEATER ,  DEFROST AND FRESH AIR) WORK PERFECTLY WITH NO STICKING. HEATER AND DEFROST BLOW NICE AND HOT (SYSTEM RECENTLY FLUSHED WITH NO BLOCKAGE)

SUNROOF OPERATES PERFECTLY IN BOTH FULL OPEN AND FRESH AIR POSITIONS. THE SUNROOF DRAINS ARE NOT CLOGGED AND DRAIN TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE

ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS FUNCTION PERFECTLY INCLUDING REAR DEFROSTER AND CIGARETTE LIGHTER (THAT I ONLY USE TO CHARGE MY CELL PHONE)

THE RADIO AND CASSETTE WORK FINE - NOT THE GREATEST SOUND QUALITY BUT AGAIN, ALL ORIGINAL AND I HAVE NO INTENTION OF REPLACING.  THE POWER ANTENNA SOMETIMES STICKS 1/2 WAY ON THE WAY UP BUT A QUICK ON/OFF RESOLVES THE ISSUE.

THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS A DEALER INSTALLED OPTION THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL.

THE CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL BMW GLOVE BOX FLASH LIGHT THAT STILL WORKS AND HOLDS A CHARGE.

MECHANICALLY THE CAR RUNS BEAUTIFULLY. IDLES RIGHT AT 1100 RPM. 

THE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY WITH NO OUT OF SINC ISSUES OR GRINDING.

ABSOLUTELY NO FLUID LEAKS (AND I MEAN NO FLUID LEAKS OF ANY KIND)

ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKE ON STRONG ACCELERATION AND ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKE ON DOWN HILL DECELERATION AND HARD BRAKING.

THIS CAR CAN EITHER BE A DAILY DRIVER (MY PREFERENCE) OR A CONCOURSE VEHICLE  AND GARAGE QUEEN.  

MY MOVE BACK TO A SMALL HOUSE IN BELMONT, MA FROM MY 2 ACRE LOT IN CARLISLE, MA PREVENTS ME FROM KEEPING MORE THAN ONE CAR.  I PROUDLY OWNED A 1973 2002 AND 2 1983 E21'S.  I CHOOSE TO KEEP MY 1983 HENNA E21 WITH S PACKAGE. IT IS ALSO PRISTINE.  

I HAVE EVERY DOCUMENT FROM DAY 1 ON THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING ORIGINAL STICKER , OWNERS MANUAL, RADIO MANUAL AND SERVICE BOOK. A COLOR COPY OF THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS ON THE CAR. THE ORIGINAL IS SAFELY IN MY FILE.

109,420 CLEAN CONTACTS OF AC POWER SWITCH

X4 launch to spearhead BMW crossover onslaught at NY Auto Show

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

It's no secret that crossovers are one of the key vehicle types driving today's auto industry profits, and nowhere is that more true than among the world's luxury brands. BMW became one of the first players in the luxury CUV segment when it launched its original X5 in 1999, and buoyed by that model's runaway success, it followed up with the X3 in 2003, the X6 in 2008 and the X1 in 2009 (though the latter didn't make it to the US until late 2012). It's replaced the X5 twice since then and the X3 once, but the Bavarian automaker isn't about to let matters rest there.
First off, a production version of a new X4 model is expected at the New York Auto Show in April. The model was previously rumored to be earmarked for reveal a month earlier, but a new report from Autocar suggests that the previously mooted reveal date and location were inaccurate. The X4 is expected to apply the same controversial slant-back formula to the X3 that transformed the X5 into the X6, which will in turn lead to an update for the X3 as well.
But that's not all. Autocar also reports that before 2014 is out, BMW will unveil a revised X6 at the Moscow Motor Show in August, which will in turn be followed by upgraded versions of both the X6 M and X5 M. These high-performance crossovers are tipped to pack the same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 as the outgoing versions, albeit with higher outputs than the current models' 555 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. All this, and they're still expected to simultaneously improve fuel consumption and emissions figures.

Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Driftmob' [w/videos]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



All this, for one minute and 47 seconds of action-packed footage with no official plot.
We arrive in Cape Town, South Africa, on the third and final practice day for the drivers of a BMWStories internet video called The Epic Driftmob feat. BMW M235i. We are immediately whisked to a large, empty parking lot on the outskirts of Cape Town, where tires are squealing and chunks of rubber are flying as five red BMW M235i coupes churn up more smoke than a California wildfire. And the smell - it smells like heated metal, the kind of thing rev limiters are made for. Times five.

This BMW 2 Series ad has run afoul of Aussie ad watchdogs [w/poll]

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

A complaint by an Australian movie-goer has put the brakes on an extended in-theater ad campaign by BMW, and drawn the attention of the country's Advertising Standards Board. According to the anonymous complaint, the ad "portrays an unfavorable message, contrary to safe and sensible driving."
The ASB upheld the complaint, which said the ad for the new M235i showed driving "typical of hoon activity," thanks to the burnouts, dusty drifts and runs up to redline. It's that last one that seems to have gotten the spot in the most trouble, with the ASB acknowledging that even though the car wasn't shown breaking the speed limit, the ad was in violation of a voluntary code of conduct for automotive advertising, according to Australia's Go Auto.
BMW doesn't seem to agree, pointing out that the ad uses creative editing, aggressive camera angles and other filming tricks to "add visual impact."
