I have used past parts - excellent service and they can stainless sleeve them.

Giving it a miss this year, last year was enough of the same for me - the new format should hopefully raise the game from the last couple of years though.

I agree that our engines like the increased zinc content - one misconception is that ALL modern synthetics have reduced amounts of zddp. Many of the ester synthetics have equally high levels - millers nanodrive or Motul 300v for example. It is just the long service interval oils designed for...

Masters Series is the normal one where they run - not sure about this years entry list though.

Original M49 (copies) are available in the uk as it happens. But you need an M49..... And no the bundle of snakes m88 are nothing like them...

Hammerite is fine on brake calipers so I'm sure it's fine on the diff.

Motul RBF600 for me - use it in my m3 race car too.

I just see them as belt and braces - they have been proven to work and help protect shells on lots of cars so why not the e9? The strut tops move the most even during daily driving so if it flexes elsewhere as you say lower down away from all those spot welds I will take it.

Looks familiar :-) pretty aren't they!

Welcome! And good luck in the search, it may take some time, but it will be worth it.

You will find the valve gaps will tighten quite quickly after a 100 miles or so - hence it's best to run them at the looser end until it's done a few miles.

I agree you should set them looser to start with

Castrol, there are several group 2 UFO reps!

I have one of Marks rear braces and it is fantastic quality. I have also seen the other parts in the flesh - they are first class too.

I also need one of those!

Nice one, would it be in the city somewhere?

Is this an open invite? What day are you guys catching up...?

I do 25k miles a year in an e60 550i and find the support from the BMW extended warranty excellent. I pay £42 per month and it covers the car for any failures. It removes the risk of being fleeced by main dealers which is the only reason I buzz around in a car like this - there is no way I...
