I blame alcohol for one of those problems and logic for the other. Very Happy

Haha right on. Shouldnt be very under-powered either right. does it have 25 warning lights illuminated in the dash? lol

Yup. Brake lining light (borked sensor) oil service light and service interval light. Laughing

Moar pictars:

It's a '91 318iS (two less cylinders than Ian's but 20 more horses Laughing

). The M42 has a weird issue on hot-restart but seems to run fine after that and readily pulls to the redline.

Near as I can tell it's been owned by yuppies and the parents of young women all it's life so there is a fair bit of deferred maintenance, and both front corners have been smacked. Rolling Eyes

I ordered all the usual M42 suspects (timing chain tensioner, lower oil pan gasket) as well as the usual tune-up parts and new clutch hydraulics (squishy pedal). Hopefully all that will be here by next weekend and I can tear into this thing.

Of all people, I though you would steer clear of owning a German vehicle, lol.

The car didn't change him. He's changed the car. That's what you call, The Mountain Bimmer. By the end of the month he'll have glued a Banks Power emblem to it and tried to tow with it while having the trunk full of fire wood.

I'll donate the Banks stickers if you promise to put them on. I have several from my last truck.

Maybe a little lean but not much.

Ooo, fancy raceskidz skidplate. Those are pricey. You could make a duplicate and sell that one for 150 or so me thinks. And yeah, I'll have to get down there some time and mimic it.

Ian, what did you do about the crap E30 shifter linkage? I routinely miss second going both up and down. Pelican sells a kit for like a hundred bucks which seems like a bit considering it doesn't have any hardparts in it.

Also, this seems like a thing:
