Just woundering what type of BMW do you have?
I have a 325es 1986, with over 200k+ miles on it. I'm thinking of restoring it.

Re: Type of BMW u have?
Sat, January 14, 2006 - 7:08 PM88 Black 535i with 273,500 miles. She's an incredible ride, although a larger car than my first BMWs (71 Red 2002, then an 85 325e).
I can't imagine driving anything else. :)

Re: Type of BMW u have?
Fri, March 5, 2004 - 6:21 PM'92 525 Touring ~ 160k. My kid drove it without water and cracked the head, but having synthetic oil in it saved the engine; I put some stuff in the radiator so it doesn't leak water into the cylinders anymore. She's a little fragile (the car, not the kid), but I love her (both of them). -

Fri, March 5, 2004 - 6:53 PMI would love to have a 1977 BMW 2002. Those cars are like little race cars. Does anyone have any experence with these? -
-
Re: Type of BMW u have?
Fri, March 5, 2004 - 10:13 PM2002s were made from 1968 to 1976. There is no 1977 2002. That said, I once owned a 1971 2002. It's very rough and crude compared to the current BMWs, but it has that "feel" BMWs are known for. With some minor mods, it was a great handling car, and very easy to drive. Mine had a 4 speed. Lots of glass so it was easy to see out of. They tended to be rust buckets, and mine developed the typical rust in the rear shock towers. I traded mine in for a 1978 320i years later... -

Re: Type of BMW u have?
Mon, November 27, 2006 - 10:30 AMI've got a '71 2002 right now. She handles like a dream. If you want one, make sure to get pre-'74, since you won't have to deal with smog inspections, and the tail-lights went square in '74 (the roundies are cooler). Oh, and you should be able to pick one up in pretty good condition for about $4000.

Re: Type of BMW u have?
Wed, May 12, 2004 - 11:45 AMYeah well they did not make 2002's in 77, 1976 was the last year and they were good ones, but I have a round tail light 1971 and they are the sweetest ones. The roundies were made from 1968 to 1973, and are the most collectable, with the added benefit of easier to work own due to less emission controls to deal with and added on safety equipt. Good luck and if I can answer any questions for you let me know, I have owned mine for over 8 years and do all the work to it including the restoration, myself....cj. -

Re: Type of BMW u have?
Wed, July 21, 2004 - 1:51 PMI have a maroon 1975 2002. It only has 93K original miles on it. The strut wells are all solid, but I am getting some decay on the lower body side. Riccaro seats, pioneer stereo and a sun roof. Man I love the sound my engine makes at 70Mph, it's like it is singing.
I don't drive it much, it is parked in the garage, the tags are going to expire end of july, (boo hoo).
I do all the work on my car, but damn, I'm starting to have a hard time finding parts. Anyone have a lead on that?

Re: Type of BMW u have?
Wed, April 14, 2004 - 5:16 PMdid you do any testing before/after you popped the K&N in? ive been told by a number of bimmer mechs that it actually decreases the HP by 5-15. (i was going to do the same, but got discouraged.) -
-
Re: Type of BMW u have?
Thu, April 15, 2004 - 9:02 PMI feel a much snappier throttle response and it feels like the power 'turns on' faster. Plus it sounds GREAT!
I can't imagine someone discouraging you from putting a K&N on. If nothing else, it gives you much more superior filtering capabilities, which will make your engine last longer. You can get way better air flow through the engine - that means more power. -
-
Re: Type of BMW u have?
Tue, April 20, 2004 - 4:50 AMi suppose there are arguments for and against it. heres one of the sites i read that had a stock vs K&N filter debate:
www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Up..._filter.htm
you know your car better than i do (i would hope!), so i wouldnt worry, your filter upgrade is likely fine. for me, though, the fact that a debate even exists was enough to keep me from messing with it. if i really feel the need for power, ill install a racing chip. :-)

Mine is a 99 Titanium Silver M3 Coupe with 67,000 miles on it.
Parts that have started to or have a reputation for early failure such as the guibo, rear shock mounts, shifter pivot bushing, shocks and struts have been or will be changed for better ones if available.
I love this car!

Re: Type of BMW u have?
Mon, October 11, 2004 - 11:34 AMI just got my hands on a 1993 525i with a great engine but in need of some love aesthetically. The interior is in a bad way, but the outside looks great. It's in the shop til tonight getting new struts and shocks. I've already taken a look at Bav Auto's website, but it needs new leather and a new driver's seat. Whoever had it before was a fat fuck. We'll just leave it at that. Any ideas on where to start on the seat and the leather? Also, I'm thinking of replacing the door cards in the dark gray. The interior is the three tone: light and dark gray with the burlwood. All things considered, I think I got a pretty good deal. -
