    I’ve been working with BMWs for 25 years. I still love the older models. Used to have an e30 318is, then traded up for a 99 M coupe and now the newest car I’ve ever had for myself an 05 325 touring that I swapped from an auto awd to 5spd manual rwd. But my heart still lies with the BMWs from the 80s and 90s. Hopefully have another, one of these days.

    Gotta love an E21. Great story too. How common are the 16 valve engines from the E36 - 318is. That would be a good swap. If you stick with the OE unit I would go for ITB's with EFI and possibly a 'mild' camshaft. You would still get all the intake noise but with the reliability of EFI.

Yours looks great, the heater problem.. me too, it’s just a thing we Gota do, around this age… Yours looks timeless, honestly, new carpets, heater fixed, preferably a six cyl with Webber carbs then it’s complete.. I’d be pretty happy with that build. It was a good watch, cheers! P.S yes I’m from the drift scene but I also love my classics!

    Have you got the full tool kit in the boot, they are always things that go missing, I had an e36 with the full tool kit and a working touch in the glove box, a very rare thing to find. That car like yours was so reliable, brought it on 66k and put another 100k on it and had hardly any issues with it, the most expensive bill was a new clutch at 300 quid which was so cheap. I had small issues like wiper motor and a window regular but pretty much a bulletproof car, plus it was a 6 pot so had that fantastic bmw sound.

    For some reason I thought this was your dad's old car, this red one lol and then you restored it or something. Looks really nice though besides the carpets but not sure how easy that is to sort out or maybe you like the patina. Battery probably needs to be kept on trickle charge or keep it regularly driven or turned over so it charges from the alternator if the air ride is constantly taking power. Most of my dream classics are JDM and the prices have rocketed since I was looking at them back in like 2013/2014

    1990 Essex - not long passed my test and a few lads have e12 323i and are powering round burning off the Capris/Escorts MK1/2 etc (Not always - don't beat me up) but i hadn't got the BMW bug yet - my Dad gets an e23 & series and I'm sold. My first car at 17 (I am 50 now) was an e23 728i auto - Vreg which seemed vast at the time but pretty damn quick. I progressed to the big engined luxo cars but 1991 I went for an auto e30 316 in Zinnobar Red that was £7k! - wish i got my hands on an e21 - yours is AWESOME Becky - never let it go! :-) x
