Does anyone know the difference between an e12 and e21 recaro seat. Just bought two perfect condition e12 recaros and was wondering if they are dimensionally the same as an e21 seat. Obviously the rails are diferent but they look the same to me otherwise. Thanks for any help in this.

Up until yesterday I have been able to access my E21 using PC Suite and USB cable. Yesterday I downloaded the Ovi maps app. But when I tried to uplaod to the phone it aborted part way through. Now I cannot communicate with the phone using PC Suite. If I go to Installations/App Manager and then try to Install Nokia Maps 2 (shown as Not installed) it says "Unable to start operation. ...

Hi guys What am I thinking? Trying to put an E30 323i TC Bauer and an 323i E21 on the road (get them blue slipped) both this week! We are having the same small problems with both. 1. The reverse lights don't work on either of them... the E30 is an auto and the E21 is a manual. We've checked fuses etc. Is this a common fault? 2. The indicators don't turn off ...

I've just signed up, have been a lurker for quite a while though Am thinking about swapping my E30: ..for an E21, just wanted to find out a bit more about E21 ownership. If I find a good one, can they be maintenance free cars, or do they require a bit more tinkering than an E30? My E30 just seems to run and run, without me lifting a finger (which is just as well as I don't ...

I recently had a little accident with my E21 I smashed all three grills across the front. and the driver side headlight bucket is messed up. I've decided that now would be the perfect opportunity to convert it to the single headlight set up. Anybody have any ideas of where I can get the parts? > Grills, headlight buckets, headlights, etc? also, I've been having a real hard ...

My son has been using the E21 for the past 7 months. I just bought him a 08 Honda Civic Si, so the E21 gets a bit of a rest, and I can play with some mods since it truly becomes a spare car. Car is being shipped from OR, so we should have it next week. Ground effects kit, HID's, JDM badging, tinted, Injen intake and a few other goodies. I know, I know,...

Looking for a good condition E21! I've been looking for a new car recently and all the modern cars are boring so I want something retro that has a bit of personality and class Ideally looking for a 323i but would settle for any manual that is in good original condition. If anyone spots anything good please let me know! I've got my eyes on classic car sites, e-bay etc ...

This was actually taken off of an early 80's Euro spec 320i. It's all-aluminum and could be polished-up pretty nicely. I don't see a MFG name on it, so please don't ask. If you'd like more pics, I can certainly provide them to you. Just lemme' know. Pics of the Strut Bar can be seen here.. http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_for um/Itemid,50/page,download/id,39453/...

New owner with a 1980 320i. I love the car but finding parts... The local dealer says that the antenna is no longer available. Anyone know if this is true? The current antenna is broken off just above where it mounts to the outside firewall. The antenna cable has been hacked up by the PO. After removing the mounting screws, I can not remove the dead antenna. It ...

I found this great link. Useful if you're planning an engine swap in your E21, as the car is relatively light and with a six up front the weight distribution is rubbish. You (or atleast I) don't want to slide in a heavier engine http://www.vrchlabi.cz/e30/ruzne/enginenumber/ I am btw loving that the M60 weighs about the same as the M30! _________________ -rolfi -...
