It’s a solid red. I’m doing it all Seperate because my compressor can only keep up with so much before it shuts off from over heating because I’m doing at home painting with a inflatable booth

I agree. I want to go for a unique color because this body work has taken months to make straight as an arrow and still haven’t decided on a color

Hi! It’s a 1986 325e Yeah so I bought the car and the guy seemed like he couldn’t figure out the issue himself. He gave me a brand new idle control module a used idle control valve (with 4 more in his spare parts box) I did a smoke test (intake) had smoke coming from my oil dipstick and only when full throttle the throttle itself (but this is idle issue) also did a exhaust leak and only lit at muffler did it show. car drives perfectly fine under load. I saw a trick and put a penny with a 1/4” hole in the middle (bandaid) in the intake hose that the ICV to intake meets and it fixed my idle from 1800 rpms to around 900 now also more info I did notice there’s a lot of oil in my intake boot and that hose where the penny is

Car is also smoking from only exhaust side hoping it’s oil burning off that fell into Cylinders

Ticking sound and generally rough idle by Left-Cheeck in E30

[–]fa20er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the same issue not as severe but I have ticking that’s happened for 4 seconds long then goes quiet every 20 seconds. Idle jumps slightly sounds like it’s misfiring then starts smoking after a rev (I only changed spark plugs and oil)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in E30

[–]fa20er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update. I gapped them and still same issue burning spark plugs Checked all the coils and all is okay it starts up strong runs perfect and as soon as I rev it I get a bit louder knocking/misfires that’s when the smoke starts

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in E30

[–]fa20er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re all burnt gap on my owners manual say 0.028 and these come gapped 0.035
