Built, Not Bought.
Rebuilding the classics.
Project E21 primarily documents the complete transformation of my 1981 BMW E21, following its evolution from a classic daily driver to a purpose-built machine powered by an E36 M42B18. While the E21 is the heart of the project, the garage is home to several other BMWs that have shaped our passion for the brand, including a 1975 BMW 2002, 2005 BMW M3, 2005 BMW M5, 2007 BMW X5, and a 2011 BMW 328xi. Together, they represent decades of BMW engineering and the enthusiasm that drives Project E21.
