Col. Brik Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) The '82 BMW 320i was in the E21 family of BMW 3 series cars from 1975 (1977 in the USA) through 1983. This MOC is one of my personal E21 that I Autocross/Solo1 and also daily drive! The front lower spoiler, rear spoiler and yellowed inner headlights are items I hope to add in the future to my actual Bimmer. My real life Bimmer Inspiration and Thanks for this MOC is credited to daxolesa and his wonderful Datsun 510 I feel in love with in the LugNut groups photo stream which can be seen here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dax-olesa/433...in/pool-lugnuts I used many of his techniques for my BMW and I thank him for the inspiration and photos of his MOC.

ACCURATEin Posted March 8, 2010 I think if i would have seen the car before the title i would have guessed it was an old school bimmer. It looks really good! I see you used light gray and light bluish gray tiles. I do that all the time! Someone should do a scene where half of a car is light gray and the other half is light bluish gray, and have someone washing the car. The light gray will be the dirty half and the other half will be the clean side. just a thought! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlieboy Posted March 8, 2010 Thats really cool,i love the real one too!Theres a chap in the uk that sells replica Alpina front spoilers,they look extremely smart on track cars such as yours!!!(im also a bmw nerd lol!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImLost Posted March 8, 2010 Great car, Col.Brik. Very sporty looking. I must admit though, when I first saw your model, I did not recognize what type of car it is. I think if you can somehow replicate the chrome detailing found on the front grill of the real-life version, your MOC would be more recognizable. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking, two 1x2 grill pieces placed vertically side-by-side. Also, I feel the car is not deep enough and the windows are too tall when compared to its real-life counterpart. Still, it is a very nice-looking model. Detailed and race-ready.

Thanks, I think I've seen those replica spoilers before, saving up my pennies and dimes. Hard to have two hobbies I like so much. They compete for funding. Great car, Col.Brik.

Badsneaker Posted March 10, 2010 Nice Bimmer! Can you do one in white? (My 89 325i) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted March 10, 2010 Very cool, I think you got it pretty spot on. I love the cheese slopes for the spoiler, that's exactly what i think some of those spoilers looklike, giant cheese slopes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Brik Posted March 10, 2010 Nice Bimmer! Can you do one in white? (My 89 325i) Thanks. E30?..I should be able to. I have one myself I am fixing up, a '90. In Red. Might be a little tougher to do, may need some slope parts.
