I think one of the spacers got lost. They look better up there as load distributing washers.

Motorinc Transplant Photo?

Anyone done this in an E-12? If the pics load, these are shots of my 74 Coupe with the conversion I am planning for my 1980 528i. These were work in progress photos of the CS. <center> <a href="http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/rondwyer/BMW%20Misc/?action=view&current=Engfromdside.jpg&...

Anyone have pictures of a Motronic 3.5 transplant?

Hi, I did one of these on my E9 Coupe a few years ago using the hydraulic brakes from the E28 as well. I imagine the job is about the same on an E12. Anyone in Northern California have one of these already set up I might take a look at? Ron Dwyer I'd post my coupe pics but cannot figure out how this...

The rule as I recall was to put in what the factory designed it for.

Oil Change

Changing to synthetic on a used transmission won't get you any kudos from Steve Dinan. It wore in on a heavier oil and thinner oil will speed the destruction of the gearbox. This was all out of a tech session I set up at Dinan as the local CCA chapter technical director in 1990.

I have noticed a fair number of SAABS in the local boneyard, let me know if you want me to extract one for you. Without the slider panel it sure would be hot having a window up there!
