Re: Boots with rear shock absorbers

No, I don't think so. Not likely to endure 20 years, but then again, neither do the OEs.

Re: To fix or restore...? Or is it time to end things?

My experience restoring my W126 has taught me that it's not a good idea unless you have thirty to forty thousand dollars, despise the car's appearance, and have strong emotional ties to it.

Having said that, I get the impression from what you mentioned that you may have quite high standards. The ...

Re: B18 Sensor for Altitude and Pressure

Neither the 380 nor any other K-Jet makes use of an ambient air pressure sensor. Later KE-Jet injection models, such as the 560, made use of an ambient pressure sensor, which I believe you are mentioning.

Re: Cin2 is not present in the N51/N52 models.

Good day. On occasion, our beasties behave in such a manner. They have late-night conversations and occasionally conspire. The "look at me" moment, however somewhat dramatic, occurred when your N52 became envious. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

The mileage is rather high. There may have been a VANOS recall in the past, but the ...

Re: Cin2 is not present in the N51/N52 models.

So, how wide is it? Are you able to quantify that?

Taking the valve cover off will allow you to examine the inside better.

Re: Compatible with E36 wheels. 17/9. Friction, fender roll, and offsets

I have three sets of 17x9 et42s (Apex, TR motorsports, and LTw5) and use 10-12 MM spacers up front, much as golgo13. I also have fender rolling, but I just installed it in case I wanted to run slightly larger tires (245 Hoosier A/R7s). I use 10-12 MM spacers up front and have three sets of 17x9 et42 ...

Re: Compatible with E36 wheels. 17/9. Friction, fender roll, and offsets

There was no fuss when I ran 17x9 ET42 with a 10mm spacer up front; they fit perfectly.
