26 Years and worth every second of the wait

Post by moe_325 »

Short history on my love for the E21 and an undying passion for BMW,the first E21 I saw was when I was just 3 years old,and I can remember most of the detail on that particular car,belonged to our landlord,we rented an apartment above his garage and he washed it himself daily. It was the 323 model BAVARIA edirion (well it had a kit and a BAVARIA badge on the bootlid),metellic olive greenish colour and the 13 inch ALPINA's...then when I started primary school my geography teacher had a RUBY RED one,and everyrtime he saw the clouds build up,he asked me to WIND the sunroof closed,that was a 315,left hand drive as well! ]

And ever since then,I wanted one and by the grace of the ALMIGHTY,26 years of patience,I found a lovely specimen,one that needs just TLC! Its been standing for the last 18 years,lhd as well,199845 on the speedo,but I'm willing to spend another 26 years restoring her to her GLORY!
I haven't the slightest clue as to how to upload pics,if I could mail it to one of the admins,maybe they could post them up on this thread!

As for my UNDYING passion for the BMW brand itself,I only drive BMW's,I sell BMW parts as an independent alternative to our local dealers,very big in my country! I currenlty own the following: 1990 E30 with just 187600km every single item in that car functions like a brand new car! Will ask admin to post pics of her too! Also drive an E38 740i gulf spec protection,nrides on 19" wheels,and lastly I am building an E30 Chrome bumper with M20 Turbo! If someone is willing to assist me in posting the pics,I'll mail it thru immediately!

BMW-Sheer Driving pleasure for shure!


Its not what you drive,its HOW you drive it!!!
