| 1984 E30 327S.
- Built Jan 1984 as a Euro 323i 5-speed Euro bumpers
- Imported and modified by Hardy & Beck (formerly "Alpina West") in Berkeley, CA in 1984 - this is one of about 12 cars they built - Maybe the only original left
- 2.7 bottom end, custom pistons and 323i head, some other performance modifications
- Full H&B suspension
- 3-piece H&B wheels 15x7 with 205/55-15
- original and perfect delphin grey paint, just clayed and waxed
- original BMW cloth sport seats, very nice condition, rear headrests
- el. windows and sunroof, A/C
- Zender body kit (H&B installed)
I bought the car in June this year, and have done the following (by Schatz & Krum in Sacramento):
- Timing belt
- waterpump
- all hoses
- new steering rack
- control arm bushings
- complete A/C overhaul (done by an expensive A/C shop in Auburn)
- found and installed the super rare 3-piece H&B wheels to replace the Ronal LS
- Italian period correct Dino steering wheel with removable leather center
It drives like a dream, very fast (like an Alpina, H&B was named "Alpina West" before). Road & Track tested the car in 2/1985, and recorded a 0-60 time of 6.9s. I have a copy of the magazine. This car needs nothing. Car was serviced by H&B until a few years ago.
I am in the market for a 2002tii, or a very nice 72/73 carburetted model with A/C. That's the only reason for selling it. |
