I've seen a few people on here like the e21, so ill put up a few pics of my bros 316. It was originally an auto, bought from a scrap yard for pennies. Him and my dad took it right pretty much down to the shell and sorted any rust out then went from there cleaning and painting some components and renewing others. He plans to put a 318is engine in at some stage. He was restoring the car at the same time as i was doing up my 318is so which do you thinks best?

why do we have to choose??
they both look
the e21 should be a laugh with the 318is lump in the bay.
keep us posted if he goes ahead with the engine swap.

I like both. Personally, I would have to drop something like a 318is engine into an E21 and upgrade all the suspension, brakes, bushes and everything possible. But I love the shape....
More photos?

I love the retro looks of the E21.. I'd really like to build one with a nice S14 engine.. Too hung up on the E30's though.

I like E21's but not enough to buy one. Like the "shadowline" look on your car
+1 for ditching the angel eyes - wronger than a wrong thing.

E21 looks super. 
(Agree with the removal of the angel eyes - essential!)

Nice 2002, and can I see the back end of a 635 E24 aswell?
I think the E21 could have been stunning if you'd re-instated the chrome and BBS mahle's!
