introduction Hello From Waterloo, Ontario

[hassliche.entlein]

Hello everyone, (first post, yah!) congrats on a great site! I figure I'd introduce myself before diving into the countless threads and hours upon hours of reading ahead. With that said, I'm no stranger to BMW as I've had a few over the years i.e. 91' 318is, 98' MZ3, 02' 328ci and currently a 12' 135i. I was also a master tech w/BMW for the better part of 15yrs before joining the darkside of Mercedes Benz. Starting my career in the mid 80's, I remember the countless E21's, E24's and E28's, etc.. including the odd 2002 and E9 that rolled into the dealership. Now with a little bit of disposable cash I'm hoping to recapture a bit of my pass by restoring a 2002 Turbo replica using a M42/turbo setup. I know, I know it's been done before but heck... Why reinvent the wheel? It's a great lightweight combo. Wish me luck... and congrats again on a great site! UD

Hey, it's not about doing it again, it's about doing it well. 

 

The turbo 02, IMHO, is one of the top 10 coolest cars in the world.  You'll get sooo much satisfaction finishing a project like that.

 

Pat Allen in Quebec, a member here, has a Turbo.  I've never seen one myself, other than in pictures.

 

Welcome and have at 'er.

Lots of 02 owners in Southern Ontario. And you're lucky to have Restoration Design close to you in Guelph.
