I'm sure both systems works very well, it's just diffucult to hang a bottle over the brake fluid reservoir on some cars as the hood and hood hinge is usually right next to the reservoir cap. In the case of an e3/e9 it's not a problem as you show us. Didn't mean to go offtopic, sorry.

Sometimes it's full to the brim, but not always for some reason. Since I replace my brake fluid in all my cars every second year, I need to bleed out alot when I do it. To capture the brake fluid at each corner/caliper I bought the same style vacuum pump as @deQuincey uses, but I use it without...

Yes, regular brake fluid is cheap so after using the bleeder you'll have some excess fluid that you'll have to get rid of. I always empty it completely after use, and the next time I need it I fill it with brand new fluid and push out all the old fluid that was stuck/left in the hose since last...

Absolutely agree, tried one once and after that I just had to buy one (they're relatively cheap). I have the version that you can put about 1L of brake fluid into, then apply pressure and then you can bleed out alot before refilling. Works perfect when you're alone in the garage and so far I've...

I've heard rumors of the "cash" you're talking about, mostly we use squirrel pelts to pay for goods. You can send squirrel pelts in the mail, or by carrier pigeons I should say, but only one pelt/pigeon. I've never even heard of credit cards!

I noticed that as well but I'm not sure, couldn't find more than one other picture to compare to.

Anyone seen these plastic caps on top of hex m8 nuts on an e3 before?

@coalboy no comment?

Yes, gently close the hood, then you pull the hood release arm to latch, at least that's how I do it.

I installed a Gree mini-split at my parents cabin, most of the mini-splits here have the gas pre-filled in the outdoor unit, so all I needed was to borrow a vacuum pump, a flare tool (as I wanted to shorten the lines) and then youtube as help along the way, I also did the electrical part myself...

I run -40mm BMW e12 H&R springs on my coupe in the front, but some unknown brand in the rear. If I were to buy new springs right now, I think I would buy this set which is exactly what you're looking for (H&R progressive)...

+1 on everything Steve wrote, Wladek is extremely skilled and very helpful, he's made me two spacers and I also sent him my Petri for a leather wrap and I've also bought another steering wheel from him + other stuff. Always a pleasure, thank you Wladek!

At least my driveshaft has one marking on each half (a dot, if I remember correctly), these marks/dots should line up against each other.

I'll take it if @OCCoupe passes.

Thanks! :D

Yes I have a pair of early Scheel 400's in my coupe, these look very much like mine based on the pictures. Comfortable, sporty and period correct, I really like them.

It's for the door, see pic:

In case the bushings melt, I know for a fact that having a solid mount doesn't create any vibrations or problems. (The metal plate has a threaded hole, and a lock nut on top.)

I might be wrong, but I think CS use a 264 degree cam, and the CSi use a 272 degree cam, same amount of lift.
