It's three Dellortos.

oki dokes, ill see what i can do about some more pictures. Thems not throttle bodies though, they be triple dellorto 40 DHLA carbs (true old skool!). The fuel system is a bit of overkill running a holly red as the main pump and the two smaller ones running fuel too and from the surge tank (keeps fuel pressure up when hard cornering). Sounds vicious and goes like hell, absolutly kills my old 325i. Sounds amazing when dropped into third going through a tunnel with the sunroof open! Ahhhh the joys of e21 ownership. Racecar sound and feel in a humble e21 package.
This is living!

the wheels are BBS RS 001 split rims 15x7. yeah they were expensive but i do love them and they look cool.

Very nice car, wheels suit it perfectly!

Always cool to see a straight 6 on carbs, what brand is the manifold?

I'd love to hear that thing run, any chance of taking some video? You must know someone with a digital camera or something that can record short videos

Should should like mine

The Manifold is a home made jobby using the original manifold, cutting it down and alloy welding a face plate on it to face up to the carbs, ill try to get some video of it for you, probaby does sound like yours jason, cant tell, im so old skool im using dial up!

very nice e21 indeed

Mine was made the same way.





Did they do a good job on yours with the welding or are the runners a little rough? if so a new cast manifold will cost you about $300 including shipping from south africa.
