1980 320/6

Hi all,
this is my 1980 320/6 in Kaschmir-Metallic. The car has 146'000 Km and ist pure fun to drive. The car is fitted with sunroof and the Eco 5-Speed Gearbox. After changing all the seals around the engine, no more black oil spots. And finally, i got some rear head-rests. Future plans are to converte the front breaks to vented discs from a 323i.

Cheers from Switzerland Alex

Looks very good mate!

BTW did U just get these rear headrests on eBay? In that case we might have been bidding against each other... which I wouldn't want to happen of course and I always try to prevent that if the other bidders' name rings a bell to me!

Hi e21helga,

these are original Center-Caps, i think they are from BMW Motorsport Department.

cheers

Yep, and still available AFAIK.

I saw these old Motorsport roundels in full color a few times... if anyone knows where to get these...

Hello to all from Puerto Rico!

Unfortunately, those Motorsports caps will not fit U.S.-model 13" BBS wheels. I ordered a set and tried them on some wheels I have at home and the diameter of the hub opening is smaller on the wheels.

Regards,
Harry

A very tidy car, and I also think that the colour is great.

Cheers

Really great looking car!

Jeroen: Is rear headrests that rare? I got some beige with my E21, and was thinking about throwing them in the garbage. But I guess I'll use them on the E12, I need recaro headrests in the back of the E21 to make the look complete!

Looking good Alex. The K&N looks good but 3 would look better

Let us know what you think about the K&N filter - I'm also looking for a long time after an other sportfilter.
