My E21 316
Hi, I registered on this forum some time ago, but never post some pictures of my car.
I have this 316 from 2001, so have been with me 12 years
Here are the pictures.
Regards from Uruguay

Looks very clean. It is exact the same colour as my first E21 320 which I had in 1996. As I remember the colour is "Zupressen Grun Metallic"?

Re: My E21 316
A wonderful looking car! The E21 is one of those cars that looks incredible when they're as tidy as this one but awful when they're tatty. I think it must be a sign that they're hovering on the brink of true classic status and in another ten years they'll all look amazing irrespective of condition.

Re: My E21 316
Well, I start a gearbox swap.
Choice was sport dogleg gearbox 5 speed instead of the four speed.
The gearbox has some break part on the cover, so the seller replace it with a diferrent one, so no matching numbers.
Here are some pictures.
Gearbox oil
New clutch kit
New speedometer cable
And other new and used parts,
4speed gearbox out

Unfortunately, gearbox has some noise.
We have to dismantle and check.
4 bearings has to be replaced. They are not cheap and hard to find.
4 new bearing now.
Some pictures of the gearbox disassembled.
and now reade to be install on the car.

Re: My E21 316
After some days using it, I have some impresion.
- has more response.
- accelerate more quickly.
- you have to change more frequently the speed.
- consumption has increased a little.
- engine do not loose rev when you change between speed
- invite you to press the pedal
It is a expensive modification.
On daily use, it has no benefits. When you use it sportly, it make you so happy.
If anyone has a 316 (1,6) and want this upgrade, should think on a engine swap.
Performance will be better with a 4 cylinder 2.0 liters with 4 speed.

Some videos from a track day in Victor Borrat Fabini track - Uruguay.

First time on track for me.
I enjoy a lot!
Want more track days like this.
