although the engine seams to be running smoother with the original filterhousing.
my problem is that with the original filter housing the strut brace does not fit any more..
i will have so solve this problem somehow since the k&n are not allowed to be mounted here in Switzerland..

That is strange, my strut brace fits

But I got something like 2 or 3 mm free space between the original filter and the strut - aint got any problems with driving. I will add later on a picture off mine if you want to?

I might have to put some washers underneath..
well it actually just fits but because it touches the filterhousing it makes noise because of the vibrations.
and i always thought the 320/6 is running without vibrations ':D'

Christoph,

What a beauty! The combo of this car and the 5 series is perfection.

Love the 70's color.

jesus, that is gorgeous!

I like the yellow headlights!
Tell me if you're selling them

Where did you get the K&N filter?
I've been looking at their webpage but couldn't find for the 320/6.

Christoph, which springs have you got on your E21?? You say you've got a Bilstein kit, but is this a complete kit including springs and if so, how the hell did you manage to get hold of that?? - they have been nla for ages... I really like the look - it's low enough to look purposeful, but it's not racecar low... Perfect!!

Hi guys, like the car also, i think i know the problem of why on one car the strut brace fits and on the other it doesnt..

seemingly one of the cars carburettor is a pierburg carb and the other is a solex carb, either one of them will have the same filter case BUT also the carb is sligtly larger which this case a strut brace cannot be fitted there were two types of carbs used.. if i had it my way if it was a pierburg then i would have taken it out as they go wrong unless you have been lucky to have a good one, a nice set of webber carburettors with a mangoletsi twin carb manifold and 4 trumpet pipe filters... if its a solex then your safe...

thats why there is a strut brace issue..

Why cant you use a K&N filter in your car in swiss land?
