I was just about to fire up the big scanner for our fellow Bigcoupers.
Great scans, thanks Ron. I Hope you didn't have to cut the spine of your copy to get the full page! I think this magazine is available on a digital/ipad edition too. But you can beat having the "old school" hardcopy.

C&SC magazine March 2014 Birth of the M Power dynasty

They test all of the cars that created the desirable lineage of ultimate driving machines that continues to this day. First-generation greats include the M1 supercar, nimble M535i, family fun M5, continent crushing M635CSi and the ever-roguish M3 Evo II.

UK M6 Black f/s

Just saw this

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C419590

Alas no picture of the important bit on a M6, the engine bay.

If it's 1 of only 101 RHD Highline’s produced, how do you find out where
you car is on the number sequence?

ie car 45 of 101 etc.

Thanks in advance.

The off the road notification which rolls in at the end month will probably act like a catalyst for jettisoning big engine sub-30 year old cars .... back to the UK or worst still, local scrap/ebay merchants.

It only dripped slightly when the tanks was full. These cars don't stay full for long :lol: No fumes, and as I said the breather outlets could literally break off in my hand.

I finally got around to replacing the fuel tank. I witnessed the tell tale signs; fuel dripping from full fuel tank . I bought a new tank from euro parts. Alas it was silver, so i got it blasted, zinc coated and powder coated satin black. I also gave it some por-15 (belt & braces). I was shocked...

OBC DISPLAY LED LIGHT BOARD

Just replaced the OBC back light. Very impressed. Handy enough for a RHD E24. Just remove the headunit. loosen screw, pull white housing out containing light bar (long nose pliers) replace and reverse. I recommend euro-electric .
