Well said - I've been driving 20 , then 30 and now 40 year old cars for that very reason. It's fun to have something different from the masses and I enjoy keeping an old classic well maintained and operating.

My boss asked me why I drive my car instead of something a little more modern, and I told him I like having that unique car that, when most people see it, they have some story to go along with it

I always can find my car in a parking lot, old people love it, they have a timeless look, parts are cheap to replace, and they just make me feel like a driver.

Plus that smell. Every BMW I've purchased, has had the same smell. Maybe something to do with the glue in the upholstery, but they all have that smell.

Almost ready! My painter has been out of town so He said I can bring by the valance next week and get it done. So Very soon!! Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have it all on and ready for you!

Really excited to see that MT1 kit put to good use!

Definitely, it's a shame.

I think I'm going to go back tomorrow and grab the other fender as well, the idiots at the lot propped the car up on it and I didn't have a jack.

Still lots of good parts on it as well before it goes to the crusher, if anyone is looking for something I could grab it for them..

If you had a chance can you grab the blue rear deck off it?

Long shot: anyone in Bellingham have a functioning MAF sensor for M10? Installed new cyl head and the coupe won't start. Getting fuel and spark, and timing is correct so my hypothesis is no air. (Flap on MAF is fine, not binding, spring is fine. I figure if I can install a MAF with a working sensor I will know if the issue is my sensor or my wiring.)

[5Toes]

did you check the plug wires on the cap? are you positive they are in the correct order?

I dont think the air flow meter is gonna cause a no start... does it even try to start or just cranks with zero pops or anything?

It wont cause a no start, it would start run like shit and die.

Basically you can unplug every sensor except the crank, and car will start at least, then die.

Think about what you posted though, you changed the head, and now the afm is bad? it didnt go bad sitting there. You have fiddle with however, wires, cap , rotor etc. So make sure all of that is installed correctly...

I believe a bad temp sensor to the dme will cause a no start as well, it's very easy to mix up the wires for the temp-dme and temp-gauge. Try checking those wires.

Are the cps and spark sensor wires switched? (I don't know if the m10 has identical plugs for these like the m20 does)

[bmwm42]

since when did the m10 have a crank sensor

Hahahahaha it's the little gear at the bottom of the orange thingy.

Anyone watch Roadkill on the morortrend channel? In a roadkill extra today freiburger said that a BMW LS swap may be a future show. Some fan asked him to do one.
