That looks like a broken reverse light switch to me.
Should have 2 spade terminals poking out of it.

Could also be a blocked return line to the tank, would increase the pressure at the injectors.

You could always have your own set refurbished and painted with a gold centre. Maybe even have the outer lip polished if you wanted.

Re: After rebuild, won't start.. Help
There is a start inhibitor switch in an auto box that is not in a manual gearbox.
The wires for this switch in the loom near the gearshifter need terminating to allow the starter to fire.

Dinan M6 Turbo on Racecarsdirect
Saw this pop up yesterday.
High miles to be putting a turbo on one unless there was other work done to the long block?

No connection to it myself, but thought you'd be interested here.

Re: Sideloader Ratios
Yes more plates gives more lockup, but I don't know the actual %'s. Preload is the force required to turn one output flange independently from the other without any input load. BMW supplied lsd's have a preload in the region of 50 to 100 ftlb. This is what you measure to see if a std LSD is worn or ...

Re: Sideloader Ratios
I think the only difference may be if there is a different bolt pattern on the ring gear. I am not sure if it is the side plate or the ring gear but there is a difference where one uses 8 bolts and the other 10. So if in the ring gears it's a problem. And yes there should never be a problem switchi...

Re: 1979 635csi M90 Simple question ECU location
Worth noting LHD/RHD as you are in Aus. ECU will be on the right hand side of the vehicle. RHD drivers side, LHD Passengers side. We are just restoring a RHD 3.0csi ourselves and will be putting in an M30B34 from my old 1983 E24 which is Motronic 1.0. Contemplating putting a standalone ECU on it wit...

Re: hi guys i have run into a problem so can i get some help and guydens?
What I meant was, you cannot bolt a gearbox from an M30 onto the S54. Without serious cutting and alloy welding anyway. The M10 (4 cyl) shares its bellhousing bolt pattern with the M30, however the gearbox's for the M10 are usually not as strong as an M30 variant. In my opinion the diff will have no...
