You are the exact opposite of modern mechanics: they watch, connect computers and various diagnoses and then replace everything, without even attempting a repair, the customer pays so much! You do a great job, keep it up, great channel!
One of my favourite models. The way in for people on a budget to enjoy the BMW aesthetic (lovely proportions, fine detailing, unique shark nose grille, ribbed velour upholstery even in the base model). People sometimes criticise the 316 for being “slow” but I don’t think that was the point of this model. As with the Escort Ghia or Dolomite 1500, it was about quality. A feel for something special that was still relatively affordable to run. Cars from a more interesting age than today’s plethora of SUVs in silver, grey and black. These were the days of Henna Red, Dolphin Blue and Reseda Green, with upholstery choices of charcoal, dark blue, tan, pale green. Wonderful.
What a car ! even rotten-out that engine looks bullet-proof with a bit of basic maintaining it's working nicely, so damn hard to find parts for such rare cars..
Hello, I greet you from Barcelona, Spain. It is admirable what you do, revive an old BMW and also working in the snow and cold. My congratulations, I admit that I live entertaining moments watching your videos.
Конечно, с такими кузовными проблемами судьба этой Е21 уже предрешена, однако, замена масла, ремонт системы охлаждения, замена главного цилиндра сцепления, новое масло с фильтром.... Черт возьми, это так круто ! Я бы сказал что проводили Е21 с почестями и с большим уважением в последний путь. Молодцы!
That's an interesting headlight and grille configuration. Usually most E21s had either the dual 7 inch round headlights or the quad 5 3/4" lights. North American spec cars got the quad round headlights.
Dual headlights were fitted to the 316 models, 320's and 323's got quads, as max p said, you could get aftermarket kits for 316's that added the middle two lights.
I think this engine needs a new head gasket and the head block might need skimming as it could be warped from the overheating issue you have now fixed - Well done getting it to stay running ! 👍👍👍
man i dont know how u do it u work out in the rain snow etc. and make treys beautiful cars run again love your channel from your biggiest fan from Massachusetts keep [ up great work
Love how you put all these great stuff on and in (cooling, oil, thermostat) and was shocked when there was no copper washer put on the oildrainplug ;) What rust on this car, and a lot in odd places!
When you were removing that oil filter that was stuck quite well, remembered about on occation when me and my friend worked on one 1.6 Ascona C and the oil filter on that was frozen solid to the housing. We tried an hour to get it out and finally we were able to get it removed when we just used a knife to shred the seal.
Muy buen capítulo,me gusta mucho los autos viejos yo anduve en un 320 4 cilindros. En mi adolescencia,que recuerdos....... saludos cordiales desde Uruguay
My former E21 had 110k miles on it. My E32 750iL has 223k miles on it. Once you get past modern BMW cheap plastic and crap technology issues, six figure mileages are not uncommon.
@@houseofno I drive now F11 530d with 294 700 km now and I am pretty satisfied with it. Although I have also W124, 220E, but with the Beemer I have absolutely no problem. Some 300-400€ yearly for oil change and some minor repairs are not big deal
Such love and devotion to a car that has already been stripped for parts and is very badly rusted. If nothing else I always learn something even if the work is being done on a write-off.
удивляешься какой ресурс был заложен в автомобили 80-90 годов. О таком качестве в наше время остается только мечтать. Даже за большие деньги теперь не купишь по настоящему ресурсный долговечный автомобиль....
nice video. I waited to see when this car will get its own video since I saw it parking aside in another video. My father had one many years ago. It was a 1982 315 (i don't know what's the difference) 1.6L 4-gear manual. The police used to stop us regularly to check we don't speed up...
Hola exelente trabajo como siempre ....gracias por mostrar ese 316 hermoso modelo q noble q eran como siempre los coches de los años dorados puro fierro mecánica mecánica sin electrónica ni chips ....por dios eran maravillosos gracias por el video saludos
@@АндрейКазаков-л7ф8я У вас уважаемый, была такая марка и модель машини в семье? Мне кажется что нет, да и вообще, судя по томому негативу от которого от вас воняет, вы ошиблись каналом дружочек.
because they rotted as fuck and won't pass inspection, which is sad. but rather die than some 13 year olds have it as a field car thats raped and beaten to death. Honorable death atleast.
There can be a wide variety of reasons. Impossible to tell on a car this old. If this is a CIS injection car, those fuel injection systems are notoriously difficult to troubleshoot. Could also be economic reasons. Lots of possibilities. In many countries, taxes are higher on older cars to push people into buying newer cars, partially subsidizing the new car industry. Some bureaucrats have this shortsighted myth that older cars pollute more than new ones.
Ultimately because people don't look after their cars, and much prefer to just keep buying new ones every three years, like kids in candy shops. Throwing things out of the pram that they don't want, and then wanting it back, when it is way too late.
@@antiochiaadtaurum3786 its not always that simple. Esp if the cost of the repair exceeds the value of the car. That happens too. A fuel injection system repair on a BMW even an old one can sometimes cost thousands. Try not to judge if you don't know the whole story.
Beautiful car ! So misstreated... its an original dutch car but what i dont understand since there was a key for the ingnition why are all the locks drilled through? ( every keyhole as a drillhole underneath to bypass the lock )
And my friends and family and all others say "you will NEVER be able to drive that car. It's unrepairable due to the rust!"🤣🤣 they have been nagging on be for 20 years "just junk it man!" NO FUCKING WAY! I love that car more than ANYTHING! is a 1985 volvo 244 DL. my father bought it in 1998 and he went in wheelchair due to his diabetes and he gave me that car in 2002 when I was 11 years old. And I still refuse to give up the hope to restore it 🥰😍👌🤩

THE MECHANIC , fantastic the way you improvise man , you are TOP 💯👌👍👍👍
That one looked too good at first for parts. Then you showed the rust! Amazing that carburetor still worked. Loved your "drive by wire" system!!!

Carburetor and fuel pump worked! wow 😁 old school quality

It's still good for parts though

I actually worked on it when it was a donor car. Took the interior and front bumper apart. Great to see it run!
It sounds EXACTLY like my '87 E30 did. The nostalgy hit very hard! ✌

After suffering such a long time still runs … the best you can get
My brother used to have this BMW in light red, when I was a kid! It was great.
За замену масла лайк не глядя!!!
That 316,was a special model, double exhaust,the stripes, that is a Hartage model they are very rare the main thing is you got it going,
Thank you for this video.This job was greate.Greetings and thanks from Romania🇷🇴
You are a giant among men for your skill, grit and determination in sometimes very hardh conditions.

Waw The E21 Is now here this Bmw Is soo old But soo Nice Just a Good Video
Great video flexiny, great work, great car, perfect for a restoration, always a pleasure to watch your videos 👌😀👍
That's an interesting headlight and grille configuration. Usually most E21s had either the dual 7 inch round headlights or the quad 5 3/4" lights. North American spec cars got the quad round headlights.
It was an aftermarket item. Common for lower spec models to gain dedicated high beams
Dual headlights were fitted to the 316 models, 320's and 323's got quads, as max p said, you could get aftermarket kits for 316's that added the middle two lights.
A common option for late model UK cars. The last ‘81-‘83 cars, with the 1766cc engine.
Guys, I can buy a E21, 315i from Greece. Does it worth it at all from
Mai 1983

Really enjoyable video. No chatter leaves the viewer free to work it out and reflect. Thanks for posting.
Zajebista 😍
Love how you put all these great stuff on and in (cooling, oil, thermostat) and was shocked when there was no copper washer put on the oildrainplug ;)
What rust on this car, and a lot in odd places!
If i use grease on bolts then I use bearing grease usually 😀
The car says "This is what I needed for a long time"
You need to keep and restore this car , as always super video
Good job !
Very cool, that you changed parts and oil, although the BMW is fully rusted! Greetings from germany....
When you were removing that oil filter that was stuck quite well, remembered about on occation when me and my friend worked on one 1.6 Ascona C and the oil filter on that was frozen solid to the housing. We tried an hour to get it out and finally we were able to get it removed when we just used a knife to shred the seal.
Oh wow its rumbling into life and on its last legs, but still gives us a great performance, what a plucky BMW.😁😍

My former E21 had 110k miles on it. My E32 750iL has 223k miles on it. Once you get past modern BMW cheap plastic and crap technology issues, six figure mileages are not uncommon.

For sure this BMW still better than 100% nowaday american cars.
Another amazing salvage! Great job friend! Best regards from Italy ❤
That was a great job you did, terrific hands! Was a pleasure to watch!
Off yeah , another find and another little shark E21 , from Holland , Nederland 🇳🇱 👍
so much fun there, wish i can get to your big place someday and drive those cars you collected

Yes 😀
@@Flexiny Man, I cannot believe the amount of snow you have - we have only wind and rain here...!
Nice BMW old durable and reliable
now he convinced me, he can start anything that has engine in it
RWD + Snow = Fun !
Ahh yes wintertime, the best time for tinkering outside!
Worst time, cold, snowy, rainy, wet and ice. But atleast no mud in workshop (outdoors)
Love this headlights , ex NL car too!
It sounds awesome

How much fun you have!
M539 Restorations is having a fit right now for not checking inside the engine before starting it lol🤣
It was pretty cold outside, so had to bypass things like this 😂
This is almost unheard of in the UK
Woah this is too good for a drift car man
Cool car👍👍
i love when motor take a breath after many years
Looks like a perfect variant for winter missile car
Как всегда зачёт 👍👍👍
That was too easy! Time for a full restoration.
you are so courageous to work under snow
a happy little car
Just bought one today. A 315 from 1983
Good job👍
I've said it in the past and I'll say it again: M10 motors run forever.
Is it 4 or six cylinder? Sounds really good . Glad you guys got it running again.
4 cylinder, the model is 316
Sounds really good for 4 cylinder. Nice 👍
Doesn't look too bad considering how long its been sat for
If some company can make those old car as Electricity car like Tesla, it can survive longer :)
Rimac did it

Buen trabajo 👍🏻
Love your videos but why are those cars left to rot in fields?
because they rotted as fuck and won't pass inspection, which is sad. but rather die than some 13 year olds have it as a field car thats raped and beaten to death. Honorable death atleast.
because they are either rotten so bad that they arent roadworthy or their engines are blown, we have a shit ton of cars sittin on our field

change head and cover gaskets then do valve adj. itll be good as new
