  1. Yes those are alpina spoilers AS WELL. i used to have that style of spoiler, and i want it back! The lip pic i posted on this thread is ALSO al E30 alpina lip
  2. Either way, that car looked great! Is the 325i a white SE? The Alpina cars spoiler is an Alpina jobby
  3. Is that Tech 1 spoiler, or Alpina?
  4. Firstly have you checked your fuses and relays?
  5. Can somebody tell me EXACTLY where the engine number on an M20 is? i have ideas coming from all angles, but still cant see it

    Bmw e28 M535I 1986

    I may tell a mate about it..... he recently wrote his red M535 off on a horse
  7. I realigned the TPS when i cleaned it, and the click was in the right place. Remoed ECU today and found fried circuit- getting fixed as I type. I just hope it hasnt gotten to the chip
  8. bahahahahahaha, how did i know that a reply by you would say that!
  9. So then it was all good and i had the car running perfectly after i cleaned out the TPS (crap had seeped down into it) and i got bored and did a service light reset. (annoying INSPECTION light was on) i may have f**ked something over- as i used an 'unfused wire' (paperclip) and probably left it on for too long while i wondered why all the green ligts werent on. Now the ICV wont buzz, but it works fine in Wills cars. The relays under trhe plastic box beside the airflow meter are also fine. There is voltage enough to the centre pin on the ICV to light a 12V bulb, other 2 i cant test as i dont have a multimeter (yet) Any ideas what i fried possibly? God I hope its not the ECU! Argh
  10. $478.14 Jerry clayton BMW is what i see in my email, Thats with parts discounted at 25% (i think) and labour full price. BMW use a special tool to remove them, so it is possible that a normal mechanic may take longer, but probably still cheaper
  11. How did you diagnose that it was 3 lifters? i had a ticking noise which i got sick of in my M40 so i had them all replaced by BMW, fixed it perfectly.
  12. I dont want a race car on the road, and i expect most new BMW buyers think the same! I love the msport versions, and the M3
  13. Isntthat a Bond Bug of the 70's
  14. So today i decided to clean out my air intake/ throttle body on my M20. -Did all that with carby cleaner, dried nicely, put all back together with cleaner, tighter seals than before, checking all pipes etc for conition. All was mint. All elec connections clean. -Once it was all back together, the previous 20 sec sliiiight idle fluctuation had gone from 700- 1000rpm, to 500- 2000 rpm non- stop. Now I know about vacuum leaks, i know the function of the ICV, and i know about air flow meters (basic operation anyway). -After taking the car for a cobweb blow- out, (NOT a thrash, but a good run for 15 min) the fluctuation had gone- and on starting, the car would struggle to stay at 400rpm, and then stall mostly. Tonight with the car cold, it starts fine first pop, but dies instantly. The ICV is doing the normal buzz, but when disconnected it doesnt 'spring' to the open position like i have read they should, instead it stays at the 2-3mm gap same as with engine off and key in 'ON' position (ICV buzzing). Sorry about the complicated post, but basically MY QUESTION IS: Should the ICV spring open when disconnected? (non- event indicating shot ICV) could this be the prob?
  15. Yip just ordered one for 24 at BNT
