Looks good! looks like a sport package. 

Bassboy3313 is the resident e21 guru. You should get in contact with him as he went turbo on k-jet and is now doing an EFI conversion.

Welcome! Like the black on tan, looks like a clean example

Hi,

My name is Ben,

I just picked up a 1978 e21 that I have been eyeballing for months  to build into a daily/autoX car, hopefully take some wear and tear off of my subaru.

It has a mechanically fuel injected m10 motor under the hood in the pile of parts I also have an m20 which I'm debating on slapping a EFI and a turbo or a couple weber carbs.

Here are a couple pictures from the first time I saw it in the fall. Sadly I don't get the nice wheels, but I'll come up with something before spring hits.

How much did you snag this for? Looks very clean!!

Welcome!! Great looking e21!

[Bassboy3313]

Welcome man!! Nice to see another e21 owner around here for a change. Yours looks very clean and straight, nice find. As Snap said, I do have an e21 that I am doing quite a bit of work to myself and definitely know these cars from front to back. Would love to talk more and stuff too.

Snap, that is a BBS or Hartge (always mix those two up) front spoiler, not an 320is (sport package) spoiler. Very well could be a sport package tho. They came from the factory with an "is" front spoiler, recaro's, 3 spoke steering wheel, basketweaves, and an LSD.

I'll deffinetely be in touch once I start pulling things apart. I'm very new to the BMW world so this should be an exciting project.

That is a BBS front spoiler, and it is not a factory sports package sadly it and the wheels wont be coming with the car, but that's ok.

The car is pretty clean and straight, all the emissions garbage has been removed from the engine bay.

Replacing bushings and coilovers is my first priority

You and bassboy need to have a sleepover or something.

John (jc43089) hooked me up with a garret t25 turbo last night, should be just what the doctor ordered.

And she's home

[wasnt m3]

Very cool! I bet it feels great to bring it home.

[bfinley]

I still haven't driven if more than a mile! My siblings went to pick if up for me today since I'm stuck at work

[speedstarE36]

Nice looking car. Once it gets warm out us Platteville guys will have to go out for a cruise.

[bfinley]

Drove it down over the weekend... I need to get rid of this 4 speed trans! 5 hours at 4k rpm is just weird.

Platteville members keep your eyes peeled for her around town

[jc43089]

She looks good!

[RamRod E28]

all us southwest Wisconsin guys are gonna have to go for a cruise once the snow is gone hope most of you guys can make it to the meet im planning.
