Very cool walk-around video. I absolutely loved hearing your story and journey that you've had with your e21. All the work youve done to it, can feel the genuine love and passion you have for the car and its awesome

[@bellauren7758]

Awesome car Becky, and your enthusiasm for it (and all the cars you show on your channel for that matter) is so uplifting to see. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and car enthusiasm in these great quality videos. I always look forwards to watching them. You're doing such a great job! 😀

[@cunnerzzz]

The production quality on this video was absolutely formidable. Reaaally enjoyed this Becky!

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

I’ve been working with BMWs for 25 years. I still love the older models. Used to have an e30 318is, then traded up for a 99 M coupe and now the newest car I’ve ever had for myself an 05 325 touring that I swapped from an auto awd to 5spd manual rwd. But my heart still lies with the BMWs from the 80s and 90s. Hopefully have another, one of these days.

What a throwback! I remember seeing this at shows back in 2015, looking forward to seeing it around again.

[@scottvirgogp]

Epic delivery on this video! Very engaging piece to camera. Keep up the top content, the classic passion is coming through the video in spades.

[@blueeye2114]

You and your e21 were one of the reasons i bought an old e24 when corona started. I will never regret it and will keep it forever!

[@BeckyEvans]

That’s cool! Keep her forever xx

[@mattlawton4715]

@@BeckyEvans thoes single head lights do look good 👍

[@shakealeg88]

Bring it on with getting up the E21 up to dream standard!! I think that it would be pretty cool if you swapped the six cylinder in, you can do the engine bay then. That's a beautiful E21 already, love the color! I think ATM there is so much content that you can do with this one :)

[@RangePisteMies]

Love the story of your E21! She is family member and I bet she stays with you to end of times. Older cars are best because they feel something and they have soul❤ Cheers!💯🔥🍺🇫🇮

[@andrewnichols1023]

I love your enthusiasm for old cars, old BMW’s are fantastic, it’s build quality over gizmos, they were just built to last back then.

[@muthukumaranc]

Love this type of videos Becky!

[@eBayUKofficial]

Your passion is infectious 🤩She's a beauty 🧡

[@BeckyEvans]

😊 thank you

[@iainmartin1015]

Gotta love an E21. Great story too. How common are the 16 valve engines from the E36 - 318is. That would be a good swap. If you stick with the OE unit I would go for ITB's with EFI and possibly a 'mild' camshaft. You would still get all the intake noise but with the reliability of EFI.

[@E12m535i]

I’m thinking about selling my e12 m535i but watching videos like this makes me realise the reasoning why I own it. Those slow wipers made me smile 😅

[@classicrestouk]

Nice car. I had a 320/6 auto e21. Same colour, and I notice you've got the 6 cylinder front light setup 😊 I personally hate the fact suspension parts are not so available, so I completely understand your move to air ride.

[@claytonoldzkool2604]

Yep the classics definitely have a place, I have an e30, I was always torn between the 2.. Yours looks great, the heater problem.. me too, it’s just a thing we Gota do, around this age… Yours looks timeless, honestly, new carpets, heater fixed, preferably a six cyl with Webber carbs then it’s complete.. I’d be pretty happy with that build. It was a good watch, cheers! P.S yes I’m from the drift scene but I also love my classics!

[@Auhbseluhte]

Becky, pls keep that E21 its only going up in value as time goes on. these cars in the next 10 to 15 yrs will fetch 120k easy in decent condition and my sure yours is better than decent condition.

[@mikpug]

Great job, and single lights do look best! Proper BMW ✅

Great Video Becky had same car In the 80s 316 model in that colour brought back some great memories Colin

Never seen a young lady talking about old car with do much enthusiasm. I'm a fan of bmw and we normally have this sort of conversation with my mates, mechanics etc....Nice video!!!! And beautiful car (shame not 6 cylinder)

Had a 2 door 323 on a B reg back in the mid 90's, beautiful car, I'm sure Becky knows more about the car than me😊

Nice change from your usual stuff good to see old Red, she's looking mint. Silly question how do you get away with no front plate?

[@russellrattys6581]

Nice 😎 Im currently doing an engine change in a bmw E36 I have taken the M42B18 engine out, and im building an M50B25 engine from scratch, and putting that in 😁

Thanks 👍

[@samirmahmood4285]

Omg I finally found you wow I remember I used to follow you on Instagram about 9 or 10years ago thats when I first saw your red e21 I became fan you made it look cool ive always had a dream to have a older bmw but give it a modern touch I came of social media but never forgot your car and now finally I found you again I have to say you have come a long way may god bless you and make everyday a new door off success and happiness

[@kevint3845]

Are you going to carry on with the MOTs once the car is 40 ?

[@bigfist255]

Brings back memories, I had one in the metallic red ,in the 90s they drive very well ,the guy I sold it to abandoned it on the street till it got towed away by council 😢

[@armandoprosini1018]

Absolutely love the e21 , It sure deserves a pair of Solex 40 , I can assure you will be happy with it as I finally have in mine. Greetings from Co.Wexford.

[@Mike_5]

The best thing about this Becky is you really know how to drive properly!

[@BeckyEvans]

Thank you!

[@robster6868]

I don’t think those wheels are oe fitment on g60 rallye or the normal g60,nice tastefully modded car though,by changing the seats though,do you lose that old bmw interior smell?

A pretty girl saying twin 40s 😍 love your passion Becky I were a cosworth man a few years ago. Wish I still had the escort cossie 😩

[@paulvon2378]

Quite lovely! The car is ok too

[@andrewnichols1023]

Have you got the full tool kit in the boot, they are always things that go missing, I had an e36 with the full tool kit and a working touch in the glove box, a very rare thing to find. That car like yours was so reliable, brought it on 66k and put another 100k on it and had hardly any issues with it, the most expensive bill was a new clutch at 300 quid which was so cheap. I had small issues like wiper motor and a window regular but pretty much a bulletproof car, plus it was a 6 pot so had that fantastic bmw sound.

[@zperformancez]

Hi darling where did you buy rear midle bmw reflector ?Thanks !you have nice e21

[@mrstaylor2938]

Your bmw e21 is a nice car i looks like a brand new car. Hope you enjoy driving it its a lovely car. ❤🎉😊❤

[@mcjjordan]

Wish my e21 looked as good as yours. Although i binned the m10 @33k & fitted m52b28 which made it much better on fuel!

[@Stallzyx]

For some reason I thought this was your dad's old car, this red one lol and then you restored it or something. Looks really nice though besides the carpets but not sure how easy that is to sort out or maybe you like the patina. Battery probably needs to be kept on trickle charge or keep it regularly driven or turned over so it charges from the alternator if the air ride is constantly taking power. Most of my dream classics are JDM and the prices have rocketed since I was looking at them back in like 2013/2014

[@factsofmotivationofficial]

What a beaut. My dad had an E21, same colour too

[@sandydogy]

Absolutely beautiful lady. I'm 43 and remember people my parents age in executive jobs having cars like this in the 80s. The older you get you start looking round and the little details on older cars like the chrome it just doesn't exist anymore.

[@iainf6]

I had a 1602.... Fantastic car 😍

[@karlj1717]

I’d of picked the 2002 tii turbo if I was going to have a classic BMW but they are super rare and silly money but I do like your choice and it looks in fantastic condition.

Great car . Used to have a 323 e21 . One of my favourites I should of kept along with a 635csi and M535i .

1990 Essex - not long passed my test and a few lads have e12 323i and are powering round burning off the Capris/Escorts MK1/2 etc (Not always - don't beat me up) but i hadn't got the BMW bug yet - my Dad gets an e23 & series and I'm sold. My first car at 17 (I am 50 now) was an e23 728i auto - Vreg which seemed vast at the time but pretty damn quick. I progressed to the big engined luxo cars but 1991 I went for an auto e30 316 in Zinnobar Red that was £7k! - wish i got my hands on an e21 - yours is AWESOME Becky - never let it go! :-) x

[@BeckyEvans]

Love the story, these cars have such nostalgia. I promise you I will never sell this car xx

[@davidh2022]

@@BeckyEvans Hi Becky - just realised in my excitemet to reply I put 'e12' instead of e21at the start of my waffle! - I had a e12 M535i for a while (2000 - 2001 ish) - my love for it invades all my rambling/ranting!

[@colinpadley1897]

Looks great

[@andrewnichols1023]

An old school bmw has to be a 6 pot, that would be a great swap. So what if it’s only a 2.0L it will have that classic bmw engine note and with twin webbers will sound glorious.

[@oscardean6351]

My dad had the exact same car 316 it’s actually got a 1.8 engine. Did you know that It was navy blue with the single headlights I loved the way the bonnet opened the wrong way 😂 with the Beije interior, it was of its time

[@roscopeco2000]

Enjoyed this video, couple of things couldn't you upgrade the bulbs to a LED version? and also your sound sounds abit muffled in this vid..

[@leegreen8885]

Proppa quality video and a well looked after motor ........ sounds mad but I love the smell the minute you open the door on a classic 👌

[@KateAlexander-ig3ny]

Ah amazing! When does the MOT season start for everyone? Love this! In what way are you working with eBay? Do you believe that modifying your classic car with air ride suspension and modern parts increases the value and how do you know it’s a she and not a he? As a single mum and years of interest in cars, have you undergone any qualifications? I love your video and can’t wait to hear back from you

[@nikolaykolev5125]

You sounds so good, that slightly suspect commercial behind.

You bought one at 21, i "lost" mine at 21. We're the same age. She was olive green, 6 cylinder, with Recaro seats. The cylinder head cracked because my silly father never took care of her, but i was going to do a complete restoration. She was RARE where i live. I lost her one night because somebody called the municipality and told them she was a derelict, while she clearly wasn't because i was firing her up, washing her etc. I woke up one day and she was gone. I was going to move her to the garage of our new house. I tried getting her back but since she was my father's he refused to do it. You see he is a communist and didn't want to own a car anymore. Owning one thing already (a house) was too much for him ideologically. Sounds ridiculous but it's 100% true.
