eliongater 718 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Poor picture quality because of my ph but followed this E38 all the way from Wanganui to Auckland on the weekend of the ECC meet. The owner shall remain nameless. Andy. Woops. In true Bond style throwing out a smoke screen. 1449273399527.jpg 1449271612113.jpg 1449271601673.jpg Wolw, it looks far worse from your perspective 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kepes 231 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Wow, what was the cause?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulgan 1042 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Faulty rocker cover gasket I believe. Fortunately Andy was able to source a new gasket and do the repair in Auckland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) the cause was a 2001 728i being fitted with a presumably second hand rocker cover gasket with a 1998 date stamp that decided to spit it self out, followed by about 5L of oil between Wanganui and Mt Eden. wasnt smoking like that the whole way, just when turning left and it spilled onto manifold and anyway just put electric rear blind up, out of sight out of mind lol Gavin at Euro Italian hooked me up with a new gasket, fitted that in my Auckland workshop and all good for the way home the real question is why is the 750i stuck behind the 728i lol Edited December 17, 2015 by _Ethrty-Andy_ 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulgan 1042 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 ha ha ha. Well, I did say I'd follow you up and I am a man of my word. And when it wasn't smoking the view was rather nice. Especially when getting a glimpse of the deep dish rims as you were cornering. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted December 20, 2015 Bit overdue as i've been taking pics/vids and forgetting to post. First up, Genuine E30 M3 destroked to 2.0L with a hairdryer on the side. Right Hook 635CSI (Auto ) Mint Condition E28 M535 And saw this E30 while cruising one day. And this 740 that sounded like it was Manual, checked the VIN and it was originally auto, but the way it took off and changed up/down sounded very manual. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted December 20, 2015 the 740 has been molested a bit, usually there are "no" exhaust tips on an E38, they are tucked behind the bumper and point at the ground where you cant see them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
