    New here. E21.

    Hello,

    I picked up an e21 not too long ago. Brand new to the BMW world. I couldn't find an intro thread section, but this is going to be a build as well. Sorry if I posted in the wrong spot. I have been lurking this forum for a little bit now and figured I would join. Anyway, the car has a mere 325,xxx miles and runs great. I'm very excited to clean her up and get her feeling solid again. I really want to start with all the eurometric bushings, tighten up the brakes, and fix all the steering and shifter slop.

    Also, I never realized the e21 kinda seems forgotten compared to 2002, e30, e28, e36.... why is that? The following seems much smaller. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I bought this car.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

                      Finished re-doing my fittis and go them back on. Put together a local bbq.



                      Picked up some new bushings, SS lines, porterfield pads, and new balljoint for the e21.

                      fixed some dash bulbs

                              Got a bbs front spoiler and kamei side skirts

                              Motivation: note- not the junk on the roof and what not. just the fact that the car is decently low and has a BBS front bumper

                                                          E21 is looking promising! MK3 is pretty dope. Would love a MK1 Rabbit or Jetta Coupe one day.
