I have often mussed to myself that of the E9X series cars I prefer the E90.
The first one I had a detailed look of and drove belonged to Chris (fordkoppie)
What I most enjoyed about it was that being smaller than the 92/93 it behaved well on the road even though steering feedback was /is somewhat vague untill one gets used to it.
It somehow feels over assisted and does not give one the feel that you get on the Z4M for example.
I suspect that I am prejudiced,be that as it may I do enjoy the flexibility of the V8 given that its torque is huge and even though isolated to a degree you soon get the message that it is a rapid car and one which requires an element of respect.
This particular example is a second owner car that was referred to me by a friend on the forum.
Thank you Philipus.
Bank 2 (5,6,7,8) with plug 8 requiring special cursing to extract.
It also requires a good plug socket which is magnetised so that you can extract it.
Bank 1 (1,2,3,4) and somewhere under there is plug 4.
If 8 requires special cuss words 4 requires a sangoma to throw the bones as well as a few chicken sacrifices.
Under all those cables and hoses is plug 4.
Respect to those who have changed their plugs without breaking into a song of profanity and throwing their spanners around the garage in frustration.
I found this interesting...look how dirty the brake fluid is taking bets that it was charged under mp but as evidenced here whether it was actually done is debatable. I could very well be wrong.
Every v8 I have done has had a leak on the overflow pipe/recirculation pipe.
