Compression WILL improve after you knock the rings back into place with a good old italian tuneup and getting them to bed in again with a couple heat cycles. That engine is definitely saveable.

That’s completely true and the compression is so low because he wash the cylinders. Use a mix of 2 stroke oil in the gasoline help to lube the walls an improve the compression when you are starting something that old.

Compression results were really poor cause cylinders were washed out, as I said in the video. It will improve once the car is running and I flush the engine, but very doubtful it'll be over 10 bar (minimum for this engine) cause cylinders are pretty scored and valve seats heavily gummed up. A full rebuild is unavoidable.

Not to mention the great filming and editing, the amount of REAL content of every single episode, just impressive and admirable. (not to be a troll, but it's ten times of real work done and results accomplished here than some 3 million sub auto channels out there)

hilarious :d and so professional in the same time. Bravo !

I've had that compression issue once in my E36 M52B20. I wanted to take it from my mechanic, but it didn't start at his parking. One guy came here and we tried to figure out what was the problem. After long long cranking without starting, he checked the compression it was ridicoulusy low. (don't remember now) Then he went back to the shop and talked with more experienced guy, but he also didn't have any idea what's going on. He cleaned spark plugs, put it back in and crank again. The engine didn't start. This second, more experienced guy wanted to check compression once again and it turned out, the car had around 12-14 bar. It started after this second compression check and such situation didn't happen ever again. I don't know what was the cause of car not starting, but in case of compression, mechanic said that not burned fuel just flushed oil from cylinder walls. Then during compression check, spark plugs were disassembled so fuel evaporated. Once pistons spread oil back again on walls, compression came back. I don't know if it's what actually happened in my engine, but maybe it would give you some hints about low compression. Would be cool if you check compression again after engine worked properly (if it will). I'm really curious. As always enjoyed this episode. Thank You for the show!

The fuel pump/accumulator assembly is such a work of art. I love these old cars. This was my first car. Quite fast, very comfortable, great sound, but didn't handle well. Very noseheavy. The 4 cylinder ones were a bit more balanced and if you moved the battery to the back the balance was improved. But the 6 cylinder ones were at times dangerous.

Suc-er, you're emptying my country of classic cars. Just Joking, I'm so glad you save them actually. Good Job Man

GUNK! What a battle! I enjoyed every second of the video. Can't wait for the follow-up.

I don't know this man but I got very excited and so happy for him when he got it running!

Back in the day, I owned and worked on a _lot_ of '80s and '90s BMWs. They were well made, robust, easy to work on, and very reliable. I referred to BMW engineering of the era as 'sophisticated simplicity'. I could give many detail examples of that, but suffice to say it was the polar opposite of a modern BMW.

The title is one letter shy of what my family asks themselves after I've had my morning coffee

Thanks once again Sreten, if you are motivated by this E21 running and idling, we are surely motivated by your entertaining, fun and educational videos. Keep them coming!

Hey, whenever you have to fix a brocken ABS plastic part - you can use MEK to dip them into and melt the two ABS parts together, because MEK will melt ABS.

An E21 in such good condition is definitely worth restoring. These cars are becoming more and more collectable now so well done, I'm very jealous.

Amazing job again! God bless you ! You made 41 yrs old car to live again 💪🏻 Best of luck brother!

You, my friend, are a legend in the making! Never lose your motivation! :)

Sreten doesn’t need gangster mode. He already has gangster mode 😎

The seat is in ”gangstermode” Love it😃😃

Great to see this car getting some love! Here's a question or a tip - have you thought about getting a set of bottle brushes? You can get them with plastic bristles so as not to scratch delicate surfaces, or get steel bristles for jobs that require more "elbow grease." Again, thanks for showing these classics some love. The E32 and the E21 are both favorites of mine - I am somewhat partial to both as I have owned one of each. My car was a 1981 320i, the bulbous-bumpered M10 US model. Tragically lost in 4 meters of flood waters in Hurricane Katrina. Just an FYI, that fuel distributor is an extremely fussy device. My M10 engine had one of those, and per the manual, the calibration on those is measured in MICROMETERS. I highly recommend leaving the calibration of these to specialists if you don't know what you're doing. The K-Jetronic CIS (Continuous Injection System) was an extremely fussy beast, which is why BMW then went to an EFI system for the E30. Regarding the papers, I don't know how they do it in Germany, but in most places in the USA, a seller cannot keep both the cash AND the papers. In order for the sale transaction to complete, the papers MUST be surrendered. If you handed over the cash, the papers MUST go to you in order to complete the sale and register the vehicle. No criticism of the seller intended, but that seller should have had the paperwork lined up and ready to be handed over at the point of sale.

Loved the extra length in-depth video! Good luck! 🖖🙏🇨🇦

I don’t remember how all these goes back, Goooooood! You got me cranking there dude! 🤣

An important car. The rest of the car is so solid, I think an engine rebuild is worth it.

Oh hell yes. Been waiting for this for weeks!

1 hour of pure awesome, was looking forward to a new episode!

Sreten! You definitely deserve a mechanics Oscar! No BMW restorer would come even close to your level!

The thought that this rebuild could be stopped by missing paperwork is really scary. I love this car and I really hope you get the documents and the motivation to get it right. Best of luck!

Been waiting a long time for this restoration. So glad it’s started.

I have never seen a e21 with that little rust. really good foundation you got there

K-Jetronic is actually a beautifully simple system and quite economical too - the air flap won’t be stuck, but judging by the rest of your fuel system the plunger in the metering head will be! When working properly, when the air flap lifts, it moves the plunger in the metering head and this in turn allows more fuel into the injectors. Porsche used it to good effect starting in the ’70’s, as did VW/Audi etc. a bit later and once you’ve worked through it, you’ll be a convert. Keep it going - love watching your channel 👍

Hahaha, "I don't need gangsta mode!" There were some good ones in this episode.
