your car looks very nice. I had a 72 220d and a 74 240d. the second car came from california and was pristine like yours.

they are very simple cars to run and maintain. No computers or such silliness. I recommend the Haynes for the 123 diesels which will help for many of the mechanical things. I also have a cd that my indie got for me someplace, and an ancient Chilton's from about 1970. Between the three we were always able to find what we needed.

Feel free to pm me if you have questions for my books.
