The Top Gear team bring a lovely E21 back to life.

Great transformation. Thanks for sharing.

8 hours to peel off the cocoon and it turns out to be a glimpse of a beauty. Well done even if the true beauty of this ultra-rare classic may only emerge after a complete overhaul.

Unique ride and cool to see the transformation. I would’ve loved to see the roof down.

Top Gear is now a detailing channel? Who knew..

And they never even opened the hood!

RHD Baur TopCabrio 323i? Pretty rare here, for sure!

First time I notice the common themes between the E21 and the E30
Great job, if they had time to re-chrome the trim, it would have made a big difference
Also touch up a few of those paint chips

I love watching these videos. I find it amazing how a little ( or lot) of TLC can do.
