79 BMW 320i

NMNA.

Bad karma, or bad luck? "needs fuel pump . it was off soaking and my mechanic died".

I think I would have left that detail out of the listing...

(can't hot link at work apparently)

Doesn't run and has more rust than mine........$3-400 should buy that, but the guy is probably smoking crack in Toledo anyways.

On a side note, after seeing that, I think I'll be taking my diving board bumpers off.......the front looks better without it.

interesting that it has e30 wheels on the FRONT, which suggests that it has wheel spacers since bottlecaps supposedly don't fit over the brakes up front. When I towed mine home I had to put the e21 steelies on the front and the e30 wheels on the back for them to fit.....

kind of interested in what that big box in the backseat is. With good interior, car could be worth $500 or so.

And Yamaha....yeah, I'm definitely pulling the diving boards off mine too :)

Man, I worked on an E46 last week with more rust than that.

Incidentally, someone will need to tell me in no uncertain terms why I don't want a E46 3nnix wagon. Working on the buggers isn't even enough to dissuade me...

Likey

In reply to Knurled: I wouldn't turn anyone away from an e46 wagon.......

I'd suggest I could check it out for someone, but it looks to be in that giant toilet we local'ers call the East Side. I don't consort with '05ers.

That particular car has neat look to it. For a racecar, it looks fine. Street car= Money pit

The M10 is super easy to work on

In reply to crankwalk:

I finally figured out how to adjust my idle and enrichment on the '77 The engine itself is a cakewalk. The MFI setup, not so much....

This is exactly why I don't go to the "big" cities alone to look at cars, namely Detroit and Toledo.

I don't want what happened to his mechanic to happen to me!

By the by, did these engines use the Solex carbs?

I have one in my basement that is free to a good home if someone wants to pay shipping.

It came on my MG (long story).

I believe so, though I had a Weber 32/36 on my 02 for as long as I had it. It seems like that is the go to aftermarket carb for them.

Only the early car were carb, IIRC everything after 77 was mechanical fuel injection.

It'll have Bosch CIS (k Jet). Switching to a Weber is basically swapping in a 2002 intake manifold and adding a Carter fuel pump.

the price on the 320's is climbing fast. this does not seem like a bad deal. i remember sub 1k 320's were everywhere now trying to find a sub 2k is hard and many nice ones are pushing 5k now

78+ are EFI or carb(IIRC)
