Thank you Dave!

Im sure the hassles will be well worth the grins in the end - a classic is always worth it :-)

I love pre-2000 German sedans in black. I’ve had a few Mercedes over the years and have a nice 1997 C-230 that I’ve loved.

Recently I’ve purchased a 1997 BMW - my first one. Much research have led me to believe the pre-vanos 4.4 litre engine with 282 bhp and 320 ft.lbs. Of torque is the one to get if you are planning on keeping it. I’ve watched 5345 YouTube videos and am ready to begin the fixes I’m able to and farming out the suspension repairs (ball joints, A arms, connecting rods, bushings etc...)

Please feel free to offer any advice - drivetrain is strong but high km.

a love affair or a femme fatale?

stay tuned
