I'm in the military currently stationed in Germany (my second time here) and just picked me up a 1990 520i M20. I've been into cars for a while but never really got into bimmers...i have a lot to learn.
this is a really sweet ride, it has about 102000 miles.....(170k km...)
looking to soon take care of the slight oil leak and then get a quick tune up done (the usual "i just got a new used car" routine....you know the one :)) and then a little later on down the road work on suspension upgrades and whatever else.....
i've been reading the board for about half a day now....and plan on searching a lot more....but if anyone wants to say "hi" back and add a word or two about the M20 engine, things to look out for, etc etc that would be great too. :) pics to come soon, she's in beautiful shape...as i understand from my quick reading today, the 520i M20 was not realeased in america at least in 1990 it wasn't....so hopefully i can swap this to US specs eventually and ship her back home with me when it's time to go back to the states in 4 years....the car is black but it's more of like a charcoal/gunmetal grey shade of black....love it. :)
anyway, that's it....see you around the board..
