Sweetness in the Springtime (m42 content)

[Simon S]

My first video narration !!

Initial run-in after 1-1/2 year hibernation. Held great temperature and idle with no hesitations or stumbles. Wanted to get things to a stable, running condition before other project aspects are addressed. Super-happy with initial testing and how things are going at this stage. (yes – I sound like a goon)

A bunch yet to do..

I like this. I like this a lot.

Seeing your posts reminds me that I am not alone in being detail oriented...

Love how you take the time to pay attention to all the little stuff. Great work man

This is GREAT. I remember (and still do) read through your massive ZEN thread. So awesome to finally see this car humming along.

Just read through the entire first page of your massive thread...at work, lol. Makes me jealous I don't have the time, money or patience to pull of a restoration like that because I have basically the same car just in much worse condition.

Fucking gorgeous. There's no prouder moment then a super healthy running old BMW motor.

Man... Comparing the m42 to the m20, cosmetically, is like comparing Gary Sinise to John Malkovich in Of Mice and Men(no homo).
Such a sexy motor!

Looks great!
Nice and clean. Keep up the good work...
