    Zitat von Koizumi;77575

    Daily driver for me here in Los Angeles for the past 3+ years. I will be sharing the daily driving duties with a mint 5-speed E24 next month.

  • do you use your 8 daily?

    :winkwink: Mine is a nice weather daily driver, about 10.000 - 14.000 km per year - :hmmmm: normally - in 2010 there will we the minus record I suppose!
    Rainy english climate since months :banghead: not like in early April when I took this photo...

    [FONT=&quot]This rebuild is with the prototype looms that will now be going into production for me. I have requested a batch of 10 pairs initially. If you are interested, let me know. Looms are all clearly labelled...... [/FONT]

    Zitat von rcrad6653;76443

    What about us Pergament guys Harry? My front's are looking a bit tired and I'll be concentrating on the interior soon.



    :winkwink: Randy, bad news for you, currently available: black, anthracite and grey

    :winkwink: RHD guys, moulding tool is existent, so if you manage a binding order of 5 sets/color we can get the production started. :top:

    Hi Andre

    Zitat von Fatandre;76424

    pics soon, price € 98,- plus shiping - this color or black, clips included.



    That´s right, but I didn´t refer about RHDs, this was for LHDs only:

    NLA:

    front: silbergrau, tobago, calypso

    rear: silbergrau, tobago

    BUT:

    for silbergrau(black and anthracite too) we have a solution since a few weeks, from the original producer, original clips included, only the embracing is a little bit different






    ok, OT no "BMW" embroidered - but cheaper and wonderful quality! :P

  • CSi/M tech mirrors

    :winkwink: would you please be so kind to take the exact measurements of the mirror and hausing l/r and the stays, please?
    No, sorry, don´t need them, but I´m curious whether the 8-RHD-CSi mirrors are as different as the LHDs.
    LHD driver side - or better said - left side mirror is 7 mm bigger than the one of the right side, the stays are 18 mm longer.
    Thanks in advance! :top:

  • Pause before power comes in?

    Zitat von schnitz850;75875

    :laugh: I'm having fun...

    Now all I have to do is sneak the bits I want cleaning past SWMBO and into the new Dishwasher... :harhar: :harhar:



    :rofl:I see, you´re addicted to having fun - strange kind of fun btw :grin2:

  • Pause before power comes in?

    Zitat von stevep840;75737

    ...there is a lag before the power comes in, for example exiting a roundabout at 30 mph, accelerate then the pause before the power, it's fine afterwards but is always the same at lower speeds??

    Any ideas?...



    :winkwink: Steve

    this is the sadest awareness if you compare the performance of an 850i/M70 8 with a M60 or M62 840 that you had before( I suppose).
    The throttle response of the M70 is as bad as it can be, untill you change to Wokke V2 performance chips! :top:

  • Koenig E31

    :winkwink: I´m reffering to Mr. Steiner from Albrex:

    Only three M70 SC 6,0l where built.
    Since the critical border of raising the engine displacement was nearly exeeded, we had to lower the sc pressure comparing with the 5,0l - so the benefit was not that conclusive.
    We only won between 30 and 40 HP - not very economic if you compare it with the immense effort to get a 6,0l engine...
    All these engines where implantated in E31s.


    And Walter Koenig told me:

    We never made a 6,0l KS8 - I only know of one unsatiesfied customer who wanted more than ~ 450 HP and got an engine from H&H Motorsport.
    But this engine - and the company too - detonated a long time ago... :aetsch:
