  • Rear spoiler opinions

    TallTony, There are a couple more photos of the "lip spoiler" in my gallary. I looked at the Zeemax rear deck spoiler , but it was priced too high . I thought that it would unbalance the look of the car , since I have done no modifications to the front spoiler.

  • After market brake pads

    I am looking for a good aftermarket brake pad upgrade to go with my Brembo cross drilled rotors. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Pad and supplier if you know of one. Richard

  • MODIFICATION CHIPS....

    I recently purchased the 850vien chips for my 850i. Took them to a local DEALER to install ,while they were doing some other work on my car. When the tech tried to start the car it would not fire. Wokke has a good reputation. If I had it to do over again , I would pay the extra dollars and do the install right the first time. Richard

  • EVIL!!!!!! Please read

    Say man, what are you trying to do to us? This is a baaaad omen. I'm going to keep my 850 in the garage for at least 3 months (until this blows over). Back in the 70's I parked my 2800cs (new paint) At the very back of a resturant parking lot ,so it would be safe. Some dumb ass parked his Mercury right next to me, swung his door open and put a nice 3 inch ding in the passanger side door. I was luckier than you ...... his car was still there when I left the resturant ( fresh Fijord blue metallic paint still stuck to the edge of his door). I promptly ( in RAGE!) proceeded to cave his driver door in with two or three powerful kicks. It's too bad you were't able to get your revenge on the dolt that ruined your day.

  • Battery drain

    Thanks guys, I checked the batteries and they were installed in 2002. I tried to put a real charge in them. The car started that evening ,but in the morning it barely groned. Ill be replacing them this week. Richard

  • Battery drain

    I drive my 850 very infrequently.... 3 to 4 times a week. I am having a tough time keeping a charge in the batteries. I purchases a trickle charge but it never seems to give the battery a complete charge ( indicator light is always red and never turns to green). Should I put a second charger on the other battery? Would this help the situation? Any thoughts or suggestions? Richard

  • Just some Pics

    Hey Mate..................... Isn't your car parked on the wrong side of the street ? Or did you just reverse the image?

  • e32 Differential swap

    Terry,Theo
    My 91 is a 6-speed. the 3.64 ratio should be a definite performance inproovement. Theo, mentioned inserting the gear set from one diff to another. would I be able to replace the gears in my stock diff with the gears from the 3.64 diff that i mentioned in my previous post?

  • Sunroof will not tilt

    I have no problem with my sunroof sliding back to open. I can not get it to tilt open. I thought someone out there might be able to give me a hint as to what to look for/at before I start to dig into the problem any further. Richard
