Hi there,

im probably buying a mates 4cyl 2L carby 320i its an e21,

for a grand!

And its manual..

Do you think i should,

A) buy and sell my exsisting car, use money to do up e28 to a nice standard

put my ride in storage and do it up over time

I dont know i cant have 2 cars at home not enough room, id like to sell my car for around 6000 ono and just spend up on the manual e28 lower it, work engine, suspension, paint it i think it would cover these mods...

Cheers

That E21 will probably go better than your E30, but the E30 would handle better and IMO looks better as well, haven't seen a E21 I like yet, thats just me though. I also think you'd be lucky to get 6K for your car, no harm trying though. Have a look on trademe and see what they are going for.

E21 parts would be way harder to come across, especially performance bits. You should really try and get a manual kit for your car, and BTW you can't put the e21 box in.

cheers mike , its a hard one 4 me i love the body on my car as its straight, hmm well see im looking at it next month any way

Not worth it IMO - at the moment you've got a better car (technology and handling wise) And yeah, parts supply isn't as good for E21s

e21 will be sh*t slow......and you wont get 6 for your car

its a harsh world

how hard is it to mount a 2.5 in his car?

im sure you could get everything you need to swap to a 2.5 from a wreck and it would be mostly parts that people dont use often... all you need is someone who is wrecking a E30 325 .... himmmmmm cue tim

yeah but so is a E30 320 auto, if anything the e21 will be faster than the e30, so what if its down 5hp, its lighter and is 5spd

sorry mike, i cant differentiate between that much slowness

EASY TO DO 2.5 + 5 speed. instant badass(ish)
