For this reason I have equipped my 850 with only one battery, which has a larger capacity of 100 Amp/hour.

...
Many greetings

I also did this Mod a couple of years ago and never regretted

Oh well... that's affordable.
For my 840 I would pay 217€ for that hose No.1

I am pretty sure this hose is one piece.
If it weeps on the connection to the Pentosin Reservoir you could just need a better clamp... or try to tighten the existing one.
Actually you should hope it is just the clamp, because hydraulic hoses are not cheap!

Apparently 275/40/17 tyres are available and the closest match to OEM. There will be a slight speedo error but nothing too extreme.

255/40/17 ist actually the closest to OEM...
A close call but so it is

Here is the source for the above graph. Apologies for the non-scientific journal

Is it a metallic paint? It almost looks like one...

And by the way... you shuold better remove the paint from those Ground Pins behind the strut mounts
Anyway, looking very fine so far

Here is a bar graph (dated 2019) - all the red bar cars ought to be banned from inner city traffic (here Frankfurt) were NOX rules applied throughout the range. The best emissions classification one can have here for an E31 is "Euro2" - still a red bar in the graph shown below. I think that our rules are/were not as strict though as those imposed in London.

This is indeed intersting stuff...

Anyway, I tend to understand the situation like this: these numbers showed in your graph are just the legal limit values for the different Euro classes.
This won't imply, that one car actually emits this amount of NOx in real life. So if BMW says and certify that your car doesn't has NOx emission, then so it is... and you get a blue sticker

I used Google Translate on Hobie's reply, ... computer said "no".

Oh, don't worry about it... I think he just had one Bavarian Beer more than usual
As far as I can translate, he said: nice car!

the specialist repairer failed to find any fault codes - that's hardly surprising as there are no electronics in it - just the motor and ten solenoids.
...

Just having the same thoughts!!!
Great specialist...

Oh...
Sad to hear you are selling

Für das, was ich sehen kann, hat sich das Schrauben an deinem 8er gelohnt!

I have the original Business CD from 1997 in my car and I can play self burned CDs.
I am sure, it is just a matter of the right Format (and maybe also the right Medium).
You surely need a proper CD burning program...

Hi Timm,
if you read this, you should know that I owe you a beer! At least!!!
I am going to tell a story...

Back in 2014 I was aiming to change my PVC and my Head Cover Gasket...

8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/42796/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/42797/

ending to this situation in my engine bay:

8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/42798/

All went well and good... but in the end a small piece was left , which looked like a cable holder:

8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/42799/

No matter what I did and how I searched, nowhere seemed to be lacking of a cable holder... So this situation lasted for 6 years... with the remaining piece laying alone in my storage.
Then a few days ago I was watching this YouTube video from you, just for the pleasure of it:

then BANG!!! I saw the enlightenment!

8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/42800/

Now I finally know where this holder is at home! (Fuel line holder in the outer back corner of the left bank)
All done, time for a cup of tea!

So if you one day are landing to the Frankfurt Airport for any reasons, give me a call, I owe you a beer! Good old german beer... chemical free!
Thank you for your engagement!

Unfortunately I couldn't find any picture of it, but on the M62 I know is placed in the intake manifold

A lot of joints are supposed to work exacly like this. No pivoting at all but just flexing rubber.
It is also the case for the lower shock-absorber mount... just be sure to tighten the bolt in the 90° position, i.e. when the car is on ist own wheels.

By the way
I also had a painful rattling noise in that area... It turned out to be the shock absorber itself, making noise inside.

So... for the record: Job done!

The problem was, I greased the dust covers with ATE Bremszylinderpaste:

8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/41201/

just like I was used to do with floating calipers and ATE repair kits according to their instructions.
Unfortunately this way the greasy dust covers just sprang back out of their seats...

Rubber ungreased, seat cleaned and... here you are!

8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/41202/

Thank you very much for your answer, I sincerely appreciate.
So it's now for me just a matter of finding out the right socket to press the dust covers
And yes: Rust was basically only on the rear calipers

Hi Angus!
That looks like a top job!
Remarkably I am doing right now exactly the same job on my 840
I hadn't the chance to sand blast the calipers on my own, so I just brushed them rust clean, sprayed an epoxy rust primer, then spayed the caliper paint in three coats.
I like to say that I used the Foliatec paint, and I was very glad with the results. Indeed I used for my E46 another brand, which didn't made me as satisfied as Foliatec

Now I'd really like to know:
How did you pressed the dust covers seals in their seats once the pistons were already pushed into the pot?
They have a nasty snap ring which is making me mad...
