Well my 84 350i has been at RTR for 4 weeks now terminally ill with a cracked liner,and the rear suspension in a sorry state.My 2 lurchers keep hangin round the garage doors waiting for there weekly blast round the countryside plus the rest of the village thinks its sold or they have gone deaf.Not so Richard tells me in two weeks the old girl will be up and kickin with a new 3.9 motor,recon g/box,rebuilt rear suspension,refurbed wheels,plus some improved stoppers,so if theres any cash left me and them dogs will be looking for a bit of autumn sunshine for cruisin.
Question is that 3.9 going to pop and snarl like the old un?

Mine also pops, bangs and gurgles like a good 'un. It calls for gratuitous use of throttle and back-off when near ladies or in car parks.... probably very bad for it, but enormous fun !
