Project: 1983 BMW 320is

wierd last time i got one done. i just filled out the form and left, they called me back after about 30 mins and i returned to get a title. this will not work if there was a lein on title unless you can get a release from bank. this was a couple years ago. but i just talked to marty and he just used the same procedure as me with success. no apraisal or any of that.

Hman, what method did you use? I got my info from the SOS so I assumed it was right.

theres a form at the sos you fill out. it asks you to explain how you got the vehicle and from who and how much. you fill it out and leave with me they called within 1/2 hr, but with marty they just told him to come back in a hr. when we came back we were able to apply for title.

Oh ok, I have that form, it just says on it that you have to have a nada type value, or a dealer appraisal. But I am going to give this a shot soon enough anyway.

any more updates on this? all i know is i wanna buy the body!!!! lol

Yeah? If it had a tittle I might consider it. I will get into contact if I decide. Things have gotten out of hand here with time consuming projects and stuff at home. What did you have in mind? Engine swap?

yeah lookin for something different for a spring project

I'll keep ya in mind, as i see what happens time wise.

Just adding some info here, trans is apart and so is engine, making the best combo of the engines I have. To be honest, think I am going carbed on this one for ease. I have been spending an hour a night or so on it. Now I have to buy gaskets for it and get it all back together and ready to go in.

awesome to hear!!! looks like we will be rockin the oldest rides next year i hope

post pics!

Wish I had time to work on this thing ;(. Finishing the basement now, maybe over winter? Or trade/sell?

Love those bmws!! Can't wait to see this thing on the streets!

Yeah. Hoping to get it shaped up over the winter.

you ever get the title thing done? Its funny that NADA prices things so high. they say a low priced 92 Beretta is worth a lot more than my 98 Volkswagen so I wouldn't trust it at all lol

Got that intake manifold on the way with a carb, yeah I said carb. Also gonna sell off a few things so I can get all the bits and pieces to get this bitch runnin'

Yay. I want an e30 bad. Is 83 e29? Not too hip with the BMW lingo

The numbering is not something that makes sense. You just have to do research. Mine is an e21. There isnt much out there in terms of suspension and such, hopefully now that raceland makes e30 they can do e21

Thing is race lands just looks like the sleeves you get from an eBay kit springs and shocks. With like drop in insert shocks? The other kits from other companies come spindle and all

I mean for what its worth they are pretty good. The only benefit is they may have shortened the strut housings

I just watch a video on doing that lol BMW has weirder suspension than Volkswagen lol funny thing is I'm pretty sure I have a BMW roof rack in the back seat of my VW that I bought for the bike holders

Parts shipped today. Gonna sell some of the stuff I dont need and get some stuff that I do need. Gotta sell the boat and get a BMW daily and get this bitch going.

This thread lacks pictures! As far as I know this car doesn't exist!
