Oh Hai.
part uno: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1541011
Just got a few solid hours work on this, and spent some time with a former master tech from BMW who attempted to help me diagnose this.
We really did not get too far. Its firing on all cylinders, but poorly. He fears a bent connecting rod or something major but wont know definitely until later this week when we compression test it.
Either way here is what i did today:
- Discovered almost all the Alpina bits hidden under the engine cover and reconnected a bit, im still trying to figure it out.
- M-sport mirrors
- M-door sills.
-Pulled front door panels to reconnect the mirrors and find the tweeter wiring.
Recently I:
-Mtech wing installed
-Rear hella clear tails on
-Various panels back on
-Trunk panels and tool kit reassembled.
I still have alot of the interior to reinstall. The dash panels are out. The obc and stereo is out.
I have to literally rewire the whole damn car for music. Its good and bad. Ill be able to do really nice sound with it.
Some pictures i took today. I DO NOT like this red plate filler on this car, at all. Too much red.
Msport Mirrors on :

Bias Adjuster for the brakes:
This bolt in the oil filter housing is leaking. I dont know why its there. Something to do with the following sensor and the alpina bits:
Engine:

Awesome car my man... I envy you !
Hope you can get her running again.
Hope he wasn't able to get rid of too many parts before you got it but it will be 1 hell of an e34 when you get it back together. Hell of a score. Is the mirror housing cracked? Iirc he said his daughter damaged it. A lil glass work and it should be fine. I will be following your progress.
the car is looking good!
Great progress sir! Rock on.

Very nice!
I'm sure someone with a non-red E34 would be more than willing to take the red filler plate off your hands.

I agree loose the red plate Steve. An m5 plate might be better.

ill trade you my m5 filler plate for the red one. i think the red would look good on a black car
^I believe he is already equipped with one on his 525. But the offer is worth the shot, maybe Steve already has a buyer for it.

yea i figured it was worth a shot, he has to send me some euro trim anyways so he could throw this in there too
Very unique, that engine bay looks very busy. Looking at those (custom?) calipers I could not help but think 'FML' if one of them seizes.
Very nice. Perhaps you would like to some practice with taking off the mirrors too. And putting them in a box. And mailing that box with those mirrors to me.
Keep it up! Looks awesome. I'm way jealous.
Looks awesome, anticipating whats to come!
I'm almost tempted to fly up to MA just to lend a hand, and say I touched it. That thing is bloody sick! Take you time, whatever you do, don't sell it, you'll never sleep soundly if you do that.
In reference to picture #6, I think the bolt is a temporary piece from when he took the Alpina sensor out. Shouldn't it have a crush washer and a flush bolt?
maybe MAYBE ben will trade you the msport for his acs mirrors, even if the acs are uber rare

8 oem plugs for under 40$ . The plugs need to be changed regardless.
