This beautiful Polaris 1972 BMW 2002tii is my first car and I am only 14 years old! This was an early christmas present and was bought on Nov. 2, 2003.
Ever since I was about 7 or 8 years old me and my dad would ride our bikes and I would always see it. From the first time I saw it I fell in love and would ask my dad to put a note on it that we wanted to buy it. In 2002 we finally put a note on it but the guy said that he wouldnt sell it. Later in my freshman year of high school my mom said she saw a 2002 for sale and it was the same one I had seen when i was little so we went to see it. During the test drive my dad just barly pushed it and man did go. We bought it and I have been doing stuff ever since. The best part was that the car had lot of performance parts.

and he is throwing in a set of side draft carbs!! Also throwing in a new Headliner, and some more stuff.

So I go and see it today and he wasnt there. He left the keys there and sad if I could start it I could take it. (It hadnt been sarted in 3 months). So we brought lots of tools and new spark plugs. so we pop the hood and change the plugs. Then we jumped the battery. We tried starting it and it wouldnt start. And after about 10 min. it sarted but it would die if you didnt rev it up. We drove the car back and it felt like it was missing a cylinder. I was kind of upset but the car was still cool. So we checked the wires and No. 2 wasnt working. We got another wire we had from the range rover and started it up. Man it ran perfect! And we took it for a spin, this thing KICKS BUTT!!!!

And just on Sunday, the day after i came from Bimmerfest I got my m20 swap and some dual Sidedrafts!!!! I got the engine, all wireing, computer, all new gaskets, a brand new oil cooler, I brand new cluch kit with the pressure plate that are still in the box, the tranny, Drive shatft, brand new radiator, new hoses, and soo much more. Not to mention i got the whole setup for sidedrafts. here are some pics. I am going to need someone to set them up because i heard they are really hard.

Here i am wih the engine in the air with the hoist i just got
M20 BAYBE!!
