pretty sure they come with the bulb holder, if not, they wouldnt price up so bad if availabelthrough my supplier - I couldn't see them hitting $50, not by a mile - i would have to confirm exactly what they come with.... I'm sure jed will get in contact with me if he sees fit. please note - they are not genuine BMW articles, in saying that, I've never seen anything come out of the company that I obtain these off that isn't of an awesome standard, as Andy will likely agree - although I mis-supplied him with the wrong parts, which i was told were correct.... error in a catalogue it seems.

funniest sh*t I've heard all day, this is true. hah, honestly, his e28 = almost showroom condition... pwns you all, 5 times, CI5"The Professionals" styles, except it's no capri.

banned? damn.... looks like you guys lost a great resource

ICV perhaps???? unplug it and see if it makes a difference, alternatively - turn the key on, and see if it's buzzing... your's isn't nikasil, nikasil is a v8 thing (M60) - your engine is an M20, same as the e30 320i engine.... transplanting a small block?? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that'd be terrible- toyota 1uz-fe would be more like it, if not, m30 3.5 or similar american v8s are terrible, hell, you know you're not onto a good thing when a diesel hilux can pull more revs than you (not to mention more women )

fairly, in saying that, they don't wear the same as BMW ones it seems..... trade hookups always help - retail burns

man you were tucking them!!!!!that's the most expensive of them...... List 628.33 Trade Wsle 502.66 damn... profit = good

most rotary guys run low ratios - quite common to see 4.6:1 and such... I'd go for a 4.1 - I heard a rumour that you can put a non-lsd crown wheel and pinion onto the lsd centre.... easy

Where you guys go for your BMW FULL service?

power steering hose - could be getting tired - if it's a swaged fittings type - needs replacement, or could be a hose clip loose if it's that type. Might not be anything to worry about but get it seen to, dont wanna have p/s fluid pissing out over everything... messydrive shaft donut- wear and tear, see what your mech reckons... get it replaced asap if he says it's in need of replacement - you dont want your driveshaft flying around by itself, and the donut will be at the front of it = car pole vaulting at 100kph rear tyres getting low-self explanitory minor play left rear wheel - wheel bearing normal wear - get it adjusted if possible... easy fix, at worst it'll be a coupl of new wheel bearings -
mobil runs avgas, same as airfield stuff except it's a tad on the old side - after a period of time airfields have to get rid of it due to moisture build up or somehting, which renders it "unsafe for aircraft" by protocol. I know of a guy who's injected BDA escort rally car has done countless seasons on avgas with a normal 02 sensor, and it has no problems, although you can buy "lead friendly" o2 sensors if you must

surprises me, I was told that they're german.....LuK crowd is tied up with F.A.G bearings and a company that does CVT transmissions... LuK are OEM clutches to most euro car manufacturers - bmw/merc/audi etc generally have an LuK clutch as stock, along with 90% or more of the worlds tractors.... compete directly with 'fitchell and sachs', which has brought the competition right down over recent years. good clutches... *takes a sip from LuK coffee mug* heh
