First off check fuel presure, next make sure that the cold start injector is working, allways finger this item for no starts. These CIS (K-Jetronic) fuel systems rarely supply enough fuel to start the engine without the aid of the cold start injector. Next, crack open the fuel hoses at the fuel injectors and hold the air flow plate open with your finger while someone cranks the engine other wise it'll take all day, tighten injectors that spurt fuel one at a time to make sure that all air is purged from the lines. And make sure that the intake is free of leaks, any leak won't move the air plate enough and with the CIS injection, air flow = fuel. Check these and let me know what happens.

By the way, also make sure the warm up regulator is working.

Interesting use for a BMW motor, should power that suzuki samurai well. How did you get it to mate up to the trans?

How about this:

Too bad you can't find this kind of 325 anymore.

Damn, that's an interesting adaptation for a bmw motor. I've already printed out the pics and put them up in my office. It's great inspiration for when i get stuck on stuff...

Ah, the suzuki's T-case isn't bolted to the trans, forgot about that.
