That's TOO sweet!
How did you acquire it? I wish I could help you, but just do whatever needs to be done! Don't give up on it!

Ahh see I learn something newDid you check the compression? ... Check the timing on the injection pump. Also check the valve adjustment and the timing chain....
Forgive me if you know this stuff already - I don't know your situation.
Thanks! I see- I guess I will just check out the head and injector pump first, although I would not mind taking the engine apart- it would be something nice to learn from, and then having a new engine to break in on my own and stuff.Firstly, nice car!
The M616 was a strong engine and unless it's extremely high mileage you may get away with just some head work like renewing the valve seals.
Ahh yeah thats what I plan on doing the complete projectUnless it is just the head, If I can get the smoke down with out doing major work, I may just run around with it like that for a while.
I have 2 friends that live in Cold Spring Harbor actually, and their almost 17- maybe your son knows them haha. Very nice area! That is cool that he drives a 76 240D when most kids have brand new BMWs-bahh! When it's all done I'll have to take a ride out there. That pic that you see is when the car wasnt washed yet, I washed it with special wax and it brought out more of the color, I will take some interior pics for you guys, You would like the german writings and such. The one thing I love soo much about the car is that everything in it is very simple, just your basics. No PS no AC no Power Windows, and under the hood- no spark plug wires, and so on [] Thanks for all the great comments! now I feel better about having the car.
