BMW E21 B6

Post by DennisB6 »

Hi,

I'm new at this forum. Ended up here after buying an E21.

The car is probably known to some of you, it also has been offered for sale at this forum.

The car was build bij Oldenhof in Enschede as a C1 in '78. Later it was transferred into a B6.

Yesterday we finally had a bit of nice weather, so I was in doubt, cleaning the car or treat myself on a nice ride and make some pictures, hmm. So I decided to do a bit of both. First cleaning the inside and go for a ride later.

Immideately also swapped the passenger and driver seat, both seats are still OK but the fabric on the passengers' was a bit better as it was used less of course.

After a couple of hours work I finally started the 2.8, 6 in line up and went for a ride. Ended up making some pictures with a big smile on my face :), great ride and a great sound with the 2 simons end pipes...

Greetz,

Dennis

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.

Simon's is a manufacturer of exhaustsystems. They made or maybe still do make exhaustsystems for the BMW 323i and others offcourse. It gives just that bit of extra in sound but not over the top.

As for the Alpina thing between the rearlights? I would say keep searching on E-bay etc.

Dear Dennis
What Build number is your Alpina please- we should find its plaque number in the Alpina Register?
