I've had my 1983 320i (e21) for about a month. I traded my Nikon D50 for it.

Anyway.. its in mint condition.. baby'd by its previous owner (mom)... she replaced alot of stuff on it.. its all "stock".. but brand new old parts.. if you know what i mean...

Anyway.. I'm looking to mod it more to my liking. I like the classy/old feel to it.. but I'd like some newer options, such as power windows/sunroof/locks.. keyless entry.. thats just interior crap though. id like a different body kit.. maybe lower it a bit (suspension work).. and im big into speed (have a 06 gsxr 750) so i'd like, eventually, to swap the engine. maybe some initial work for now to make me happy till i can afford to swap engines.. s14 looks like fun.. but again, im not a car buff.. im a software engineering major.. i know about electronics and such (mostly)..

anyway, any direction/help/all that would be greatly appreciated! ill be taking more pictures of the interior (its so clean.. no cracks in the ORIGINAL leather/seats/all that.)

oh.. jettronic is the... what is it? its in the glove box.. looks like some kind of CPU unit to something.. im assuming.. that oxygen sensor on the dash? or something to do with the fuel pump (i googled jettronic)..

and under my steering wheel is an "AUTOSAFE" box.. it has a single switch, im assuming on/off.. and a little hole.. maybe an LED in there? but it doesnt seem to do anything.. thoughts? the wires extend from the back of it to behind my center console.. im going to have to go in and figure out what it does.. wondering if yall have a quick answer to that though.
