  4. amazon.com .....lol....still doesn't let me thumb through to see what book is better.... I have seen so many of these manual all milked down with less and less information because they are trying to cover too many years and models....I can pick from several manuals online ...was just looking for what you guys are recommending as the "go to guide" ...thanks for the leads
  5. I went to all the parts stores here and not one manual for BMW 2002.... Knowing I will have to order one, I was hoping to find the best all around manual to start with. I am sure I will end up wanting to "get them all" but for now one of the better manuals will do fine.
  6. Where can I buy the best manual for my 2002.
  7. Send contact info to brettlindley@q.com thanks Brett

  14. what would this produce (hp) and is the reliability pushed beyond reason?.... i do have another m10 in a 1978 320i as well as a 5 speed sitting beside it .... was considering some kind of build as an option...just something about two extra holes makes me do the happy man "grunt"..... still have time .... suspension and general refresh first...thanks eurotrash
  15. thanks mooseheadm5 ..will email a pass to the guy that has it

Hi guys...newbie here... just bought my first 2002....been looking around at all the cool "mods" some of you guys are doing....the power plant ideas really capture my attention.... i am finding a few engines out there and am getting a bug to pump up the power in mine after i get the first phase completed.... so my question is....whats the best bang for buck swap?... what does and doesn't fit easy?...(i know there will be some fab....but don't want to destroy the option to return to the 2 liter someday).... so tell me wise ones .... what should i keep my eyes peeled for if i do decide to make this part of phase two 002
