OK,

It has been years since I have had time to play with my cars and now I am thinking of getting back into it.

I have a 1978 320i sitting in my garage. I parked it there 8 years ago when the clutch started slipping. Now I am considering putting it back into factory original shape or maybe *dreaming* building a sleeper monster to go embarass M3's.

I saw one in Toronto once. I think it had an old 2.8 or 3.0 six cyl. that had been turbo'ed. The suspension was done and fenders gently flared for monster rubber. Got a woody just remembering it.

Seems like NO ONE plays with the 320's though and I don't know where to start. Any ideas? Suggestions turbo vs blown? Engine choices? It is an open slate right now.

Thoughts? Web Pages? uncontrolled laughter?

Laughter, NO WAY!, woody?, well.......I LOVE our '80 320iS [restored], stock rebuilt engine, springs, shocks, 15" Zenders, 205/50 S-03's, custom redone interior & Boxter Yellow paint, I'll post a pic. one of these days......START lookin' for a totaled E36 M3!.....it'll take some work, but the small 6 cyl's were availible in Europe in E21's for years, and your finished car will be lighter than an E36 ! Keep us posted...............................jeffb.
