A few on line but mostly restored. Go for good money by the looks of things.

Sounds like a proper project though Probably no nasty computer used and no degree in Computer Science needed either.

Good luck with the search.

Hi yes back to the good old days ! Rust, rust and rust, with a bit of rust thrown in.
Back in my teens I had 7 of these wish I had kept one, I had to have a concrete flag in the back as it used to spin every time you even looked at the wheel.
I bought a new VW Polo last week for my son to learn in, F15 4 days before that and still have a hankering for a project must be mad as the last project took 16 years and a new cars worth of spares and work Jensen Healey convertible .
The old timers are a bit more fun to drive and work on .

Bought the 323i new in 81 was aware of the rust so had lots of anti rust stuff done. Got out of a lhd 528i typical German car of the time, lowered big bbs wheels, brilliant car. Initially was very disappointed, felt like a sponge on the road. A few mods later brilliant. Kept it till I bought a cossie in 86. No rust so money well spent. Seen it about 2 years later and had to make a real effort not to burst into tears. It was in complete shit order.

Mine were always quite old hence why rust played a big part in the cars , my first one was a 320 auto ,I had just passed my test & that was the first car I bought with my own money , resprayed the car white and put blue stripes down the side , loved the car but sadly wrote it off hitting a Tractor . Then followed a brief stint with a car that rusted more than the E21 a 1984 Xr3i it was again several years old and after 10 months of ownership it had to go due to terminal rust , replaced by another BMW E21 320i in Black , also bought a Blue 316 , a Red 316 , never got round to the 323i although I should have bought one , Honda Prelude pop up lights , mk2 pop up lights Ex next , Green 320 E21 , Fiat Uno , Xj12, Xj6 , Ford Prefect , Vw Beetle , Opal Monza gsi , Jensen Healey x 5 , Honda Accord , Rover 25 , BMW X5 , Porsche Boxster still have , F15 40d .
I have probably missed quite a few off the list as I bought and sold cars days later after realizing I had bought a duffer but they would have turned to dust by now ( Fiat 126 , Fiesta mk1 , Ford Capri , 21 seater mini bus etc ) . But I remember the E21 the most for the shear fun factor and that I was in the local scrappy on a weekly basis .
It is good to remember as the way all cars seem to be going is very automated soon they will pass you slippers and a paper instead of a Sunday morning Hoon !
