    Help in chasing a fuel pump/line leak

    Looking deeper at the options here. I suspect the second connection here--the cracked hose, right? I can get a 19-year-old to stand there and make sure with a faceful of gas, but...

    Help in chasing a fuel pump/line leak

    Yeah, it's a shower. Mine is injection. M30B34 engine out of a 535i. The restoration is about 10 years old...so the pump and hoses are in that age range. This was after a spirited ~300-mile weekend event, but the problem didn't start until it was parked overnight. I suspect a faulty pump/rings...

    Help in chasing a fuel pump/line leak

    So, this happened: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4OoFwB132Mk While my garage airs out, and before I stick my head up there, any armchair diagnosticians have an opinion on whether a fuel pump itself would leak this badly, or is this just a loose line? Thanks in advance...

    Help ID these center caps? And maybe locate one?

    Thanks, all. Taking the simplest route, I managed to "adapt" some current X5 caps from my local dealer ($17 each). They sit flush with the wheels, but good enough for now. I will keep my eyes open for some more, um, erect options in the future.

    Help ID these center caps? And maybe locate one?

    That's my fallback. Actually, there are aftermarket Chevy caps that are in the 63mm range, but they're flush with the edge of the hole. I'm holding out hope for something with some height, like the ones pictured.

    Help ID these center caps? And maybe locate one?

    So, my tire guys reshod my wheels today and returned one of them with a broken center cap, of course. So now I'm in the unfortunate position of trying to source what might be unobtainable. First, I need to figure out what these actually are, if the minds here can spot them for me. Help? These...

    Friend looking for a long hood 912 Targa

    I assume you've poked around the Pelican for-sale posts. There are several disast--I mean projects there right now.

    Never too soon to shop for Xmas….

    It's a shame I got a lampengitter from the kids last Christmas, or I'd be all over this.

    Optimal tire pressure for Pirelli CN36?

    Can you folks share advice on where you're sourcing this tire from? I may need a new set soon, and it looks like CN36s are a foreign object with my usual retailers... Thanks!

    NMNA: cool hot rod E30 'vert

    Ah, true. I was being US-centric. And this IS the same unit I was looking at last year.

    NMNA: cool hot rod E30 'vert

    Funny you should post this. I've had impure thoughts about exactly this conversion if I were to exit my coupe. In fact, I was in conversation last year with a NY guy who had an e30 vert with the same EOM componentry--the M3 vert that COULD have been factory. Here's a shot of that build (by a...

    Granatrot

    If he's so willing to light $5k on fire at BaT, it's hard to believe he's THAT price conscious. Or smart.

    This bums me out. Getting on a SFO-ORD plane Wednesday, otherwise I'd show up to represent the midwest. Pescadero on Monday, anyone?
