Sounds like excessive blow-by, you need an M50 swap.

Let's hope so. The N54 is a monster but as the N54 cars get older/fewer on the road, if they can nail down good aftermarket turbo solutions for the N55 it will create a pretty big additional market of cars for people to buy if they want to go fast and run on the N5x platform.  I'm still definitely going to wait and see over the next 9 months. If all goes well, I'll just cross my fingers that bonus is good this year and I can jump onboard - the turbo is only 2500 bucks which is pretty manageable, but also need to throw in several hundred for a new LPFP, meth kit, and a new clutch. Luckily there is an E85 gas station in Oconomowoc about 7 minutes from my house. otherwise it would be impossible where I live, unless I don't run E85. but then I can't run as strong of a tune and semi-defeats the purpose of upgrading the turbo.

Just sent you a message.

Oh and BTW, APRIL FOOLS!!! (yeah, yeah, yeah ... I know I'm late) http://baurspotting.blogspot.com/2011/04/1981-e21-baur-ad.html

I went to Al's in butler once but they had just crushed all the Bimmers they had. According to Google that business is closed now if anyone else can confirm.

Thanks. Looks like that's exactly what it is. I'm reading some do an oil cooler delete and replace it with a threaded pipe joint from eta cars. Has anyone done this and/or can recommend it?

From the reading I have done OE is the way to go.  I haven't had any issues in the 45k since I rebuilt my m50 and I hit redline every time I drive it. [image: :)]  I miss driving it...

bump for the best looking coupe bmw has ever made!

I used to hang out with some of these dudes when I was in Germany. Many/most of them were US Military guys. It wasn't easy keeping up in the E30...

So on the way back from the gym. Got it.

Nope

Phew! Phew! Phew! FRIGGEN LASERS!!!

CMart said: Also the center part of the rim was bigger than what is on the E30. How big of a problem is that? Get some hubcentric rings to make them tight otherwise u could get some shake and possibly shear off studs. BMW's are hubcentric.

Guy from Campbellsport right?

REKIII said: Awesome. I'll throw in some cash to promote the FB page. I'd get a small chubby if Wisconsin BMW's surpassed the members of BMW's of Wisconsin. (as a note, the small chubby is not for only mediocre excitement, but rather my extremely small endowment) I think I still have some ad credits, $15 went a long way last time we did some ads. I don't think "groups" can be promoted though, just "pages".

Yup super sprint or find a group buy for the old Bav Auto headers if you want perfect fit. IE is good value but may need some persuasion.
