MV's BMW Page !!!

	This is my '86 320i BMW. It's a 2 liter 6 cylinder in-1-line engine with aprox. 125 pk(92kW)@5800 rpm. And aprox. 170Nm@4000rpm. Bought at 200.545 km. Mechanical engine improvements that I've done on the car are a DTM exhaust and K&N Airfilter (Cone type). I would advise everybody to put a DTM exhaust on his/her BMW it sounds very nice !!! (P.S. when this picture was taken the DTM wasn't on the car.) If you maintain such a car correctly and drive it hard only with a warm engine, it last for long.
Troubles that I've had with the car are: Water in the trunk; Waterdrains of sunroof were completly rusted trough (+/- 2 days to fix, including removal of back window). The drains were fixed with polyester and some fast hardening glue. Bad exhaust; DTM !! Which I should have replaced MUCH earlier. Bad rubber tube between engine's injector head to air volume meter. Worn rubbers at the back shock absorber mounts(bushings); Completely renewed. Worn Shift lever; Completely renewed. Driver's window rubber replaced, less wind noise. It was loosened by ??? New front tyres, were swapped with the rear ones. Worn front control arm bushings, replaced, steering wheel doesn't begin to bounce at certain speeds. Replaced extra air valve, open when engine not warm, with a electric one from 525i. This was diagnosed when I warmed up the engine and closed the valve with a whine bottle cork. New valve is connected to the petrol pump relay. Replaced valve cover's gasket. Showed some leakage. Think it's not replaced when distribution belt was replaced.
"Troubles" that are still there: Oil consumption; 1l at 3000 km/1500 miles. Especially when driveing at 4000+ rpm. Head revision costs about $800, ? 700 when let done by a specialized garage. Needed new rear tires (215/60 ??? 205/60 Now....) and shocks for back and front. Rear wheel chassis are rust-eaten (very much on the passengers site). The car was sold on 10th of June 2000 at 223685 km. And replaced by a '92 525i with 247000 km, of which a picture is shown below !!
