Summary
This European-market 1980 BMW 323i, refinished in red over black cloth, features a 2.5-liter M20 inline-six engine swap from a 1987 325i and a dogleg five-speed manual transmission. Notable modifications include aftermarket 15″ modular wheels, adjustable coilover suspension, and Recaro front bucket seats, with recent work in January 2024 addressing the battery and brake system. The car shows 153k kilometers (~95k miles) but has condition issues including hazy paint, rocker-panel rust, a cracked dashboard, and torn headliner.
