He can even see date stamps that my eyes are to poor to see... :flyfun:

Dawie NGK is the OE fitted to the s54.
So I spent some time cleaning the cylinder head.
I gave it a light clean as it did not warrant anything more than that.......(not like your car my friend
)
Exhaust gearbox had to be removed to go to engineers for the oil pump disc so it has been deep cleaned.
No rattle kit was done on the car as the spline shafts run silently.
Waiting for fuel filter and air filter and off it goes to daddy

Best way to remedy this? Or is it scrub down and elbow grease?
On an earlier post I was postulating that the fuel filter would be dated 2005.....herewith the proof that I was correct....roll on Motorplan.
Ready to go back home which will be done tomorrow and and and and I shall be driving it there
I have always found Carbon Black to be one of the most appealing colours although hard to keep clean.
When I see the multicolour changes it merely re affirms my sentiment that it is one of the most intriguing and appealing colours.

I wanted to mention that I am taking my camera with me for the road trip as well as for some of the cars that this owner has stashed away.
Hopefully he will allow me to photograph some of his machinery so that I may share it with you........let us see how things pan out.

make him an offer he cant refuse :rollsmile:
I drove the car some 200Kms back to its owner today.
This is the first long trip I have undertaken in an M3 and I was left absolutely in awe.
For a 15 year old design the chassis dynamics are right up there with the most modern of GTs.
The power of the NA 3,2L motor is intoxicating.
With the vanos working the car builds speed very quickly as well as very smoothly
I had a blast.
The fuel consumption was 7,8L/100Km with some spirited driving included.
So......I spent a delightfull day with my friend and got to see some of the other cars he has garaged in his house.
I shall be posting some of the pics I took in this thread.
It was time for me to leave and this is what I drove back home
1994 build 1995 registered e36M3 with 43000Km.
A spotless car.
Helrot with titan leather.
We will do a vanos overhaul and as a precaution check on clearances although I doubt that it will need them reset at this low mileage.
The S50 motors have very big shims which do not go out of spec very quickly unlike the s54 motors.

The 2.7 Conversion was R29 950 back in the day. Remember reading it when i was chucking my early 90's CAR mags.

The minter of an e36 M3 I can handle.
The 325iS and Alpina made me heartsore!
The want is unbearable.
Aaaaand the Alpina has the Uberkaro interior
I must own it!
so worth the 200km trip :rollsmile:
In the far left corner lurks a 2002 with original books in reasonable condition which will in all likelihood undergo modernisation whilst retaining the original look as well as a 1M with some 6000Km (if memory serves) as well as a daily driven 325iS with some 180000Km.
The following pics are from what is undoubtedly the cleanest 325iS I have ever seen.
One needs to consider that the car has 145000Km on the clock and is absolutely clean and perfect with no blemishes and resprayed panels.
Drivers seat has some wear on the bolster which is consistent with the age of the car.
The above photo is the engine compartment of the daily driven 325iS.
