E21 323i 1982

Post by yellow »

Hello,

A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a BMW E21 323i from 1982. Before I never had a BMW, but I'm liking it! I bought the car with corroded jacking points at the front and worn tires in the back, that was the reason why the car didn't receive MOT/APK/... These problems were solved. Now I'm facing a charging problem, which was already discussed in this forum. Hopefully I'm able to repair that as well, it started when I received it back from the body workshop. I replaced the alternator, but without any result.

Car is looking a little bit dusty :roll:

Looks like a nice example - hope you get it back on the road soon :driving
I take it you've checked the battery is OK... Hope its not a wiring fault but good luck with whatever it is :)

Curious if you ever managed to fix her and put her back on the road!

Keep us posted!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
