    Technik: Im Herbst 1979 wurde aus dem 400 GT der 400i mit Bosch-K-Jetronic statt der sechs Weber-Doppelvergaser und 228 kW (310 PS). Im Herbst 1982 erfuhr der 400i eine leichte Auffrischung, die vorrangig das etwas modernere Cockpitdesign des 412 vorwegnahm, der 1985 auf den Markt kam. Ferner wurde das Nockenwellenprofil geändert und der Auspuffkrümmer modifiziert, wodurch die Leistung auf 232 kW (315 PS) stieg. Zusätzlich wurde die Niveauregulierung an der Hinterachse überarbeitet. Vom 400i wurden 883 Exemplare mit Automatik und 422 mit Fünfganggetriebe hergestellt. LG Tom

        Hallo, zum Originalzubehör fehlt vieles beim Werkzeug. In der 2. Tasche muss ich tatsächlich nachschauen. Ich kann Ihnen ein Foto senden. Auto Becker aus Düsseldorf hat nach Aachen geliefert und von da wurde der Wagen in Schweiz verkauft und ich habe dann importiert. Beim Kauf 2009 habe ich ein Gutachten machen lassen. Allerdings habe ich fast alles neu gemacht. Die Teilerechnungen sind zum größten Teil vorhanden. Den Motor habe ich 2 mal gemacht. Die Dichtungen waren fehlerhaft verarbeitet. Ich habe mich mit einem Kfz Meister aus Berlin bemüht die Kosten überschaubar zu halten. Das Auto ist jetzt zuverlässig auch im Sommer mit dem Hitzemanagement. Es wurde ein zusätzlicher Lüfter gesetzt. Das Auto riecht nach Leder, toll.
