I just bought this 320i for some of the parts on it, but it appears to be original. Can anyone tell me if this car is a factory car or a later modified car. It has cloth BMW sport seats that match the rear seats, a 5-speed dog legged manual, a sport steering wheel, a LSD , rear sway bar, an aluminum rear spoiler. Never painted all original it seems. It is a USA model and is a 1978. What is the easiest way to tell if it came from the factory this way. I am new to the 320i world so sorry if this is a dumb question. Thank You for any help

lucky find

What I can see it's a factory original car apart from the rear spoiler and the dual exhaust. Looks even like a 320iS spec car but it's too old for that. For reference see http://www.bmwe21.net/?page_id=140

Defo a nice find!

a good find there.seats and steering wheel are original too and a rare option
