I have put much more money into my 76 than it is worth but it works for me everytime I crank it up and take it for a spin. My car was not perfect when purchased but every time I take a step to restore it to that condition I am rewarded with the pleasure of discovering what it must have been like to own a showroom new machine. A new set of Biltiens and well balanced rubber is quite a treat. Hand setting the valves dead-on, a fresh set of plugs and wires for that crisp, linear power. It just keeps calling me to discover more, therefore I spend. I dont mind it, the real worth of the car is in the pleasure I get. Matty 76 530i and soon to have Joe Hans beautiful 77 530ia.
