Hi!
I just bought an '82 BMW 320i which has has been Turbo'ed.
I don't know much about cars, this is my first one.
The car hasn't been run for about 15 years! I haven't been able to talk to the previous owner (he is very far away), so I don't know all of the exact changes he has made to it (he is trustworthy, we are related). I think he put a sound system in it in 1985 :/

Anyways, we have to put in a new battery, change sparkplugs, and change two fuel pumps to make it work, so says the mechanic.
One more problem with it, is that the left side speakers aren't working, not sure what to do.
Another question is that, inside the glove box, there is an added metal switch which has two options, either Valet or Passive. I have no idea what these do or mean, neither does the mechanic. Anyone help? I think he raced this car (it's bright red

)
Thank you for your help, bye

PS: Does anyone know any good car sites where I could get more help/info? Either specifically for my BMW or more general? Thanks.
