PSA: I played with the wrong rev limiter settings and lost a head gasket this morning.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

It's always a chance to make improvements. I've got over 40k miles on this turbo e28. One engine, lots of plugs, a different turbo system all together and half a dozen clutches. I've had fun.

Maintenance isn't really post worthy. It's like changing the oil and coolant. Happy Holidays!

Just to clarify (if I may), IIRC Zane either had a handle on mye28 or website called BMW Performance not to be confused with the member here on the board BMW Performance. They are 2 separate items. This one tripped me up a while back.

Zane's is bmwperformance. Mine has a space. Zane never posts so he never uses it. Last time he did was 2008 and he only has 7 posts. When I joined in 07 he was building me an e24 similar to his e12 but not so shiny.Nebraska_e28 wrote:Just to clarify (if I may), IIRC Zane either had a handle on mye28 or website called BMW Performance not to be confused with the member here on the board BMW Performance.
