1982 E23 BMW 745i Turbo $2750

Definitely one of my favorite powerplant/chassis combo - M102 in an E23. 252hp at 10psi from the Borg Warner K27 Snail. The turbo kick here is at higher RPM, compared to the later M106 (based on the M30B34) that has a turbo boost of 6psi. The power output is the same from both regardless of the fact that the M102 is based on the M30B32. That is the same engine that BMW NA pulled out of the 733i and put in the 533i for the US market, because the 528 eta was too slow for the vast american lands. Anyways back on topic.

This is an early shark nose 7er. A little bit more chrome than the later car. With a nice set of chrome mirrors and chrome all around the grilles like an E12. The front nose panel is different and so is the valance. How do I know, I used to a have a late E23 745i with an early nose "job".

The interior of the car doesn't have the buffalo hide which is part of the executive package on the later 745i. That shouldn't be a deal breaker. From the few pictures at very contemporary angles, the paint seems decent (possibly diamantschwarz).

Not going to comment a lot on the price, but with the below ad, there should be some space for negotiations.
