congrats. saw your post on e9coupe the other day. Didnt post a response there so let me take a second now to say welcome to the club. I have a 73 coupe, triple webers, alpinas, 5 speed box, bilsteins / h&r's... etc etc etc. Ive been working on it for a little over a year and have most of the major resto stuff done... just finished the interior and now i only need paint... which i'll be doing when it warms up. Not doing a concourse resto, just a really nice driver. Thats one heck of a car you got there.... wish i had the airdam! As i'm sure you know by now, the coupe is a completely different beast from most other bmw's. And with the mods you already have, i'm sure its gonna be a hoot to drive. what FI system are you running? Ive thought about going injection but cant seem to get enough of the look, sound (and smell)... and performance of the webers. My car spent a good amount of time at Lajolla Ind. before i found it and so too has a euro transplant... a euro e24 (82 or 83). Anyway, enough for now. Congrats and enjoy!
Thanks a lot. My car is also not a concours car by any means. Its a very very nice sunny day driver. I honestly wouldn't want one much nicer, I plan on driving this thing every day that the sun is out. I'm not sure what injection system it is, whatever motronic setup that was used in 85. Thanks for the warm welcome!

I had a 73 that I fitted with a B35 and M1.3. It was a hoot.
I bet it was really similar to mine. I think the MM motor is rated at 260 horse but from what I've read, their numbers are often inflated. Whatever it is, I like it... a lot.
