  • I now own TWO of my DREAM CARS! And they’re both BMW 3 Series…
    The question really is which one is better? We have the BMW E36 328i on one hand, and on the other, a BMW E21 Restoration project fitted with very similar running gear. We do everything but race these cars in this review. The m52 b28 slots perfectly into these 1980 and 1990 Classic Cars and make them unbelievable fun to drive.
    The Bmw e21 started its life in 1982 as a 320, and has been transitioned into a more modern unique build but still keeps the look from the 80s.
    The Bmw e36 started its like in the 90s as a 318is, and has been transformed into a race track car with everything from the suspension to the limited slip differential.
    Which would you have?

    The E21 looks more classic the E36 more robust. Both are beautiful cars. The E21 has been disappeared from the road and i missed it

    To me E36 coupe is the most beautiful and best ever built coupe! I am saving up to buy 318is coupe due to its fuel efficiency 👌🏼 deffo will keep it for future generations

    • @Classicsbyjacob

      The 318is are great cars, you can tune them to little rockets at the same time as them being great on fuel. Such revvy engines and fun on the limit! Sounds like a good investment

      @Driftlife36 5 місяців тому +1

      I had the same thought but the 318 does not have much better mpg, it is def not worth loosing smiles per gallon. I would recommend a later 328i so you can the zf5 and 2.8L

      It may be more economical but not worth the amount of power lost and potential of the drivetrain.

      Nicely done both 21 and 36. Got the same problems as you for more than a decade now. 79’ e21 with m50b25, wish I did a m42 as it is silly fast and to front heavy. E28 with m50b25, love it to bits. Boston E36 coupe 328 with loads of bolt on mobs and a Dakar e36 318is class 2. Can’t sale any of them, even if I try and find a very good reason for it…
