Hello E21 Enthusiasts,
Up for sale I have my beautiful silver (Polaris-Metallic) 1981 BMW 320is. If you're looking at this page, then you already know that this the Rare "is" 320 model that came equipped with all the goodies.
This is a good example of an Unmolested, Matching Numbers, Non-Smoker, Solid, Original Plate California Rust Free BMW E21.
Please see all photos and videos below to appreciate. In case they don't show up on here, contact me so I can send you the links.
I've been a BMW Collector/Enthusiast for 3 decades now, I'm getting too old to keep up with all my cars, so the time has come to part ways with this one...
I believe I'm the 2nd owner, I've had this car for about 6 years. It's been a "Sunday car" which explains why I've put less than 1000 miles on it during the entire time of my ownership. I bought the car from a public auction, unfortunately it came with no records, so I had to pretty much go through everything myself.
Started off with a re-spray back in 2013, along with lots of services that piled up over the $10k mark, but turned into a beautiful classic that drives great while getting compliments everywhere I go...

Most of the work was done by Vanik over at Bavarian Auto Repair in Sun Valley. He knows E21s better than anyone in LA.
I'vemanaged to keepthis car very clean for a while now, and would hope to see it go into good hands...
