    EDGE E34/E39 Problem Checklists

    Hey gang, we finally got the E34/E39 checklists up on the site. Please let me know if we should be adding anything to it, but I think we covered most of what we see on a regular basis.

    Enjoy!

    (MODS--Please Sticky if you can, thanks!)

    Typo on the main page... you wrote 1982 for the year.

    Also, the e34 v8 also has a plastic thermostat housing

    the thing with the 02 sensors is right on!

    fellas..try this link: http://www.edgemotorworks.com/checklists.htm

    I found the link broken as well...and just went to the edgemotorworks "home linK" that was posted and then worked my way over to the "check list". You'll see the link for the e34/e39 if you click the link I posted in the first sentence above.

    Hope this helps.

    See that this was addressed, but perhaps going back and editing the link in the first post would be a good idea????
