i dunno if i asked, but is it carbed or fuel injected? Not too many people were injecting cars back in 82, but maybe BMW was...

I dont know much more than the basics of carbs, but if it was fuel injected, chances are that it was stored with fuel in the lines, and are all clogged up. Has he checked the fuel pressure going into the carb or fuel rail? if thats good, you might wanna think about having him run some GOOD fuel injector cleaner through there. Or if he knows his way around a carb, or if your willing to learn (not too complicated), you might wanna think about a carb rebuild.

But then again, i've got no real idea what going on with it...just something to think about.
