Thanks again,

GWL, What about the feel of the car? How does the setup with the 25mm front bar compare to when you had the 22mm bar (either situation with the 18mm rear bar)? Thanks, Eric Since I do not race anymore it is difficult to evaluate just which set up is best for speed. However I liked the feel with the...

Bringing this one back from the dead. BTW you can put some roll stiffness back in the front which only comes in on the limit by fooling with the bump stops. This way you might get the best of both worlds... I think that stiffer bump stops is the way Alpina setup my Euro. How would you recommend foo...

Hi guys, I've run into a problem with my trunk / boot lid today. Some cretin decided to let a bunch of cretins wash his car and they enthusiastically opened the lid and now it won't close. I'm hoping someone has the pics being referred to earlier in this thread? PM Sent Hey, George, if you still ha...

Re: E39 hubs on E24
I have 3 E24s, two of which have Style 5 wheels and aluminum hubcentric spacers. However, I have often wondered......is it possible to just fit E39 hubs to our E24s? I know that "possible" has a cost component.....I've just never compared the geometry of the two. I've only had E24s. https://lh3.goo...

It looks to me like the fuel cooler would be a sleeve that fits around one of the a/c return lines. Exactly! The sleeve is behind the heat shield between the engine side of the wheel well and the heat shield. It looks like a fat tube with two fuel lines attached. The lines go into the firewall and ...

So, if my car had a fuel cooler, where would it be? Realoem indicates that my car has one of these but I'll be darned if I can figure out where it is. I have not completely followed the hard fuel lines from the back of the car where the filter and secondary pump are all the way to the engine bay bu...

So that was a standard Euro feature? I "discovered" it on my 80 Euro when I accidentally hit the stalk in the left turn position one day as I exited the vehicle. Came back a day later and had a dead battery. After getting a jump (at night) I could plainly see that the left signals were steady on. E...

It's nice to see your skills develop Phil! This is a little offbeat but let it serve notice to others about an issue I had a few years back... I'm not sure if this applies to the e24 euros but on the e23 euros, if the turnsignal arm is pushed up or down for turn signaling and then pushed forward to...

Not sure exactly what your asking, but your ignition is a basic transistorized ignition and is not inter-connected with the ECU which controls the fuel. So basically you will need a battery, ignition module, coil and spark plug wiring. Also vacuum line to the distributor. Set the timing using a timi...
