Dave’s JDM-inspired BMW E21 show car is FINISHED! | Ruined?

With just days to go until we hit the road for Old School New School, the E21 is ready to rock! Featuring one-off handmade metal over fenders, super low offset Work Emotion CR01 wheels, brand new front splitter and slammed all round on the brand new BC coilovers, we take this classic into the paint booth to bring some life back into the aging bodywork.

    Looks good. The arches turned out very well. I think a 4 cylinder would suit this car better than a big straight 6 or V8. I'd go for a M10 built engine on carbs or even better a M42/M44 on throttle bodies.

    As someone who the has owned e30's, e28's, e34's, e36s, and e60s, The e21 was always my favorite and wish I was able tohave had one at some point though I still might, if I can find one that is in good tick. But I love these cars so much and it really hurts my heart to see one so brutally disrespected.

    Have to admit Dave. When you first started talking about the mods planned for this car. I was worried. Worried that the arches would be big and rediculous and not suit the car. But now it's done, I have to admit. They're just the right amount of flare/subtlety. And the stance makes it look really good. Also glad the bonnet mirrors stayed off. Looks sweet. Over all. A very cool retro car. 👏

    Looks very nice except the the duck tail. Personally I think most ducktails just make the project look tacky and cheap because most cheap builds just wack and a ducktail on with 50 self tappers. If you did a more subtle metal moulded in ducktail I think it would look a lot better and suit the arches more.

    Stunning finish, front splitter is unreal but it definitely needs something on the rear splitter wise. I don't think it needs the louvre. The DG logo is a subtle little touch too that sits very well and is within keeping of the style you guys have gone for. The Soarer is just unreal, unfortunately I'll never get drive never own one with the Covid tax but the Red on Gold on the Soarer is just perfect in my opinion

    Not gonna lie. When I first seen it, I thought it lacked something. It was missing that little subtle cherry on the cake. The DRIFTGAMES logo on the windscreen was that little cherry. Don't go sticker crazy now and overkill it. It looks awesome 👍 P.S. On reflection, a slight tint on the back windows would be nice 👍
