Why would it be that!!!
It's similar to this forum, questions get answered, and no one takes the piss.
Good group of people.

But I suppose to you, anthing outside this Forum is "Freaky"??
Do you ever wonder outside your front door?

Theres nothing wrong with E21s, my first BM was a 1982 323i-WEG 82X. Lovely car, twin exhausts (one each side), shame rust kills them. I think they look better than E30s

[Gortour]

I've had 2 E21s, sadly not a 323i though. Had an '83 316 and a '78 320.
The Solex carb on the 320 caused me nothing but hassle, and the Zenith carb on the 316 I threw away and stuck a Weber on.
Apart from the carbs and the rust, lovely cars. I'd gladly have another.

[Ollie_bwoii]

I think a nice E21 is just as good looking as a nice chromie, and is actually better looking than facelift E30's.

I mean,

[Rav335uk]

They are cool "Retro" cars, and are another that are going up in value.
And what's wrong with this one?? Owned by a "Freak" i think NOT!


or this

That's a guy called "Silver surfer" and that pic was taken before he took it apart and rebuilt it.

[ImysE30]

I expect something similar Rav

I'd buy a E21 323i, something about the twin exhausts

[Rav335uk]

I'd buy a E21 323i, something about the twin exhausts

Don't worry, as i said before, I have most things for my E21 project.

Good man

I mean,

That is superb, mine had the usual boot floor rust, they improved the design on the E30, the K-Jetronic injection system was quite easy to understand. I loved the interior door handles in the armrests! also the digital clock in the speedo was brillant

[rudi1]

hi
i think a good e21 looks great.i had been in contact with this guy about his e21
do you know anymore about it?
the guy seems very genuine

[Rav335uk]

Yes, this guy is an active member on the E21 forum.
Like I said , he took most of it apart and renewed most things, full body respray etc.....
It's a 323i and can be found here.

sorry
i am on about the e21 316 on carandclassic

[Rav335uk]

sorry
i am on about the e21 316 on carandclassic

Is that the one Josh sold origionally??
If it is then the info on that one is that one of the mods on the E21 forum bought it and is now the one selling it.
No info on that one, but you could pm "Josh" on here.

[rudi1]

thanks very much

[Simon13]

they're just scrap compared to an E30. I mean the front anti roll bar holds all the front struts and suspension together? WTFs going there? They handle sh!te too, i've got no love for them

[Andyboy]

I never used to like E21's much - and I've had a few.
But these days a really nice one with the right mods does look quite superb. Some really excellent examples turn up at the Ace.

[murran]

i like e21s. they go sideways very nicely!

[Gortour]

My two certainly did... Great fun.

I wonder what "Jimmis" E21 could do.



Andyboy, you seen this one at the Aces???

Stick little 13 inch gold bbs alloys and black/purple tinted windows in this and it'll be the spitting image of my old 323i. Boy did it growl.

its a good design tbh. antiroll bar and the lower arm triangle forming the wishbone.... no need for a separate antiroll bar.....

they do rot but no more than e30 saloons do.

To be honest simon, if wernt for the E21 3 series, you wont be sitting in your E30.. E21 is a style of its own the E30 also has its own, years ago lets say back in 1990 my first car was an Mtec 2 E30, i sold it 3 years later after heavy abuse with my foot to pedal i then decided i wanted a classic car. When i drive an E30 it does feel more solid i must admit and it feels safer to drive. but i built mine around performance and handles better than the E30 cos I made it like that, the next man may have not! Its a 35 year old car, you cant compare the suspension setup against another that has been updated. see really take that into consideration.

[murran]

hi jimi!

e21's rule the roost! end of.

i dont even know why i come on this forum tbh. its just everyone with a post count of over 3000 seems to be a c0ck or a muppet (mr mooore is cool tho.).

[town325i]

i like e21's but i think thats more to do with the fact it was my first bmw to ever own

[e21Jason]

Now't wrong with e21's just can't wait till pete serve's them up then the e21 will have made it

fFront roll bar design is flawed but for used it all the way up till the 90's and the same upgrades work on an e21

rear uspension has real covers and better geometry than a e30
