1. it's my daily driver....don't be confused by
modern improvements because they are just making up
for cheapening elsewhere. Airbags are used now because
the current car bodies are made of styrofoam and the
bumper, well it's basically a joke today. An
average accident would be less damaging to an
E12 than today's disposable wheels.
2. I upgraded my drive from later car (84 S-10)
3. sorry, not familiar with snow...heard about it in books
4. I prefer the shop manual...more comprehensive
if you like details. I have an original 77 manual
(blue book) and recently purchased a photocopied
all E12 factory manual ($125)- see http://www.bimmerparts.net/
