ME109

M520i in abox

Recommended Posts

Hi, y'all, I bought aforementioned car a few years ago when eye lived in Invercargill NZ. Cost me $1000 & eye wanted it as a 2nd car coz eye was running up too many miles on a 96 commie, running out to Riverton & back daily.

Blew the head, actually siezed the water pump 1st. Got the commie back on rd. But oh the shame, 1986 plastics & such a harsh ride, couldn't believe I'd ever liked that car! Sew we goes & trades commie for nice '90 525, meanwhile having a brief fling with a '79 520, found it a good home, with anew devotee to the cause.

Moved to W.A, where it's hot, like 40 today! Basically dumped the 525, was a jap import with only 75,000 k's!

Got myself an e23 over here, big old 735i. bit rough, but it loves me, waited for me for a year at the car sales!

But anyway, only planning on being here for the off season, I takes the old bm with the broken head to a cylinder head specialist friend of mine who races drag cars, but not bmw's. & I've spent over $2000 on it, with the intention of giving it to my daughter as her first car! weel, she came over here, & she's almost 18. it's gonna cost $5000 to ship it over hair, then a radiator & onroad costs, an emotional, not entirely rational, definitely not economical plan.

So what the hell am I gonna do with it now? cant sea myself going back to NZ in a hury, if eye can kill the ME109 I'm gonna get me a 540. or a 750! Thats if I can kill it! it's giving me a fair run for my money ($3k) so far. prob cook it if anything, they dont like the heat.. ME109 cause thats what she sounds like, like a low flying plane!!

Anyway enough about me...

Suggestions for a new home for this car anyone? Project? parts? Pimp? Race car?

Will post some recent photos if poss.
