Barn Find - The Original BMW 3 Series: E21 323i - Project Castellón: Part 1

In this episode, I branch out and buy a Nissan! Except, I clicked on the wrong button and accidentally bought something else. I found this little gem in Castellón, Spain where it was sitting unused for the last 25 years. In the first instalment of the series, we take the delivery of the car, inspect the condition and see what it will take to bring it back to life.

My uncle got me into cars and this is the very first BMW 3 series he had, but it was a 320. I loved it. Peppy engine, manual, built like a tank and felt like the ultimate driving machine, from the passenger seat at least... He later had a 528, 733 and a fabulous manual red 535i which I had the chance to drive. He's the best uncle anyone could have. I was just 18 when he threw me the keys for his 733 and told me to get some cigarettes for him. He must've already have cigarettes but he knew I loved his car. Imagine, 18 and driving around in a new 733 with my brother. Let's say I took the long way home... I could go on talking about him but I dont want to bore you... GOAT uncle. Love u Andre.

Hey Sreten, concerning the K-Jetronic. It is most elegant and probably dreaded injection system at the same time. ;-) Totally mechanical except for fuel pump and every part of it is interconnected so it is nightmare to debug. There is nice introduction manual from Bosch that you really need to read to figure out what is going on where and why. Do not try to move the air flow meter flap by hand on dry fuel system. There is precisely ground piston in the fuel distributor and you can score it if it is dry. Rebuild of distributor and warm up regulator will be probably necessary after 26 years. It did not work for me but it is worth a try. I have older cast iron V8 version of the system that in the end needed remanufacturing from company that has the original test bed and plans from Bosch. Good luck with the K-Jetronic life. It can be .... fun. :-)

Wow, the Dodge is awesome. It is the kind where the engine sits between the front seats under a wide cover. A guy I know had one with a Hemi V8, and it could do wheelies. He used to show it off at the race tracks. The coolest thing about this old Dodge is that since the front is flat, and you sit close to it, you feel like you are going faster than you really are. That is a good thing, because, unless they have a V8, the are not fast.

[@karloanttila]

The 1984 323i was my first BMW that I bought brand-new. Euro delivered in Zurich and broke it in on my way to visit my elderly mom in Finland. I had a Helsinki BMW dealer perform the first service and I couldn't wait to open up the throttle on the autobahn...smiled all the way while cruising flat-out at 125 mph for 45 minutes. Mine had all the sport options (steering wheel, seats, rear spoiler) plus dealer installed 15" BBS wheels...awesome car! Prost!

I find all of your projects very exiting, but this one is the most exiting for me. And that is because this is the car that learned me to drive properly and fast. I was 19, and not many people could afford a car like that. But one of my friend's dad did, and sometimes, my friend and I, "borrowed" it and drew it. We got caught one day, and we were afraid of the consequences. But he, luckily for us, was a greater man than us, and said: "I will let each of you drive me downtown and back. If I am satisfied with your driving I will let you borrow the car "legally" this time. If not, I will make your lives a living hell!" We were undescribable happy to find out that we passed the test and from that day on, we were try guys passionate about cars, and continued to be friends. This car was a pretty fast car at the time (it kind of still is today) and if you were to have fun driving it, you had to learn how a fast car should be driven. I really hope that you will succeed in fully restoring this car. I know you have the passion, and you are just the right guy for the job, and I hope that you will also have the necessary means to be able to carry out the project.

Its because he is authentic. You can share the enthusiasm. Even the commercial plugs aren't painful and seem authentic too. Perhaps because they lack the common US overkill, honestly not trying to be offensive. Like when you watch a movie that isn't typically Hollywood, can be so refreshing

Ooooooh my DAYS! Could I BE any more excited?! Beemers ✅ Being Restored ✅ Old Beemers ✅ Old Beemers Being Restored ✅✅✅ 😍 I haven’t even watched it yet and I just *know* this is going to be my fave of all the series you’ve done! 😍 Both the E21 and E28 adorn the walls of my studio, someday one of them might adorn the driveway too! Thanks for rescuing this beaut! 😎👍

[@ericn7698]

Fantastic!!! Another video from Sreten! The next 41 minutes and 34 seconds are going to be *AWESOME*, I just know it! Salutations from halfway across the globe and along the Equator (Kenya).

[@CMDRRustyDog]

Cool Bimmer ! Hope you get that fully restored. Glad it's getting a full respray in original colour too. BTW that Dodge only had 3217.6 miles! The white number is the fraction of the mile

Found this channel during the lockdown. Really enjoy it. Thanks so much

[@marcellfazekas4365]

Kind of a nice birthday present for me lol this video. My dads first car was a e21 323i as well, which is going through restoration at the moment as well. Have fun with it!

[@SerbanCMusca-ut8ny]

I lost it when touching the sunshade yielded a sound similar to the one you get when you squeeze a potato chip bag. LMAO She really was a thing of glory, hope you'll make a nice restauration!

[@peterwillholz4257]

Great. My first car was a one-owner E21 323i. Blue-Metallic with BBS- Front- and Rear-Spoiler and the same Rims. My was a Chrome-Mirror model. I'm so happy to see this car at your Chanel.

[@t16incho]

I don't know anything about this legend, glad you bought it, share every research and lesson learn on the way to resurrection! Pam pam pam pam.....

Welcome to the Classic BMW scene. This comment is one more to congratulate your passion for cars, thee BMWs. And because i am a classic car fan, having owned 2 BMW 2002s and a E12 525, it is with immense pleasure to watch you working on an E21! P.S. Glad you are keeping it! Decision well taken.

[@marlondeagle]

Your channel motivates so much to work on cars by myself. Full support to you and keep up these thrilling projects!

Olive green one of those classic, rare colours that look so good,

[@rogermwoodbury4966]

I was excited to see you begin an E21 project. I bought mine new in 1979, a 320i which was my daily driver up here in Maine. I owned an insurance agency business and traveled throughout this large state year round in those days to see clients. In winter I fitted steel wheels with studded tires: absolutely necessary in that car in deep winter. In two and a half years I put over 100,000 miles on that car and loved it a lot. It was expensive as I made sure the dealer's service department was VERY thorough as I did not want the car to fail somewhere a hundred miles from the nearest stop light in the middle of the night. The car could have been used for years, but the first signs of body rust were appearing and because I also insured the Audi dealer, I bought a new (1982) Audi Coupe (NOT Quattro) which proved to be a terrible car for driving around this rural state with it's rough and uneven road surfaces. The E21 was resold to someone who lived in the central part of the state and I saw the car about three years later. At that point the rust had developed so that virtually all panel lines appeared outlined in red from the rust. That was my last BMW that I loved. I replaced the Audi Coupe with a new 1983 BMW 318i and that proved to be the worst car that I have ever owned, with transmission synchros that BMW never did get repaired and a totally unreliable cylinder head design that apparently pushed fuel over the exhaust valve. With the gasoline available here, the head was forever developing carbon and the head AND transmission in my car were both rebuilt twice by BMW under warranty before 60,000 miles. Good luck with the 323i as back in the day one of those was something that I was really hungry for although here in the US it was never available.

This is actualy a really great time capsule for its age

For sure. Just hope that the engine isn't stuffed. I can see Sreten making it a real gem.....

I had the identical car when i was 20yrs old (now 55) it was a right hand drive & mine had front & rear BBS bodykit & rear rubber boot spoiler, i loved that car so much.

[@ruimoutinho4648]

Looking for more vídeos of this e21. I also own a 1979 320/6 e21, you are going to love the driving of it. Very responsive engine, and low weight car. Just need better brakes, and some decent lowering springs, since you already have those yellow bilsteins. Greetings from Portugal. Love the content of the channel. You are a bmw sorcerer 😁😁
