This will hopefully serve as a storage location for build threads by various bimmerforums members. I'll update it as best I can so feel free to stick replies in with threads that I may have missed. I'm trying to keep this as clean as possible so if you could only post build threads that have been completed or are significantly developed that'd be nice. There are so many one page "My new build" threads that end with "I'm selling my e21" that I'd rather not include a build thread unless it's shown development. My apologies if that is offensive or unkind. Also these are in alphabetical order so don't feel offended if you are down the list, it's just because of your user name.

mine worthy? i dont update it often enough, but its got some progress in there, and im not selling it any time soon(ie. ever hopefully)
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1158146
and if a mod sees this, can they change the title to
hakhawks quad bike carb'd 320i
Absolutely, can't wait to see the bike carbs. I don't want to be in the business of deeming "worth". I'm leaving that up to the people who want their build threads added (you want it up, I'll add it), I just put the disclaimer above so that people can make their own judgment calls.

Here is my M42 swap and suspension rebuild thread if you think it has enough info...
.: M42 Swap Thread M42 Turbo Build Thread E85 Conversion :.
My YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/AdamPE21
Just to clarify I'm not going to judge weather I think it has enough info or not. Anyone can post a build in the replies and I'll add it. Just be thoughtful of the disclaimer in the original post and don't post something unless you think it's developed, but it is totally up to the builder.
As a personal, subjective, and entirely useless opinion I absolutely think your thread has enough info. It has photos of sub frame modifications in a manner that facilitates replication, and photos of the fitment of the M42 in the engine compartment. And there is PBR in a snow drift. If there were three requirements those would be them. But there are no requirements
Haha I knew the PBR would tip the scale.

Bump back to the front...
BTW, PG&E fried my last computer with the web page and management programs on it so I haven't been able to update my site lately. I have the computer repaired now but need to get it up and running with my new ISP. Extensive updates coming soon.

Try to add this, so it wouldn't be forgotten.

How about joel323's body work/rust repair thread? I think it shows the repair/replacement of a rear shock tower, floor boards, and a frame rail.

We have a guy that has a e21 that did this to his z3. And then theres Ken who has rebuilt or modifyed every thing from a sump pump to a cost gard cutter, and JRcook that knows k-jet like the back of his hand and put toghter the best FAQ on this forum.Thanks but I think we got it
That is true. It is a very cool swap, indeed, and there is good info there. I appreciate you wanting to contribute. However, the purpose of this specific thread was to have a thread listing all the build threads written by E21 forum members. I can add your link to the list of engine swap threads in our FAQ thread as it could be helpful to any crazy soul who decides to embark on an e21 LS1 swap. It will be more fitting there. Thanks for the input.
i will make a new thread with all the pics from when i started till now. each seprate of each of my cars. just give me couple of days to mount the new stuff i got for my cars.
thanks .. awsome work you guys..
i will make sure add this thread to my website when i update that next.
Bump for two recently added interesting builds.
Ill be doing a build soon enough.
BTW, this needs to be stickied, I didnt even know this was created.
i dont think ive done a build thread on here, doesnt really count though since i no longer have the BMW heart
......... 3.8L V6 + T04Z + 15psi + e85 = 500rwhp - 10sec 1/4 mile - Hopefully .........
Sure it count's but I can't seem to find your build thread. Post it in the comments if you want me to include it.
No bmw heart for me neither, mine wasnt much of a build thread either.
Dug up from the grave bump. Any new builds I should add?
Add mine if you feel its worthy.
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1667149
if you do could you change the name to just Vance's Addictions?
Nice work, Milotrain; thanks for compiling all this great content!
I hope to add my build thread down the line; I need to post the balance of my pics, add the write-ups and get a little further on the restoration. I feel like I spent the whole summer working on my restore and now I'm back to square one with the donor. Chalk it up to more practice, I guess... I just want to drive my car soooooo bad!
what about mine. havent done many updates because of work and waiting on parts
