Freddie thats a very rare 316 BMW from the 1970's 1600cc ... 3 series they only made it 2 door back then as my mum had an orange 1977 316 as that model only came with single lights and I remember that you only got a drivers side mirror as standard. crazy as now all cars fitted with to mirrors standard ... great video

[@Honkawsuzyamal]

E 21 is the model code. Freddie is showing his age - or lack of it

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

*Yup. An E21 two-door sedan.* The 5 series are four-door sedans only.

[@spdaltid]

Correct, regarding the 316. But [with my anorak hood in place] I had a 318 [Carb] model with single headlights and remember it also came with the 318i. My memory thinks the 6 cyl cars - 320/323 came with dual headlights. Freddie, as a youngster, you are of course forgiven - keep those old 4 wheel Cameos coming.

[@Ventcis]

I don’t like BMW in particular but this BMW E30 318is, 1991 model was… a bullet🔥🔥🔥 Awesome engine response.

[@Honkawsuzyamal]

@@spdaltid I'm another anorak. The model I had was a 1988 E30 316 .It was unusual in that it was the upgrade E30 with plastic bumpers and more rust resistant bodyshell but with the ancient bullet proof M10 1766cc engine. The 4cyl engine that was in most upgrade models was rubbish with a chocolate camshaft

[@ArcopXCV]

Hello Freddie! Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them a lot. One question: the Ride&Sons Shifter Boots are they also wearable in summer? Or do they get too hot? Thank you

[@Adventurist]

I've been rocking under armor for a year now and I will never go back to normal riding gear. I don't want to look like an astronaut when I visit my friends. The under armor lets me wear whatever I want, it is perfect. During summer you can just throw over a pair of linen pants because lets be real: normal fabric doesnt protect you anyways. Great video, thanks for sharing! Love the classic look.

[@Volksplane1]

I like the look of the gear you have more than mine, but worry about lack of impact armour. Boots holding the ankle from breaking. Knee, shoulder elbow, hard armour etc. If ever we have the unthinkable accident, would you like to lie there and think "well I did all I could with protection the rest is fate" OR " If only I was wearing more protection I might have come off better." You only have one body for your whole life. Only thoughts, we worry because we like you. I say we, my wife follows you too. Keep up the enthusiasm. Keep up the videos, fantastic!

[@michalnemsak7886]

Exactly my thoughts. I watched this video while praying Freddie never touches the ground with anything else than his foot :D

I now enjoy a much more basic set up of a few bits of waterproof kit and warm gear i need to enjoy a day out on the bike, my Triumph Scrambler 1200. If you're ever down in the Dawlish area, let me know.

[@greyriddance64]

Just a note about Stylmartin quality from my personal experience. I have had my Rocket boots for 8 years now, used them everywhere with high and low temperatures, sun or rain. When I moved to Sweden they became my daily walking boots for the winter, until I got a job with motorcycles and started riding again. The boots are still here covering double duty, still being used for walking and riding. Considering that they cannot be resoled, I am pretty amazed. I had them repaired once because one stitching gave up on top of the boots.

[@peterhobbs7609]

LOL, Monika is right Freddie, although o be fair they actually look like my gardening gloves!

[@jimporter]

That’s because they are gardening gloves.

[@ericlips2420]

I love the Hood jeans. Bought a pair and had them shipped to my hotel when visiting London. Brexit made them a bit more expensive this side of the North Sea. Excellent advice and service. Well worth it.

[@millinutz]

BANDIT. You didn't look far enough in Europe! There is a manufacturer in Europe. BANDIT a Helmet that's just as slim as yours, if not slimmer and they've always been popular with my HD biker buddies, and not expensive. It's been my favourite for many years, even though they were long without the ECE.... until roughly 3 or 4 years ago the name...? BANDIT.

Vale Onslow were still going strong until about 12 years ago. They were on Stratford Road in Birmingham and continued to sell and work on British bikes until the end. They repaired an XS 650 of mine for free, after someone they knew drove into the back of me whilst checking his phone! It was a real old school bike shop.

[@louisgara8754]

Thanks, Freddy, another enjoyable video. I had a 1978 BMW 320i (US version) in the same body style of that lime green car you showed. Your channel is unlike any other KZbin motorcycle out there in the best way. Subscribed, liked and waiting for the next video. Your pants, jacket, and gloves are ultra-lightweight, imo. I wear a Klim suit with Level 2 armor in the knees, hips, elbows, and shoulders over a Klim airbag vest. But you do you and I hope you, me, or anyone else never has to test their gear on pavement.

[@obsidian652]

I have a question: i recently saw your classic 350 videos and really like the bike. The thing is that i bought a helmet for riding school before i knew what bike to get and it was a black carbon sports helmet which was the only one that fittet very well of the whole store. So if i buy the 350 when i get my license will i look really dumb with such a helmet on a classic bike or is it nothing to worry about?😂

I remember one of your other videos comenting that for one peice of your clothing I bought all mine including a helmet 😂 I've only just upgraded my jacket after 25 years for a used one at £65 and am looking to upgrade my boots to something waterproof, but can't believe the price of new ones, maybe that's the Yorkshire man in me talking 😁 I'll keep using carrier bags over my socks for now.

[@luddite6239]

Nice jackets. I have a 40 year-old Belstaff,which I still wear. I was going to sell it, but when I saw the cost of a new one, I decided to keep it! Now I know you're renowned for your "relaxed" attitude to machine maintenance but don't forget that you also have to "service" your waxed cotton jackets. It's important to clean and reproof them regularly, otherwise they can lose their waterproofing and dust can become trapped in the coating causing wear to the material and stitching (particularly important after your many sandy miles through Morocco, I think).

[@Ian-xt1mb]

I bought mine in 1971!

[@DirkGentley42]

I should have kept mine from '79 and lost weight! I sold mine for what i thought was a good price until i saw the current RRP. Gulp. So i bought a Merlin instead, which is like having a duvet wrapped around you it is so cozy. I haven't had to use the thermal lining even in the winter. Heavy bugger though.

[@DirkGentley42]

I actually find reproofing my wax cotton a therapeutic meditative experience. (I might be alone with this🙂).

[@tristanyseult]

Freddie I bought some Uniclo thermals from Bluewater on your recommendation. absolutely superb. thank you.

[@cranklesnacks]

my first car was a 1983 320i - when I bought it at 16 it was a sub $2k car and it was not considered fancy at all. manual transmission in blue/gray - absolutely loved that car. probably still my favorite car i’ve had. I wrecked it (flipped it over) being stupid of course. it’s a shame governments have made it impossible for teenagers to buy $2k cars like this.

[@903lew]

I’ve got a pair of those Ride & Sons boots and while they’re fine for what They are I don’t think I’d buy them again. Sole is quite possibly the most slippery ones I’ve ever experienced which can be quite scary in the rain at the lights. Also, the Velcro by the zip is already giving up and I’ve only used them for a few months. In regards to jackets, if you fancy the Belstaff I’d have a look at the Gold Top offering. For the same price you get great leather in AAA with good armour. Sadly I find the current reincarnation of Belstaff to be more fashion than substance.

[@DirkGentley42]

Yes. Back in the day ('79) we bought a Belstaff partly because they were cheaper than a leather. Returning to biking after a gap, I was looking for another one but nothing prepared me for the new prices! Luckily I discovered Merlin for my main (armoured, heavy) bike jacket, and Speedwear for a robust trail master look alike (less than £100). Unfortunately Belstaff have priced themselves out of my scope. Barbours used to be posh, but they are half the price of the belstaff.

[@DirkGentley42]

I've recently discovered Goldtop gloves. I'm so impressed with the leather and quality, one of their leathers will be on the shopping list when i need a new one. Also like you in not impressed with having to work out which Belstaff is a motorcycle jacket or a fashion jacket, they used to be nice heavy almost canvas material.

[@903lew]

@@DirkGentley42 I mean, old Belstaff went bust so I can’t really blame them for changing their business model. From what I can see they’re doing quite well really and that’s a good thing all things considered. But for protective gear I’m far too timid to ride in just A-rated (or indeed level 1) gear. With modern materials I don’t really understand why you’d by anything less than AA as they’re neither that heavy nor cumbersome these days. But like you said, there’s Merlin, there’s Gold Top, there’s about a million brands out there that work great for a more reasonable price.

The BMW at the start of the video was a first generation E21 3 Series. The "R" numberplate would date its registration to the period from August 1977 to July 1978. The 3 Series was introduced in 1975 as a replacement for the 02 Series, i.e., 1602 and 2002, their previous compact saloon. The two single headlights would indicate a smaller engined version such as the 316 or 318, as the 320 had four headlights. Also, this original 3 Series only came as a two-door saloon. Four-door and estate versions would only be introduced with its replacement, the second generation E30 3 Series in 1982. PS: You're correct about the 5 series; it has never been available as a two-door. The contemporary 5 Series to the car in this video, the first generation E12 (1972-1980), was available in the same sickly green colour but only came as a four-door saloon, ditto the second generation E28 (1981-1987). The closest thing to a two-door 5 Series was the original E24 6 Series coupe (1976-1989), which was built on the same platform.

It's possible that Joe's father's motorcycle had a VIN number. If so, that would be one way to identify it. Also, it's possible that there is some database online, possibly run by the government, that lists who owns a vehicle with a particular VIN number.
