Pics will be coming....uh, today! I've got some at home on the computer, just never uploaded them anywhere. I'll start a new thread with those. I've got an ImageStation account and I know how to post the pics from it elsewhere, so I'll post the link to the album and a few choice shots.
Oh, and I almost forgot. The car has a rebuilt head from BME with their performance option. I think that means it's ported/polished, pretty sure it's a stock cam, but I dunno since it was done by the 2nd owner. This was back at 241K on the clock. The motor smells like it's burning oil when you take it up past 3500rpm, so I'm thinking maybe the rings need to be done too.

thanks for the comments guys!!
jbob: i saw you list of mods and thought the same thing.
it is a good list!!
i would love to get the leda suspension like nick has but i will probably go with the ground control set up. i am not sure what struts though i would like to get something adjustable. what do you have in mind?
thanks for the link to the manual. those are still the 2.0 engine though. no worries though i am getting my manual here at college this weekend. :-)
>Jared<
slick car J !
nice to see you did most of the work yourself
Here's another running e21 to add to the list.
It s a 1982 323i
pretty much bone stock, except for enkei wheels, bbs, & bilstein.
Still screams like a raped ape.

nice 323! what's the name of ur car's color? kinda seems like a really dark gray....almost black.
yeah, glad to see ya over on bimmerforums...hahaha, i'm guessing u saw CJ's (Blitzed310) post on poadfly?

It's best appreciated up close. From a distance, the color is not so impressive.

I just happen to have this picture of my current dirt bike. 60rwhp, 232lbs Care to guess what this one is ?
I just found this forum, I've heard of it before but never tracked it down until today.
I bought a decent '82 320is last March. Check my website at http://myspot.neteze.com/~kdanielson to see the whole story and some tech stuff.
Here's the specs:
Engine:
1.8L block
2.0L crank/pistons
E21 casting head w/mild porting
272 deg. cam
New 2.5/2.25" exhaust
Volvo radiator
check my website for future plans
Chassis:
early vented disk brakes
stainless braided hoses
front strut brace
rear strut brace/battery holder
14x6 E30 wheels
205/60 Sumitomo htr 200 tires
Eibach sport springs
KYB struts/shocks
Body:
Henna red (arrest me red) will be changed in the future
310,000 mi.
Front bumper tuck (done right, not just drilled shocks)
needs new front spoiler, the original was broken in the center
cheap paint job-looks good from 20'
Interior:
UUC short shift w/carbon fiber shift nob
Pioneer CD player
A few cracks in the dash pad but I know a guy with 2 perfect pads in his garage for free!! but I've gotta take a bunch of other 320i stuff that I don't need...
Recaro seats, I don't like them much. Drivers side is pretty beat, passenger side is good. I'll replace them with aftermarket one of these days.
I have previously owned an '83 320i for 7 years and an e29 M5 for a year so I'm not new to BMWs.

Nice... Welcome to the Forum: Where exactly is Petaluma?
Hi Ken:
I got into your website and read up on your background. I must say, yours mirrors that of mine, almost too eerily. I dabbled with hot rods too, they were '69 nova-ss (396ci+TH400+3.73:1, then LT1+4sp+4.11:1), '68 malibu (LT1+4sp+4:56:1), V8 Vega wagon(LT1+P/glide+Monza3:73:1), '69z/28(302+4sp+4:11:1). I also inherited a VW bus-camper style. I used it to squeeze in 17 people in that camper and paid one price to a drive-in movie a few times.
I spent several years driving an '86 535i. So I can only imagine how much fun you've had w/ your M5.
WRT machinery, I have two mig hobbyist welders Hobart 175+Lincoln 135; Might be getting a commercial TIG next week. I design & program CNC sheetmetal parts in my former career. Bend allowance/deductions is nothing new to me.
I just scooped up a Dayton 20" drill press, tool chest, bench grinder, and some work tables at an auction yesterday. I got outbidded on a CNC Bridgeport vertical mill ... but had I won, I wouldn't have known where to put it, and how to feed 230v 3-phase to it. But I still want one, and today or tomorrow, I'm going to look at an empty commercial lot and see if this could hold a bridgeport. Maybe I'll go into business whittling out speed parts. Maybe I'll just end up with another useless tool.
I took a shot of what I brought home w/ me yesterday. Hope it uploads....
LOL, that trailer is bigger than your car, right there its proly heavier too!
heya, nice to see ya over here on bimmerforums ken.....ur website rocks!
Blitzed310,
Petaluma is about 45 mi. north of San Francisco on hy. 101.

Found this one up in Fort Worth, TX. Should make a good little buggy. Has triple down-draft webers on it right now and a close ratio dogleg 5 spd. Might do a newer heart transplant into it eventually...
Also have 2 e21 BAURs...One is a beater, but a pretty complete 323i , and the other is a pretty tricked out version....3.5l big six stuffed in it....
awesome! what body kit is that in the pic?
do u happen to be on tricord's forum too? there's a guy on there (also from texas...austin i think) who also has the m30 swap into his e21.
ooooooo, what's the heart transplant gonna be? s50/2? m30....s38??
Man there is a boat load of body work on that beast, hey more pictures please, tell us more about your 77 ...
Welcome to the forum ...
