Picking this up tomorrow for my new DD!!!
I joined here in 2009 when I had my 335i. Love that thing to death, but I moved on to VW's for a few years. Back in a BMW now. I still have a few 80s models though. E30, E28, etc.
Immediate plans:
Three Stage IM swap
Dyno tune at TopSpeed in Atlanta, GA
KW coils
OZ Wheels, something obnoxious like bronze supraleggras
Exhaust... Need to research what sounds the best.
^ My favorite engine! So smooth and feels more powerful than it actually is.
^ Soon!!!! Muahah. FYI those are the dummy plugs for the DISA valves.
^ I went ahead and gave it a full service. Cleaned out the intake plumbing, replaced the filter with a K&N drop-in (Not worried about oil, I've been using these for over a decade).
Poured some Pentosin valve cleaner and fuel cleaner into the gas tank. Going to run the tank dry and then change the oil. I need to order diff and tranny fluid, going with Redline MTF(L?) and Redline 75W90.
Questions: Is Mobil 1 0W40 ok? What is the oil capacity again? 6.2qts?
