I was feeling my oats enough to get the Bimmer tires re-organized a few weeks ago. Then it came home with this, the 1st time time I took it out on the Bridgestones:
The funny thing was, I did not know it was dead flat before next time I almost got to the highway, except for the TPMS warning. Love the runflats! I’m starting to work through the process of some long term maintenance, coming up on 150k miles. It’s going to need belts, bushings, balancer, tensioner and maybe some new motor mounts and turbos. Bimmer Haus has a big job coming next month…
So with the little one outside, the big one came down from it’s lift perch for the 1st time in probably over 2 years. Accelerator pump is toast again, so I guess I’ll put another carburetor on it this time. Replacing the accelerator is a trivial, inexpensive task I’ve accomplished 3 or 4 times on these things, but it’s time consuming and I’ve never been able to get the carb(s) – on it’s 2nd AVS now) – tuned properly for altitude, so we’ll try a newer model Eddy 750. A 3-car garage holding 4 vehicles including a 91′ Dodge Cummins is tight. But with the 20-foot-long land barge on the lift, everything fits with the doors closed.
