Any E21 guys out there? Have most of the parts for an M20 conversion that I need to sell


BarryA

Recommended Posts

Price: $850
Location: Sacramento CA


Description:

Have most of the hard to find parts needed to convert a US spec 4 cylinder E21 320i to an M20 6 cylinder as installed in the Euro factory E21 323 models - prefer sell as a package for $850 obo; will separate.  

Local pickup or possible delivery in the Sacramento / SF Bay area only on the transmission; other parts can be shipped at buyer's expense.  I sold my E21 a couple of years ago, and don't plan to buy another one.

  • E21 M20 factory front crossmember
  • E21 M20 factory motor mount pylons
  • E28 528e Getrag 265 "big six" overdrive 5 speed with removable M20 bellhousing & shift linkage (fairly rare transmission / bellhousing combination - as far as I know, only used in the 528e and possibly the 524td - bulletproof transmission behind an M20).  This transmission was pulled from a very clean, 130K mile 87 528e several years ago, bench tested, and has been in covered storage since.
    • Please note: this trans is considerably larger than the M20 bellhousing Getrag 245 OD 5 speed used in the factory E21 323, and will NOT fit an '02 trasmission tunnel without significant modifications
  • E28 528e factory alloy rear transmission crossmember
  • E21 "big spindle" struts & hubs (these were used on all 323's as well as 78-80 320i 4 cylinder cars)
  • Set of 4 used Bilstein sport strut inserts and rear shocks

    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
