Heres sophia, my 1975 bmw 2002. I got her after my cousin got an earlier round tail 2002 and had no use for this one.. so i happily bought it from my uncle and have not regretted it since.

She's rough now, but I plan to do alot of work on her including a turbo - intercooler set up.

Check pg 7 for summer restoration!!!!!

Came to my senses and ditched the CIS injection in favor of megasquirt. I'll be running a v2.2 board alond with msne for for edis ignition control. Currently I'm working on making my itbs. I also replaced the rims on my car a couple weeks ago with 320is wheels and yokohoma avid t4s heres some pics of the wheels (go to the engine page for the itb project)

Compliling parts for CIS Injection. I hope to also run ITBs. As for paint I'm right now into a metallic silver type color.. if only I had more money.

Made a junkyard run today and I was lucky enough to find a 320is steering wheel to replace the old one. I've also had the instrument panel replaced with a black one from and earlier 2002, it looks very nice in my opinion. Currently sophia is having an overheating problem, the radiator seems to drain water like cray, so I'm taking it to my uncle's place to check it, I've been told it might be the freeze plug. I also mihgt need to replace the water pump as the car has been sitting for a long time. I'll post new pictures once I get a new camera, I think my old one broke. Any suggestions on a new digital camera?

I've been slowly working on the fuel injection set up. The current plan is to do a K jetronic (CIS) fuel injection conversion while using my itbs. Curently I am in the middle of building my adaptor plate for the itbs and the air box that will go on them. I am hoping to have fuel injection by end of spring break.. lets hope all goes well!
