Replace the negative battery cable (has a ground strap under the fuse box). Worked wonders for me, and it's cheap and only takes 5 minutes to swap.

I wish someone would chime in and verify they fit the E12 shelf. Not sure why they wouldn't, but who knows.

The polks I have fit without issue. Surprisingly.

One more to show the speaker housings in my car... when I had the interior gutted getting new leather...

I wish I could remember. I did some good Polk 4x6s up front and components in the rear. I'm guessing your car has the 4x6s in the rear instead of the bigger premium housings? The bigger premium housings? You mean aftermarket or can we fit bigger ones in? 99% sure this is what I used for the front s...

Check the easy stuff like the thermostat first. I replaced mine as a preventive thing back when I got my current 528i and I had multiple failures with the replacement tstats... should have just left it alone! I guess that's the quickest way to start, stick it in some hot water and see what happens. ...

Alright, I figured out that the answer hinges on the definition of proper. It is certainly very possible to do it by making an incision in the carpet between the firewall and the blower. It comes out easily then and you could install the carpet in a way that no one would ever know that incision had...

Cool Chump Car,,,,

Chris- I was able to pull the M90 + G265 out of the '77 attached. I had the front of the car lifted up a few feet, and just went slow/carefully.

Sorry I can't help (though it sounds like a fuel issue to me), but I would love to see a pic of your car with the Alpina wheels, since we have otherwise similar vehicles. I have been considering going this route but haven't been able to make up my mind yet.
