One of the nicest, if not THE nicest, E21 ive seen - absolutely gorgeous and a credit to you :-)

wow - that is gorgeous. I have an 84 323i e30 - it really comes alive past 3500rpms.

[kid325e]

Wow. Beautiful E21. The roads you drove to look incredible!

[HarteB]

Thx for the appreciation Guys :up:..

I try to enjoy this e21 as much as I can but the specific hartge parts are NLA so I don't drive it too hard

Little clip filmed onboard my e21 Hartge during an little road trip in the German Eifel region close to the Nurburgring

I have a 323i e30 also, swapping a m30b35 into and was thinking of snagging a e21 to put the m20b23 in. Sounds like I found a sweet source of inspiration lol

Nice car man!

On the e21 Hartge never came with Hartge deco stripe on the H3, but looks good. Did your car come with Hartge mono wiper, early Hartge dead pedal and Hartge roof antenna? Here is some pics of early Hartge dead pedal out of Hartge catalog.




The Hartge H3 exhaust headers and back in my opinion is very rare to find.


I really like your Hartge H3 e21. There is a a H3 e21 near by me.

[HarteB]

Hi

Its not an early one .. they where produced between 79 and 82 .. mine is a late 82 .. The H3 did'nt come as standard with the side stripes but you could order them as an option .. the momo wiper and roof antenna where also options that you could choose from in the catalog but all of them where non standard items ..

Hartge had a big option list so therefore not all cars are the same .. in fact over here in Europe I haven't seen one hartge that is completely the same as another

Awesome looking car!
