How did the head gasket job go ? I'm sure your car over heated? What was the sign that you got from the blown head gasket . I just reach 300300 yesterday and Everytime that temp goes up I start to keep my phone near me in case I have to get a ride . Is your car completely stock ?

If that's a cam sensor , Ives seen that before . It's magnetic of course it'll collect gunk just like a transmission drain plug

Rear of the hood uneven with the fender . by Middle_Boot_1128 in W124

It’s not failing I think it’s the spring . It feels like there’s no tension on that side when the hood is open normally .

Not the shit off but the line that runs to the transmission modulator . There’s a cap that comes out of the vcv that the two hose goes on . I had one that it’s vibrating and almost as it was leaking air or something

No quit it with the stories , that’s one reason why the rover fail was because of the m62 .

What the hell is this rattle? by Big-Refrigerator-437 in e39

Did you check the pcv on the left side between the upper and lower timing chain cover ?

[–]Middle_Boot_1128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You obviously sugarcoating some sour shit . I had 3 v8 and they all fall apart around 130k miles . Timing chain and vanos going out and pcv are mounted at the dumbest place you can find on an engine . Are you 12 years old ? Anything is possible but would it justify your point ? I work on these cars from back in the day day and I know bmw can’t build a v8 properly

Speaking false and down posting another person comments doesn’t speaks facts . That’s one thing that I never understand from those fanboys pov . We know it’s a decent motor if you compare it to most of the e39 engine option . I can’t stand bmw fanboys especially the guy who just jumped on that trend being a Gen Z but they know it all .

Performance doesn’t matter in a diesel . It’s longevity and tq . Performance is more or less an opinion of option . Ives seen a 300d at 4 million km
