Hello,

I have two E21.

This one I'v bought for parts and "know how".

Engine & gearbox from E36




Dashboard for E30 , instruments from E36


Another E30 parts...


And 323i RHD Baur to restore




W will restore the Baur and I want to put the M50B25 with LSD. I don't want to put dashboard and instruments from other BMW...

I think i will finish the project abbou summer 2009.

Jesus christ, another e21/e30/e36 frankenstein mix..


I like it and welcome..



j

I will try to get only engine and transmission from E36

I hope that all interior will be E21

Meybe i will make modifications to 5x120, because i have BBS RS 16"...

meybe meybe... Now i must pull to pieces Baur....

Does the car start and run? and are you going to take the E36 engine out?

The gold-green one was starting and runinng. The black one is without engine. The engine M20B23 is outside the car. Now i will be putting M50B25 into the black one. Gold-green have much rust and holes.

I see, your still keeping this e36 engine conversion in the e21 and fitting an M20 back for originalty then..... what size engine is it?


j

M50B25 2.5 liter E36 in E21 coupe
M20B23 2.3 liter E21 Baur

Alpina, my english is weak, sometimes i can understand anotherthing that you are asking for - sorry.

I bought my Baur in Rochford Essex, on Ebay The M20b23 is now incomplete, i need few things to complete it (some rubbers, K-jet etc)

I'am a big admirer of original condition. I have E24 635csi, only modifications are lower springs and BBS RS, also i have E30 Baur - without any modifications - this cars i'am using occasionally.

E21 Baur purchase was unplanned. My friend repaired in my garage his e21 with m50b25. I asked him about selling. He said that in few months he probably will sell it. He lives in Ireland, but his girl lives in Poland, like me. Few weeks ago he said he sold me his BMW, and I started to search new body, becaude his one have much rust. Fortunatelly I found E21 Baur on Ebay and I won her . While I was waiting for shipping i was thinking about engine - which one? Original or SWAP... I deicide: original! Then my friend comes to Poland, and we was talking about his E21, I said that propably i will leave original engine... He said: You can try to drive my E21, with LSD... and I just tried.. and I fall in love!

I think, when I finish this project (about may 2009) I will restore M20B23 and I will put this engine back to E21 Baur and i will buy another E21 coupe and i will put M50 in.


Sorry for textual errors.

Not yet. I'm moviong my car to antoher garage. I think I will be able to post few pictures in the next 3 weeks.

Yesterday a rotated my Baur Now she is lying on her left side.
Probably today i will start clearage the floor.

I will use this: (meybe not steel but made of wood) and this (heater?) .


I'am thinking about the colour. I now it's very hard to paint her in black, every imperfections are visible, it's very hard to prepary the surface.

I'm thinking about Koronagelb, very light blue metalic and white - not snow white, a little bit more darker.
