    First car BMW 320i

    My first car was just like this one. In some ways it was like a Delorean.

    Mine was the same only a 78. Once I fixed some rust issues I spray it rattle can mat black before it was cool (actually didn't know how to paint properly). I loved that car and learned stick on it. I still have pieces of her hanging in my garage. I called her Wendy, which drove my wife nuts.

    My father had a '78 when he met my mother circa 1982. Many good memories in that car. He had to scrap it in 1995 when the rust became terminal The little Bavarian had racked up 390K miles and all it ever needed was the routine stuff and an A/C compressor. Bless your heart Herbie

    I've done lots of work to my friends 81 e21 that we built into a cheap endurance road racing car, we gutted every non structural panel we could cut out and rebuilt the engine with better parts, the chassis got all the "IS" parts we found at the local junkyard, springs shocks, swaybars, lsd, etc. Converted the kjet to LH jetronic from a volvo 240. It was a ton of work building and rebuilding after the races. He still enters it a couple times a year, but it looks more like a demolition derby car than a race car now.

    Hit me up with any questions about it, im still a bmw mechanic and know those cars well.

    390K on a K-Jet system. That's not supposed to be possible . . . . .
