That was mercifully quick. How'd you find it?

Riley,
Congrats on bringing it back to life. Too bad for us that you did a significant amount of parts replacement without zeroing on the actual no-start cause. Maybe you did, so for knowledge sake, please let us know.
Thanks,
Ken

Since Dean is no longer with us, is it possible to restore/repost his pictures?

I've got 3 old mats for sale: driver and two rears. Real OEM carpeting. Greenish. The black backing is coming apart but the carpet is sound. BMW logo on driver's mat and the heel pad is intact. All I need is postage from NYC to you.

My prayer is for peace, serenity, good health and sanity. The last item is most needed with our current lot of leaders.

Isn't there a VIN plate on the left side of the dash? I'm in the US and don't know if they do different things elsewhere.

Oh wow. Let's all hope for a speedy recovery.

My phone doesn't do the color justice. It is a chocolate brown. They are happy to send color samples (I think they get $1 each)

I also have a template for a trunk mat, but until I empty that in the summer, It will wait. I may use a different material back there with a solid color.

I just received my Cocomats. They are great people to work with. I started with their existing 635 template, but after a few revisions, it fits like a glove. I used the Coco color 06 which is a beige dot on a brown background. The heavy rubber backing should settle in over the summer as the car warm...

Bravo! Bravo!
Pop the champagne!

I just watched an interesting video on youtube where a fellow used a Cricut to make gaskets for his chain saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hejUzvfGuY8 I would image given the profile, you would have to make this out of several layers of thin neoprene (such as a mouse pad) and glue up with wetsui...

No LPG cars in the USA. Or very very rare that someone imported or created. I think warehouse forklifts may run on LPG, maybe a lawmower. You have Gasoline or Diesel. In the rural US where I live there are no emissions inspections either. Only a safety inspection every two year to make sure your si...

Just paid $2.49 for regular and $2.79 for premium at Costco in Riverhead NY. You got a deal!

I installed a Curt trailer hitch on my Lexus RX350. Just so I could mount a trailer to pick up another E24.....

For those everywhere, we here on this side of the Atlantic celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday. Secular to be sure but we are grateful for having our family and friends close to us, either in body or in spirit. One of those communities of shared interest is BC and we are happy when newbies join us and ...

Pressure test your cooling system?

From my experience, the groaning could be a wheel bearing. Let us hear if you've solved the problem with the new bushing.

You may also want to check if you have any oil leaks that may vaporize hitting the hot engine and then getting into your cabin.

That setup certainly simplifies the plumbing. Lots less tubing and snaking.

Don,
Many thanks for the waxoyl tutorial. I remember the days of Ziebart but never saw it applied to a 6'er. I guess this is the modern equivalent.
Cheers,
Ken

Done. Glad to keep you in Champagne and steaks!

BTW, if you are a numbers guy, what was last year's average donation and did you go over what you needed?

It is always amazing that advances in science can be so personal in their impact. I'm glad that you are on the positive side of the trial with clear benefits of longevity. Back when I was in elementary school (1950's) I was part of the massive Salk vaccine trial in the US while my sister (7 years ol...

re waxoyled in those deep, hard to get to cavities

Is there a diagram of the access points for the waxoyl?

Burndy (A Hubbell Company) also supplies ground straps.

It still saddens me when I'm going over some thread where Dean had contributed his vast knowledge.
