Appreciate the feedback. Agree the car market all around seems a little slow. As for my asking price, I would simply say that this car was purchased in the price range of those BAT auctions and the difference with mine is that once the compression and leak down checked out on the engine, I gave a b...

For a 7" wheel, 205 is preferred as it is a slightly narrower tire on the width of the wheel. That will give you better steering feel and slightly better response than a 225 on a 7" wide wheel. 215 could work as well, but Alpina/Hartge preference was 225/50/16 on 8" and 205/55/16 on 7" I use 225 on ...

I think you're running the oil cooler Ted ? Check the pressure relief valve in the oil filter housing. I do have the cooler. Since it is early housing, it is tough to see underneath. How do I check the valve? Can't seem to find any documentation on it... I did find this: years ago, m30 oil pumps ha...

Thanks. I'll have to try the microphone inside the car next time. I couldn't make it this past week because of a strange issue. The most recent strange behavior is that when I start the car the last couple of times, the oil filter cannister blows out the oring seal and leaks oil rather than pumping ...

Looks really nice!

Red is best on E28, but still quite nice on E24.

Good luck, but your price may be optimistic as a lot of people are looking for sport seats over comfort. The comforts seem to hold up a bit better as well.

Use this to see the difference in tire size and wheel offset: https://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp Copied from member Chris Wright: The size of the original rims and tires that came from the factory: .....................................

Motronic sensors plus brake booster indicates it could be an M90. If waterjacket and L is not present, ECU/AFM or a look at the pistons would be the only way to tell for sure.

My '81 Motronic sensors had a different bracket, but maybe RHD and LHD are different...

At least it looks like it isn't rusty like most of the early cars.

This is a great website if the number get you confused: https://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

Can you jump the fuel pump through the combo relay and get it to run? I had a similar problem in 2010 and it was a bad combo relay.

So are you getting spark or fuel or neither? Need to confirm this first...

Decided to stick with proven solution 205/55R16 & 225/50R16. Will post photos later in my project section. Great choice, it is the correct size. I have these in 16x8 square and am happy with them. 225/50/16. http://drive4corners.com/wp-content/usergallery/hashtag/sized635.jpg The problem is the off...

Euro or US spec? Which year?

Lots of variations...

I'm not sure chrome came on any of the later model cars (post 1981)..

You could remove for plug the fuel line to that cold start injector if needed...

wow, very unique combo, looks very nice!

Maybe share some actual pictures

Are you sure those width and offsets are correct?
I have a staggered set of 16x7 e11 and 16x8 et24.

did you refinish them? Any other details on that?

Took the car out to another track day. My turbo car was having issues again #-o Overall it did well .These tires were newer Riken Raptors-- and the wheels are the Rial mesh that I have mounted and will pretty much remain on the car. I had the timing adjust on me in the middle of the session as my nu...

Stock 32's are et20 17x8, so you have wider wheels that stick out 8mm more.

Cool car, although I already have one :)

Shame it doesn't have the dogleg or Recaro's but it would still be a nice car for somebody.

Her boyfriend used to be on bimmerforums. His name is camillo

According to some research, this was the mileage 15 years ago. Hasn't traveled far lately (6000 miles in 15 years)...

I hate that you are parting such a cool clean car (and great color) without major rust.
