Should have bought Evans black 77 e21, but I suspect you may have another chance at that. 

 

I went and looked at it 6-7 months ago when he first listed it. It needed a lot of love and he's asking too much which is probably why its still currently on Craigslist so many months later. It does have the H&B cool factor though.

I see the CL ad is still up, makes me think it was shill'd on ebay, but I may be wrong. Selling price was around $6,500 SOLD on Monday 12/17/18. 

My research sorta showed several discrepancies first of which was the motor is not a 2.0 as should be for an early car. However that fact, the turbo e21 was likely not  offered until 1980, so this car is either a prototype test mule, maybe even Steve Dinan's or H&B personal car (which makes it cooler), or some later conversion circa 1980 in which the stripe kit and accessories where ordered and installed. Although-the H&B system used the Rayjay snail on their proprietary manifold that was designed with the "delta" flange made for the  Rajay unit. This car has a Callaway type four bolt square flange unit. Needless to say, The H&B cars were never certified for CA emissions like the Century system. An older thread on this car back in 2009 had Reeves Callaway comment that the engine is something to consider with this car-meaning it's suspect given the claimed H&B system installed. Me thinks it's an adaption of the Callaway unit with a re-badged H&B placard on the charge pipes. Just my opinion, though this car should also have come equipped with the 3 piece H&B wheels. Nothing I have found mentions the addition of the extra gas tank as part of the H&B offering.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
