You’re welcome! Best of luck with your auction - I know I’ve told my friend who has been considering a coupe for too many years to put in a bid on your car. Thinking further on this, I wonder if BAT could add some type of reputation flair/badge like reddit has for subreddit experts. As most...

Below are some threads about the lead weights. I had always assumed they were to add weight to the back side of the handle so that the chrome door pull retracted all the way back to align with the beltline trim? https://www.e9coupe.com/forum/threads/lead-weight-in-door.20167/#post-145149

Does anyone know if the CSL’s had that strange lead weight inside the door behind the door handles? I removed mine years ago from my CSI and found no difference.

So... I didn't pass inspection, but that was no surprise, they're quite tough on Oldtimers here, expecting them to be "perfect", which means better than new. Let's face it, these cars always leaked oil! I don't think they pass any Oldtimer without sending you off with "homework"! I was so...

Yeah, building an EV on a thin budget gets really heavy real quick. Not that I am made of money, but by using Tesla drive unit and Tesla batteries- which are expensive but known to be extremely efficient for their weight- you basically are using their proven formula for long range in a modest...

OK, will give a little tour ... it's a steel 50 feet sailboat with 2 Ford New Holland 100HP engines ( as in the tractors) Mast is 21.5 m above deck , stepped on the keel , boom is 6.5 m Weight 29 ton, of which 9 ton lead ballast in keel , rest is approx 2000 l diesel 1000 l water in 2 tanks...

This is a good point. Battery weight should be on the left side or split evenly...So confused.

One of the details which I now notice has been omitted is the fuel return system required of a fuel injection system. Running a line from the end of the injector fuel log back to the tank is a fairly straightforward task but the stock fuel pick up insert in the tank does not allow for the return...

Is it the lead used by Karmann to straighten the bodywork? :-P Seriously, I can account for some but 200 lbs? The E3 and E9 were built in entirely different factories. Could it be heavier gauge steel involved in its production? The rear window systems are indeed heavy. The wood trim over the...

Thanks CHris. Despite the fact that I called it a "lead weight", I don't know why I didn't use those words to search.

...closing so I decided today was the day to look into it. Most of the offending sound was fixed by adjusting a guide rail, but I did find a lead weight at the bottom of the door. As you can see in the photo it is about 4.5" long and has a disintegrating fiber pad on one side. I assume this...

Continued this weekend, all sheetmetal work are now done. Finally! Maybe not so exiting photos, but better than nothing;) Right front fender completely welded in place. Lower front panel welded in place. And the left fender in place. Lower door seal-rails welded in place on...

I dismantled my drivers door trim today and found this piece in the bottom of the door, not attached to anything. It is made of lead and appears to have been rivited onto something once. Does anyone know what it is, and hence is it important? Perhaps BMW put it thier to add extra weight or give...

Re: maintenance intervals? Common sense applies. If you constantly peg the tach to redline you are more apt to stretch and wear things. A garage queen is less likely to need adjustments, but its hard to say that routine valve lash checks is ever a bad idea. The factory service interval...

Practically speaking, this is more a matter of personal preference. Either coil would probably be more than adequate for your purposes. (If you are more concerned about the heat produced in your ballast resistor, as suggested by your other post, than maybe blue will give you peace of mind...

It strikes me as odd that you would add a "5-20W" oil to your 10-60. Unless you are mistyping the numbers, 5-20W or 5W[inter]-20 dilutes/thins the oil you had in the sump. With a worn engine (greater than usual tolerances) this is likely to result is reduced oil pressure. As le BluMax noted...
