    You are the exact opposite of modern mechanics: they watch, connect computers and various diagnoses and then replace everything, without even attempting a repair, the customer pays so much!
    You do a great job, keep it up, great channel!

    One of my favourite models. The way in for people on a budget to enjoy the BMW aesthetic (lovely proportions, fine detailing, unique shark nose grille, ribbed velour upholstery even in the base model). People sometimes criticise the 316 for being “slow” but I don’t think that was the point of this model. As with the Escort Ghia or Dolomite 1500, it was about quality. A feel for something special that was still relatively affordable to run.
    Cars from a more interesting age than today’s plethora of SUVs in silver, grey and black. These were the days of Henna Red, Dolphin Blue and Reseda Green, with upholstery choices of charcoal, dark blue, tan, pale green. Wonderful.

    замена масла, ремонт системы охлаждения, замена главного цилиндра сцепления, новое масло с фильтром....
    Черт возьми, это так круто ! Я бы сказал что проводили Е21 с почестями и с большим уважением в последний путь.

    That's an interesting headlight and grille configuration. Usually most E21s had either the dual 7 inch round headlights or the quad 5 3/4" lights. North American spec cars got the quad round headlights.

      Dual headlights were fitted to the 316 models, 320's and 323's got quads, as max p said, you could get aftermarket kits for 316's that added the middle two lights.

    When you were removing that oil filter that was stuck quite well, remembered about on occation when me and my friend worked on one 1.6 Ascona C and the oil filter on that was frozen solid to the housing. We tried an hour to get it out and finally we were able to get it removed when we just used a knife to shred the seal.
