Hi, just rebuilt my M40, make sure you identify the marks when you take the front apart, easy to get the cam off, replace the cam seal on the front when replacing the cam shaft. The worst is getting all the front off the motor, the fan, water pump etc, so you can get to the cambelt tensioner to release it to get the belt off. be a good time to change it as well for the cost of the belt? Any specific problems as you go, just ask. By the way, you need a torx socket for the cam cog.

Hey, thanks a lot, think I'll go with the black, fluffy exhaust gives me extra 5 hp, just the edge I need for this, as it's going to be a race series car.

Hey, any chance of changing the baskets to black for me? Thanks.

What motor Gus?

Sorry Gus, I've already got 5, I only need so many.

Have heard today that it's coming to Auckland in the new section of the Museum. Yay, no need to go to Welly.

It's only a matter of time, and developement of technology!

Wouldn't be surprised if you have an air block, i had problems with mine, and ended up putting the garden hose up the small bottom return hose and turning it on untill water was coming out the bleeder screw and the top return hose from the block.

Someone must want one?

S'alright Graeme, Milan had them on his car on Friday and couldn't figure why he sat higher than the rest of us. Had a look and he was missing the all important 'sl'.

No it doesn't fit E30's, will let go for $40 or $45 posted anywhere. Any interest? PM me. Includes fitting screws, but no horn button. As new, unused.

These aren't the sl's, not suitable for the series.

Just buy the shock absorber, it fits inside the suspension strut and is a separate piece. your suspension is a mix of the shock absorber and the springs, the springs provide the bounce and the shock absorber controls the bounce rebound, so they work in tandem.

Yeah, first place I went. have had the intake side off and found the bracket holding the idle regulating valve had broken and it had pulled out of the intake housing. Have put it back together and it seems to be running OK I hope, will find out in the morning if that was the problem.

Starts fine when cold, but once hot it dies, splutters a couple of times maybe and stops. When you try to start it turns over but won't fire. Have checked past topics and checked spark plugs, plenty of spark, and fuel delivery, seems strong when turning motor over. Have checked and changed coil. no diff and relays, no diff. If you let the motor cool down it starts. Where do I go next? Cheers.

Hey Andy, does this mean the 318 setup's for sale soon? Interested.

I'm getting close then, should have 6 by the weekend!

Hey Graeme, could a M40 have the same problem if smelling of fuel at all speeds, can't drive with the window open, stinks too much.

Thinking about a full stable of bimmers are we Martyyn, I'm with you tho, the wheels need something else to pick the car out better. Could be real nice tho.

Hi, I've taken the cats off an E38, no problems, straight pipes replaced, a little louder, but hardly noticeable.

Quickest way to kill yourself and someone else, do it properly if you want to do it, don't mess around with your brakes.

I bet every man and his dog's key wording Steve Irwin on all their porn downloads at the moment, probably direct links as well!
