E21 or E28?

[Mr_Tripp]

The black Bmw in the right side of the picture with the clear turn indicators, is that an e21 or e28?

E21

E28s didn't have the indicators in the grilles.

[Mr_Tripp]

Thanks, I really want one the more I see them

e21s are exceedingly ugly without euro bumpers.

This. Rust doesn't help the looks much either.

E21 has always been the stepchild of the bmw lineup but l have to say that like most things from the seventies, they are starting to look better and are coming around into fashion of late.


Retarded front suspension, however.

I have to disagree I like the classics much more then anything BMW is making right now all my favorites are from e34 and back

[Pantless Spency]

e21 is the least amount of BMW that BMW has ever made.
but i will be willing to sell you mine ;)

[Mr_Tripp]

No thank you.

I am however interested to know why you believe the 21 is not much of a bmw?

[Pantless Spency]

it handles decent which is the only thing that really makes it a BMW, it is low quality of build (at-least from what i have seen/ experienced)
has no balls at all.
not luxurious in any sense.
iduno when i think of Bavarian Motor Works i don't think crappy e21 that putts around on a tiny 4banger.


i absolutely love the car, exterior and interior, but i hate the driving experience(unless i'm going down hill.) i would love to swap something in my car but im not sure if i ever will.

My friend had an e21, he had to rev the shit out of it to go anywhere. The car is slow as balls but i dont know why i always liked them. Same color as yours. 65k original miles, one owner (his grandpa)

[Pantless Spency]

that sounds like a well kept car!

It's near flawless. He said it got slow after they recalled it for whatever reason.

[Pantless Spency]

hm that sounds weird.....
not sure why.


yeah i wish my e21 was cleaner it would make it a lot easier to love.

[slammin.e28]

I'd love to put an M30 in an e21 and call is a baby e28.
