I've been looking all over internet and its getting confusing. There are two different e21s on the internet, one of them has a single headlamp and the other has a double headlamp. I was wondering if they're both e21s or not, :thnx

Welcome here! Single headlamp setups were used for the more basic E21's, 315-316-318-318i. The 320-320i-323i had the dual units.

Other differences: the E21 was facelifted in 1979 when it received -among other mods- a different front valence, mirrors and dash.
