Oh, wicked temptation, why must you test me? Both cars (in general) I love deeply and have wanted forever. Both projects. Both available. Both cheap. I have no money. I have no time. I have no space. Noooooooo o whhhyyyyyyy

The struggle of being a car guy with a family, it’s real.

Exactly! The BMW is an automatic and does have a little rust, but my dad an E3 when I was little and I’ve loved them ever since. It’s torment!

It’s a Tourer, automatic is allowed. JUST LOOK AT IT!

I know, I know! The blue interior is my favorite part. It runs, barely, and needs the carbs, complete ignition, and all the suspension bushings done at least, but I could probably get it for $1000. I do want it so, so bad.

That interior is so classy. Just those bumpers aren’t. Are these easy to convert to Eurostyle?

Yeah, the bumpers are awful. They are easy to convert, the earlier US cars had smaller chrome bumpers as well, but finding them in good shape is hard. They look good with the front bumper off too, these have that same lovely lip below the grilles as the E9s, a perfect sharknose! The rear would need something though.

I bet they’re easier to find than some E21 Getrag 245 parts... ;-)

Get that 3.0S, I’ll get you the Eurostyle bumpers!
