just read the thread she looking good now.. lot of work gone into her now!
when you putting in the m52? got a stage 3 clutch and lightened flywheel for one if you interested?
Coilpacks and leads ok? They often cause a mis-fire on the M42 and M44s.
The ignition drivers in the ECU get fried too though at times if the coils are getting weak.
What brand flywheel and clutch is it? Thats for nothing! :)
nice progress! so pissed that i cant make it to the tannery, d love to see the bmw in action:cool:
