...and E12 M535 also, though that again might be a Europe only thing. An M90 has the same 3453 displacement as the 24 valve M88 engine (same block?) and has a few other differences from the 3430cc M30B34 which superseded it in the E24. Has a reputation for having a bit more grunt than the M30...

Think you could make a nice sideline putting those images on mugs and selling them... o_O To the OP, I wouldn't worry too much about changing colour. Fjord is a lovely blue, one of my faves. Golf would be my personal no.1

this is quite a thread resurrection! But I will just say that, even though I'm on the wrong side of the pond, Daniel Stern has ben my go to person for lighting advice for 15 years now. He advised me to upgrade the factory euro (RHD) lights on my E24 to Cibie CSR units. These same lights are now...

Yes, your proposed plumbing looks correct all round. On routing, the hose from 1 to 2 comes up between the two stub inlet manifolds. And the hose from 3 to 4 goes around the rear of the manifold, under the oil pressure sender/switch

What the chuff has Greta Thunberg got to do with Portuguese policies on importing cars?! I sympathise with Willem's dilemma, but I think the issue is not the EU bureaucracy making up arbitrary rules here, more the lack of reciprocal arrangements between Portuguese and Swiss governments. I don't...

Don't suppose you kept the charcoal canister and pipes did you? Would be interested in a retro of this on my car

Once you get the circlips out and the lock barrel itself is free, there are two metal plates which hold the springs and tumblers in the barrel. Go easy when removing the metal plates, catch the springs and carefully take the tumblers out, one at a time if possible

If the bits are there and still in one piece then it's fixable, but not easy. The cover piece is not attached by a hinge, but is only held in place by the spring that holds it shut. If you disassemble the lock it is possible to rebuild with spring and cover in place. But it might be the spring...

Pah, I was just about to agree with everything you said, as usual, and then you start dissing my E38 o_O . I did have to look hard, but here is a nice 7er, albeit one that is parked in a vegetable patch! Back on topic, I think 911s have come off the boil a bit over the past few years, on this...

Your car looks awesome, I wouldn't sweat it. My car has the spoiler. Not sure it was fitted in the factory, but was defo on the car by the early 80s. It does look to fit flush all the way across, but on closer inspection it's not hugely tidy! Let me know if you want any more shots, but as I...

Some info on my install. Gauges are from any old 90s Audi, cheap on eBay if you can cope with orange needles Oil pressure sender is VDO part 360081030008C, which has an electro-mechanical pressure sender and a 0.5 bar low pressure warning switch. It has the correct M12x1.5mm thread to be a...

that's the problem when you get there a bit late and have to park round the corner with those two-a-penny 2002 turbos!! ;) even rarer in RHD thanks Ramy for sharing photos, a grand day out

My own RoT is rust coming from underneath/ inside will always need to be cut out for a successful fix. This might be due to a moisture trap or inadequate protection on the inside surfaces of a previous repair. Rust which has come from the outside, ie a scratch or similar can usually be wire...

Gratuitous photo of my newly painted 20" Alpinas off my B12, closed lug! :)

I once bought a 1981 635csi as a breaker, a garage had fitted a 3430cc m30b34 h-gasket to a 3453cc m90 engine. This is why the car was a breaker!! Seller had symptoms of repeated overheating. I only realised why as I stripped the head off. Very messy, burnt sticky oil everywhere

I think Bosch 003 is the original d jet injector in BMWs. Mine are 003s and were rebuilt last year. And I think 043 is a direct swap out with 003s I used Mr Injector for the rebuild, not the most reassuring of trading names, but he was the only person I spoke to who knew anything about older EFI...

thanks Barry, found info on a 4-barrel carb manifold, which does look to have the same dimensions and layout as my odd parts. Not as esoteric as I was hoping for! Sounds like some E12 and E23 cars came with a 4-barrel Solex carb https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/m30-4-barrel-manifold.24596/...

Thanks Chris, yes I see it is a fuel pump spacer/ insulator. Like this from W&N https://www.wallothnesch.com/isolierflansch-fuer-benzinpumpe-wird-1x-pro-auto-benoetigt-13-13-00.html I don't know what the nozzle like addition is for though. I googled the part no. and I found one other image of...

This is not a what's it worth thread, I haven't even got that far. Whilst digging around in my stash of old parts, looking for gaskets and seals for a forum member doing some engine work, I re-found some mystery parts. These were all purchased by me as part of a garage clearance sale about 10...
