Rust
Non a spot on mine. But i have seen pictures of rust in front of the hood. I think its because water remains between the rubber gasket and the hood.
It's just one way to avoid rust. Use the car at sumertime in good weather, and never leave it wet in the garage.
Looking forward to see more pictures of your unique car.
Etter tips og inspirasjon fra Daniel under E31 treffet i Stavanger, satt jeg på en
en Batt+ (dummy) fra E39. Koster ikke mer en 120,- tot for del 20 og 21.
Skrudde fast med korte 5 mm maskin skruer.
Detailing = Terapy ?
Kids and girlfriend away for some hours. What shall i do.
Pictures dedicated to Daniel. It's better, but fare from perfect.
The trip/drive over the mountain gave me a feeling inside that is impossible to explain.
Hope to see all of you some time.
Jobbit (hard work)
You should have received the price Daniel. I only washed my car one time. And not the inside of the rims. Had a very nice drive over the mountain with german alpina guys. What a weekend. Hope to see you all soon.
Shaft Seal
I found the part. It is number 7.
Anyone replaced it before ?
Can anybody help me to specify the partnumber on a gasket located at the right side on the auto transmission were the kickdown wire connect.
It's not a big leak, but i think it's a good idea to replace it combined with a oil and filter change on the transmission.
Trodde det skulle mye til for at 8-serien ruster.
Sjekk bilde. All rust i front av panser ved lykter.
Bilen er fra USA
Model Car
I was lucky to find a silver model in scale 1 / 18, same colour as my 840. Bought it on a Sportscar meeting at Øvrevoll in Oslo. The small ones have been repainted.
Norwegian meeting
You are doing a great job guys. I really hope many norwegians "wake up" and join the meeting. Could be years to next one in Norway if this meting will be aranged.
Just wonder if you guys change oil on the transmissoin. Some says its
a liftime oil. But what is liftime. Our cars will last for more years than "normal cars" . So what is the best ? Every 5 years ?
I know that this topic has been listed before, but it is such a normal failure and such a easy fix, so i repeat it.
It's part 11/12
1 Remove the plastic cover to locate the screw (torx) 20
2 Pull back the seatcover to locate the screw for the lever (torx) 25
3 Pull out the broken lever and replace with a new. (BMW has modified the lever so they are stronger than the old ones.)
I completely agree. I never get tired of looking at the eight. But actually i think our cars look better in real than in pictures. Very often i go 2-3 meters away from the car to admire the lines.
I took this picture toaday in a Norwegian Folk Museum in Bygdøy near Oslo.
Our cars beginning to get quit old, but not that old.
Treff
Hei igjen, har skrevet mail til Terje og oppfordet til og få flere deltakere til treffet ved og oppmuntre til dagsturer dersom man synes en helg blir mye.
Ønsker også at vi holder et møte med alle deltakere der tema er velikehold, og være beredt på problemer vi kan få med bilene våre i fremtiden. (rust elektronikk osv) Jeg savnet litt faglig på forrige treff. Nå har vi sjansen til å dele erfaringer.
Flashlight
Thanks for the tip. A little bit overpriced i agree.
Aprox 40 euro in Norway.
Will this flashlight fit in my 1993 840 ci ?
Treff
Jeg satser på og komme på treffet. Det blir spennende å se om arbeidet som gjøres med og registrere 8-Serie eiere i Norge fører til at det kommer noen biler herfra.
Data e31
Bra jobba,
Håper vi får til et norsk treff i 2010
