Had an 78' 316 with single headlights, it looked very distinguished in dark red and the dash was ahead of his time. But, to be honest, it was....rubbish.
If you are after a 70s rear-wheel-drive small saloon, go for an Opel Kadett C or an Ascona B, they were far more reliable and drove as well as the BMW.
@darkslayer004 yes it wass, el espejo del lado del pasajero, los iodos antiniebla, los apoyacabezas, el aire acondicionado venian como equipamiento opcional de fabrica.
I found a dumped E21 near my house i was thinking of seeing if i could aquire it but when i looked at the ignition i wasnt to sure about it and someone took all the badges :(
WIE GEIL IST BITTE DIE ANFANGSSEQUENZ ??? Die Musik - der Sprecher - die zierlichen 3er. Und doch kommen sie mit einer Wucht dass es nicht zu fassen ist! Dann das Cockpit .... absolut zeitlos! Allerhöchste Filmkunst!
Das Video ist so genial. Voll schön wie die 3er wie Taranteln über den Berg kommen. Dann die Musik ;) Was mir auch gefallen hat ist, in dem Moment wo der rote E21 bei voller Fahrt von vorne gefilmt , den kleinen lustigen Schlenker macht. Wo ich lachen musste ist bei dem Ausweichmanöver, dann in Zeitlupe. Einem Ottonormalverbraucher wäre die Karre bestimmt ausgebrochen, vonwegen "sicheres Fahren" Genial!!! ;)
320i classic ride! Just make sure you get one in good shape. The restoration process on those is a nightmare. My 320i had tree moss as stuffing in the seats! When I had the seats redone I couldn't believe it.
umm wrong. he listed the 316, 318, 320, and 320i, none of which have 6 cylinder engines. 316 is a 1.6, 318 is a 1.8, and 320/320i are 2.0. all 4 cylinder. the 316 and 318 have single head lights, and 320/320i have double.
Sorry but you are wrong. IN EUROPE ONLY, the 320 and 320i WERE 6 cyl engines after 1980. ALL european e21s follow the rule of 2 lights for 4 cyl and 4 lights for 6 cyl. The only exception is the USA 320i, which has 4 lights and a 4cyl engine.
I had a black 320i for my first car! Everyone in high school thought I had a new or newer BMW. I let it go for awhile and then I told them. Good memories. Thanks.

I prefer the 316 and the 318, because the single headlights are more interesting and unusual for a bmw.
