ENGINE
A strong point of the BMW vehicles of this era is the infamous M30 six cylinder engine - legenday for it's smoothness and durability. The engine in my car ran strong
and didn't use any oil. It's running with new plugs, distributor cap and rotor, fan belts, and air filter. The valves were adjusted and the oil rail banjo bolts secured with Loctite. Mobil 1 was used
and there were no oil leaks. The ICV hose to the manifold was replaced with new. The radiator expansion tank is new, and BMW recommended non-phosphorus anti-freeze is used.
