| 8 Series (E31) (1991 - 1997) As the last E24 rolled off the production line in 1989, its replacement was quick on its heels to fulfill the fantasies of those looking for a touring coupe with all of the luxury, performance, and prestige of a BMW, only now with both 8 and 12 cylinder engines. |

Oil line Banjo bolt question
Anyone know what size the banjo bolts are on the cam shaft oil lines? I think they are an M12 but don't know the thread pitch or the length.

The best thing for you to do is just go to the dealer and buy new. The problems with pre 91 heads is there was no threadlocker compound on the bolts and many V12 have had these bolts fully unscrew and fall into the head. So many people have gotten lucky but the new bolts have threadlocker already installed. Are you missing a bolt or two. If so you better not run that engine until you find them. Or your going to have a very expensive repair on your hands.
