Ah yeah cold injectors, was wondering what that spare thermostat housing bolt was for.

Yeah temp sensor is only one prong

I think so. Here's what suppose to look like. Id buy a new one put it in proper place

Just wondering why your temp sensor is mounted where it is. Ever bmw ive seen has it next to the coolant sensor

Brown sensor for the gauge cluster

Blue for the coolant temp sensor

If replacing the sensor doesn't work try taking out the gauge cluster and checking gauge contact points

Pretty sure that's Bimmersport member 'Brennan' car. Twin of my E30

Owner rang me up and asked if i wanted to swap for my 750. Not something i like but least could of gone or a manual and\or 5L V8

If i had a bit of spare cash id buy it so i could shoot\blow it up.

Last time i priced one up was $300 for a viscous fan clutch. I buy a new one, dont know how good second hand ones are or how long they gonna last.

^exactly, especially when they got the M logo tacked onto the front or below on the model designation. Makes me laugh

Ive noticed more and more when i get pulled over by a cop with another riding shotgun, one plays the nice guy and the other is an a**hole. Like the whole good cop/bad cop thing. Its so incredibly gay. I live in Auckland, not f**king Miami vice.

If i do something wrong and i get pulled over, fair enough. I take the hit. But these routine inspections.. Gawd. You can only have so many routine inspections before its just silly.

Nino you may be able to shed some simple down to earth stats on this. I don't know sweet f**k all of the ratio of routine inspections to actual reason pull ups. Could you give me a rough figure?

Yeah had that happen the other day. Apparently me and my mate were drag racing and 3 witnesses saw us, cops turn up and starting talking to us separately. I get the good cop, being all nice when asking question's. My mate gets the bad cop who has a tone and keeps telling him you mate has confessed to racing.

Once had a cop turn me over because "looked a bit young to be driving". Saw me go out of a shop into my car and waiting around the corner, pulled me over and did the usual checks.

Exactly. Did all the suspension with urethane when i did my overhaul, completely different car.

Not so much a comfortable drive anymore but going 100+ seems smooths it out a lot. Makes you want to keep driving like you were saying.

Ive used Redline MTL in my gearbox, less notchy and helped sort my 1st>2nd change hitch.

I paid $31 for 900ml bottle at BNT. Got some Redline 75W90 for my LSD too.

Priced some up from BM workshop a month ago. $160 each for the fronts, $155 each for the rear. Brand was Zimmerman. Decent price.

Just got some rear Rensa pads for my 750i for $69 from BM warehouse.

Anything wrong with it?. Pretty low k's for an M30

Good movie.

Clive Owen sure likes his BMW's. The Hire short films were quite good also.

Id say it was the capacitor\capacitor solder joints in the cluster causing the erratic gauges. You can try resolder the joints or put new ones in.

I had the same problems in a donor E34 i brought and ended up swapping the cluster out. Sound like better off doing that.

Your odometer will read what the replacement cluster has done.

Cant miss it

+1 ordered a 750i water pump in short notice and at a very decent price. Thanks again, can go on my road trip now.

To me seems like the 74,000 should be 174,000 . Id guess the WOF guy probably missed out the 1

+1 shocks and springs first. Most strut braces i see for sale are just eye candy anyway

My contribution

Should say on the back on the fuse box cover but I would think if it was the fuse the whole cluster would not work.

Does none of the cluster light up? I had the rev counter light go out one day on once just needed a new bulb.

+1 on speed sensor cable at back on the diff for the speedo

Looks real clean, love the dish too.

Prob the LKM(light control module) acting up, common problem. I resolder'd some joints in the 730i one and did the trick.

Info on the net about it.
