Bargain!! I like white e21's.

Just seen you're in Truro ( I used to live in Trispen ) so if ever you want me to bring any bits down just say. I have a van near St Agnes and come down a few times each year.

yeah mate my e30 was a 316 had the m20 engine fitted started cheap then the crank seal went so all had to come back out and have new gaskets etc. was my first car got a section 59 within a couple weeks so i sold it. will change the engine when the 1.8 lets go. want to get all body work done and paint first really. m20 engine with a 1.6 diff was nice topped out at like 115 but pulled really well in every gear.

Saw you at St Agnes / Truro roundabout today. We were in white 2002tii. Only about the 5th or 6th time I've stumbled over a wild e21 as opposed to seeing them on safari at a show or meet. Am here till Sunday if you're around.
