Description
I have been methodically doing a rotisserie restoration of this car since 2001. Along the way, I've been acquiring hard-to-find, period-correct performance parts to include in the remade car. I have scrubbed, sealed, and repainted the entire undercarriage and replated or replaced every fastener on the car. Nearly every piece of plastic and rubber has been replaced. Every functional component has been replaced or reconditioned.

History
This car has been in the family since new. Always a southern USA car: never driven in snow and never any rust. It was stored and undriven from 1990 to 1997, when I got it from my brother-in-law to rescue it from neglect. It began as a 320i USA spec, 5-speed in Graphit metallic. It now has all the elements that make up the factory "S" package and has been repainted Imolarot.

My first e21 was a 1977 320i that I bought new. I've been a BMWCCA member since 1973 and a BMW enthusiast since owning a 2002tii that I bought new in 1972. They have all been great cars that are fun to drive and easy to work on.
