    Need advice. how to check compression, procedure details

    Removing all spark plugs at once is ok as well, I don't see a problem with it. Here are instructions for the classic, mechanical motometer with the small recording charts. Cool! https://www.motometer.de/wp-content/downloads/de/KPS_Betriebsanleitung.pdf

    Need advice. how to check compression, procedure details

    Usually remove 1 spark plug at a time, remove ignition cables so the engine can't start. Just crank with gas pedal fully pressed (wide open throttle). Crank for a couple of seconds. It's easier if you have someone who can sit in the driver seat and crank for you while you hold the pressure...

    Which color Coco Mat?

    I'm just curious, why do you call them "CSL lookalike" mats? We're they originally specific to CSL?

    Final word on electric fuel pump for carbs

    @Mike Goble Mike, you wrote in another thread: Does your Bav tank have a single hole for a twist in unit or one with nuts and bolts? From the pictures of the E24/E28 assembly it looks like the pre-supply pump and level indicator assembly is mounted with nuts and bolts in a single hole. My CS...

    Robert Downey Jr's E9

    Not to hi-jack this thread, but can someone enlighten me on the water transfer printing possibilities? Is it an alternative to chroming, e.g. the taillight frame and/or their reflectors? Is it expensive?

    Parts catalogs- online

    I used to use BMWs own on-line shop but some time ago they stopped showing part numbers for parts they don't have in stock. And it's slow to navigate. Very irritating!
