Your wheels are BMW e12 6x14" turbines. It says 6x14 in the center even if you don't want to believe us. They have the same amount of spokes as the Alpina 7x14" wheel, but that's where the similarities ends. The spokes are formed different, the part where the spokes meet the center are...

Great, what synchrometer are you using?

Negative camber plates helps alot as well.

Rick, thanks for posting this. Last summer we ended up locking the clutch with a bolt because we had some slight overheating problems on the e3 and we tracked it down to the clutch not engaging quite enough, or at least we had no problems after locking the clutch with a bolt. After reading your...

From my experience, when a starter goes bad, it usually doesn't just "die". It dies by turning over slower - and slower - over a long period of time - until it doesn't turn the engine fast enough to start anymore. Replacing starters is common on the BMW M57 diesels (3.0L, straight 6, compression...

Contact @daddywad here on the forum, he makes them.

This was my case as well when I tried to come up with an agreed valuation. They had no clue what an E9 was, and I had to provide ALL the information to them to prove the value. In the end they agreed to the value I had in mind (70k€) but the price for the insurance was ridiculous, after all, the...

Hi guys, Does anyone have a pair of these lying around? Would prefer to buy in Europe if possible.

This is the axial play numbers for the M30B28/B30, don't know if it's the same play on a B35.

Of course, if that's what they want. Great progress Barney!

I think a CSL sub-forum where owners, experts (while there still are some around) and new people looking to buy a CSL could have easy-to-find information and discussions is a great idea. Anyone afraid of missing out should start using the "new posts" button, I never navigate through the list...

You should buy the sr-444 starter, just to rule out if your current starter is okay or not. I can promise you that the compression isn't the problem, it's definitely something else. A stock everyday euro M30B34 has 10:1, your engine is at 11:1, I hope you understand that 11:1 isn't radical in...

@Keshav 's car and picture:

Thanks guys! When I was out and about with the car today I happened upon a summer cottage neighbor who was out looking after his place so that the water pipes wasn't freezing and whatnot. He's really into classic cars as well, so he mentioned he had a set of 14" wheels with winter tyres that...

It was cold but very nice outside today, perfect opportunity for a short drive and some pictures.

A good starter can bend a rod in a hydrolock situation, so it can for sure handle a "little" compression.

I don't think they are ugly at all, but it's matter of taste I guess.

Did you come to any conclusion on the uneven wear on the timing chain? Well done on the drilling and tapping!
