The E21 generation BMW 3-series is sort of the forgotten little brother of the big cheese E30. Perhaps it is because the E21 never had a hyper-popular fanboy-drool-inducing M version, or Turbo graphic covered version like the 2002…but I dig the overbite fenders and sharp looking Hofmeister kink, and love the sport package front apron.

This next car is a celebration of Bracq Friday — a festival of the best stuff from French born automotive legend Paul Bracq. I know the days of getting a running/driving car for $500 are long behind us…and $500 will barely get you the parts to do your own brake job on a late model car…but […]
The E21 generation BMW 3-series is sort of the forgotten big brother of the big cheese E30. Perhaps it is because the E21 never had a hyper-popular fanboy-drool-inducing M version, or Turbo graphic covered version like the 2002, but the market for an E21 is affordable and they are simple machines…and that is a good […]
Global sales of BMW’s first 3-series started in the 1975 model year and by the time they switched factory operations to build the E30 version in 1983, over a million examples of the E21 had left the shipping dock. The E21 was not a cheap car when released, but the magic of depreciation made it […]
The E21 3-series is the middle child stuck between two BMW icons: 2002 and E30. The 320i was not a fast car when new and could be considered painfully slow by 2018 standards. The good news is that there are still sane asking prices out there for these unlike the newer E30. In addition, the […]
Today for the Thursday Twister, I’d like to ask you people what you think is the best car for around 1000 smackeroos. I will kick things off with two cars from tipper Sean. First up is this 1982 BMW 320i offered for $700 in Ojai, CA via craigslist. It has a 5-speed gearbox and no […]
Global sales of BMW’s first 3-series started in 1975 and by the time they switched body stamping operations to build the E30 version in 1983, over a million examples of the E21 had left the factory. The significance of those production numbers were not lost on BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln, Pontiac, Cadillac, or anybody else who […]
The E21 generation BMW 3-series is sort of the forgotten little brother of the big cheese E30. Perhaps it is because the E21 never had a hyper-popular fanboy-drool-inducing M version, or Turbo graphic covered version like the 2002, but the market for an E21 is very affordable…and that is a good thing. Find this 1977 […]
The E21 generation BMW 3-series is a great way to get into a clean classic without breaking the bank. The best low mile and stock examples are starting to demand premium money but it is still a great time to get into the market before it takes off and leaves you behind. Find this 1978 […]
The E21 generation is one of the better deals available on the market for BMWs that fall into the “depreciated modern classic” bucket. While we prefer a clean and original version for our daily driving needs, a hot rod E21 certainly would tick off a few boxes on the bucket list. Find this 1979 BMW […]
