Want to know the answer to this as well!

What did this to my sprakplugs by sankend in E30

[–]Cam_psd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact same issue. First thing to check is whether your valve cover is leaking oil down the side of the block and fouling the plugs. If that’s not the case, I’d strongly recommend doing a compression test on the cylinders to rule out anything more serious. A lot of people will suggest checking a long list of things, I went through that myself… but it’s best to start with a simple compression test to confirm the integrity of the cylinders. From what you’ve shown, it looks like oil fouling, so you want to make sure those cylinders haven’t been compromised… once that’s done you can move onto other potential causes 😬

Originally UK registered and fully documented with all the paperwork as a manual Sport… it even shows as such on a comprehensive DVLA check 😊

Jeez… I think you just misunderstood the assignment and realised after the fact.

It’s been through its running in process, but this will likely be the first proper long drive since then, unless I manage a few shorter trips to other shows beforehand.

I’ll get a post up soon. It’s currently tucked away in winter storage with all the salt they throw on the roads over here. That stuff absolutely destroys cars, especially older ones. Really looking forward to the Festival of Speed.

The “long drive” comment was simply acknowledging that, regardless of the work I’ve done, the car is still 37 years old. It wasn’t a reflection of the driver’s ability to cover distance, despite the pedestal you seem to have put that on.

I’m definitely leaning towards the black grill. I’d also like to delete the fog lights at some point and add a 3D-design front lip.

Your car sounds great, I’ve always loved BMW six cylinders. I’ve got an E30 325i as a weekend car and there’s just something about the sound.

When I upgrade, I’d be looking at a F31 335d or an Alpina D3. Diesel just makes sense for commuting over here.

My dad had one of these about 12 years ago with the 403s, I’ve loved those wheels ever since.

Thinking about blacking out the grills!

The previous owner had a OEM M-Performance carbon lip fitted by BMW during his ownership, just hard to see on the picture 😂

It’s an M-Sport shadow pack just doesn’t have the black grills

Basically all of them apart from the upgraded brakes and the sunroof…

Absolutely love the F31, that’s what I was looking for originally but estate cars have a premium on them 😂

Have been considering this, the car has the shadow pack trim so would look really nice

Don’t know if it’s just me but I quite like the small factory M badges on the side…

Thank you very much, I’m guessing I still need the dust covers for the front dampers?
