Mark's black 320/6

Bought another e21 today. It's a 320/6 with no sunroof and steel wheels. It's been owned by the same guy for a good few years and has a pretty straight body in black and almost new bumpers, front and rear.

Excuse the crappy phone pics but you get the idea.

I had planned to go with a modern turbo diesel but have gone with something old skool instead. It's an m20/2.7 with knife edged crank, sodium filled valves, flowed head and lumpy Schrick cam. Oh yeah, it also has triple 40's and according to the dyno sheet it makes about 240 brake. :)

The plan is to go single headlights & wiper along with -60mm drop over deep dished 13's. I've sourced some Image splitrims in 13x9 that look very similar to Minilites. I won't be doing much more than that until my M3 track car is finished.

Another pair of mud flaps bite the dust. Tried out the new rims too. No, it's not a 4x4 either!
