Ok, well. Heres the deal. I just picked up a '77 320i that been sitting in a garage for almost 10 years, and has 130k on it. The car is stocked with bilstein sports and eibach springs, as well as some Ronal wheels on it wrapped in some high class italian tires that hug like no other (didnt catch the brand). Its that dark green, 4-speed, perfect interior.

Only real problem is that 1st gear is starting to go. It still works, but its kinda loud... but they guys a mechanic and he said he'd throw another tranny in the trunk. Good deal.

Best part was the price.. 1100 bucks. Booya.

Anyways, ive been thinkin of forced induction, it being my second e21 and already has the suspension to hold it to the road. But id love to get some ideas on turbos (or superchargers?). So lets hear some oppinions maybe? :D

Look closely at the tires. are they Pirelli? If so new techonlogy is out, and tires are a lot better now. I still like my Pirelli's that are on my 323i.

Forced induction - I like better than supercharging for our cars.

supercharging is technically forced induction, you mean that you prefer turbocharging I assume.
