Is there a # of BMWs one must own at the same time for it to be classified as an addiction? Financial suicide, yes . Addiction, suggests an involuntary action. We know what we are doing. We just call them spare parts, summer cars, winter beaters etc... I have 7 so, your good. suspenceful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a problem when it's a project more than it's driven. suspenceful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted March 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Well according to some of you guys, I definitely have an addiction then lol. I ran out of room at my house so I brought my F80 to my parents house. And I have two 135i's that don't run, and one 335i that barely limps along. The F80 and my other E90 are my only working BMWs 😆 I'm glad I have a good support system here though, fellow BMW owners who can relate and encourage me to keep being irresponsible. Anyways, I got a DME, CAS, JBE and key from a part out to get this 135i back together. I also pulled the cluster and powered it up externally to see if it really had 11k miles, then tried firing the old girl up after sitting for years. Couldn't get her to kick over on her own, but she did after I dumped a little fuel down the intake. If anyone has ideas on what I could do to get this thing to fire up under it's own power, please let me know.

damnboy037 Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 I hope the restoration goes well, I have been looking at these and even the low mileage ones are not very expensive suspenceful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on what you consider expensive. The prices for these things seems to be all of the place, but they're such great cars. damnboy037 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 We finally got her to start on her own! Embarrassingly, it only needed some more fuel. Apparently, the gallon and a half we initially added wasn't enough to make its way into the pump, the tank must've been completely dry. It had a grumpy start after hibernating for so long, but we couldn't believe how well we ended up getting it running! Unfortunately, the transmission left us stuck in the garage, but we're going to add some fluid and see if it'll make it down the road. damnboy037 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted April 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 We finally got her on the road! Didn't go quite as expected though lol. Can't wait for the next stage in this build... Jdesign, damnboy037 and REKIII 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
