Who knows this 323i H2.7?

[Marcus]

Hi all,
Saturday I will check out this e21 323i with H2.7 engine.
Does anybody know this car?
Best,
Marcus

Hi Marcus, welcome here and we'd definitely like to help taking a look at this car, or in general to help you find a nice E21!

Link appears to be dead but here is an active link: https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/bmw- ... 21abb4d6e5

To be honest I don't see much that gives me the idea this is a original Hartge car. Lacks the Hartge front spoiler, Hartge only did a 323iRS and 335i back then, interior is from a 4 cylinder. The big plus should be the engine, but there is not a single picture of engine or engine bay.

So basically I see what could be a 323i originally, and possibly was equipped with a later type Motronic M20 engine. It would not be the first conversion with a stock 325i engine, a Hartge valve cover and a fairytale.

If there aren't many more rust spots (trunk!) and the conversion was done nicely, you'd have a nice drivers' car for this money. But this is about market value then in my opinion, not a bargain.

Thanks Jerone,

On some other site they stated that it was a 2.7 kit. I'm afraid they took a 315 and converted it to whatever.
I doubt that the car has a proper historic registration.
Will check it carefully on Saturday.

OK curious, keep us posted!

And and and Marcus, was it any good?

I'll go with Jeroen and dislike this car for how it is being offered. Sounds like a bunch of parts thrown together, magic stick wave and out comes a Hartge something.
