        I'm going to have to turn down the offer from Sales.

        The parking lot is not low car approved.

            The only question will be how is this sold in the U.S.?  I can't imagine Renault will open dealers for one car.  They already partner with Nissan so is this going to be rebadged?

              This. I can't imagine that Alfa Romeo will even do well enough to keep their dealers open for more than 2 years. I don't see why any dealer group pay millions to open a new store that will sell 2 models, one of which being a relatively expensive limited production sports car.

                I hate FB groups.

                "I'm gonna make purists shit their pants with my 5.0 swapped e30!1!1!".... No one - especially "purists" gave two shits about your 4 door piece of shit to start with.... With or without the 5.0 swap.

                      My e34 sputtered a little, but refused to start this morning. Came home from work, tried again, and it started right up.....

                      neat. 😐

                          couplefew.

                          EFI cars seem to get confused if they stumble and don't start, so maybe that's the issue. I had the engine lose power and almost die once while I was leaving for work, but then it came back suddenly. I was thinking it was an icy fuel line (it was real cold...), but now I'm leaning towards fuel pump...? We shall see... At least I have a back-up vehicle for the time being.

                          Time being... Time.. being...

                            My e36 dislikes being started and run for a very short time, like less than a minute. The next startup after that is rough. Not sure what causes that but it's a fresh tight engine with less than 50k on it. Did you run yours a very short time the previous run cycle?

                              same thing for m60 e34s. they are known to flood if you run it for a short time (seconds) than shut it off because of the massive fuel dump on startup. ask me how i know.

                                It did that to me a few times but Snap had told me that leaky injectors could be the culprit. My coupe doesnt the same rough start thing as mentioned above too

                                  On a cold start you will have the following fuel added on top of what is required to idle the engine:

                                  Priming pulse

                                  Cold start enrichment

                                  After start enrichment

                                  WOT during cranking will stop firing the injectors to allow a flooded engine to clear. 

                                  One set of injectors I had would leak to the point where I would get a bit of a hard-start after it sat overnight. It was a very slight and subtle leak but it was even more fuel added to the list above

                                    I had an injector leak that caused the engine to "hydrolock". Pulled the spark plug, cranked it over for a split second, shot fuel across the garage. Fun stuff!

                                          So FedEx put me on part time so I ended up finding a new job. I'm going be driving the PlayStation tour truck from April till end of October across the country to music festivals, air shows, comicon, etc. Should be a fun summer but bummed I'm gonna miss the whole car show season.

                                          That's the schedule with last years dates still thought, hopefully some of you will stop by at summerfest!
