    My $300 winter project

    I dont think ive ever shared more than a single photo of the car.. Anyways I'm the 3rd owner, 141k 1984 318i. The cars been sitting for a while and is nasty on the outside but all it needs is a nice wash/wax and we'll call her good.. Purchased the car for a total of $300, the catch is it wont run for more than about 15 seconds.. Runs super super rich... Other than that the car is in great condition.

    Phase 1

    Phase 2 no more nasty 17's/towed home












    For now i'm just planning on getting it runing and enjoying the good gas mileage, possible swap a LSD and disc rear...Eventually i'm planning on turning this into a drift car or weekend warrior atleast...totally G'd up of course!

    Good catch. Try unplugging the TPS sensor to make it run. If not look at the afm and the fpr.

                    Replicas of what ?

                    The real Breyton pieces ?
                    Or replicas of the BMP design that they stole from Breyton ? :)

                    Look to be the BMP versions and not copies of the BMP .

                              yeah well turbo does things like turn worthless boat anchors into street demons, why do you think so many people are into Honda's?

                              I remember you telling me about this good to see that its finally seeing some action. I can't believe you are taking it to SMS after all the shit that's happened with you, josh, and Blake. I am in town and bored if you ever need a hand with diag or just somebody to turn a wrench...
