- Came out of a 1987 535is 5-speed with 177K miles, for no good reason.
- Recent dyno results at 176K miles on 4/11/14: 172.72 rwhp / 188.01 rwtrq @ 5500 rpm.
- PPI at 170K miles showed compression of 175, 150, 175, 175, 175, 175
- Burns 1qt of oil every 1500-2000 miles.
- Plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires all replaced (Bosch) at 172k.
- Blackstone Oil Analysis done at 177k. "Lead was a little high in this sample, but everything else looks great. Universal averages show
typical wear for the 3.4L BMW M30 engine after ~4,300 miles on the oil. Your run was a bit longer, and most
metals fell in line accordingly. We expect iron to track directly with time on the oil, and the other metals
should stay pretty close to average even if you run longer on the oil next time. No contamination was found
in the sample, and the oil was physically in good shape, so we don't see any reason why you can't go longer
on the next oil. Try 7,000 miles and check back." - PO (87k miles - 172k miles) was more anal retentive than even I. Fed nothing but top grade oil. I use Brad Penn.
- Pulled from car with care. Nothing cut.
- Includes PS pump, 90A alternator (new regulator), B34 wiring harness, injectors, plugs, ECU, AFM, and intake boot.
- Does NOT include fan, AC compressor, or air cleaner assembly.
- PO had oil pump, tension rail, timing chain, oil pump chain, tension piston, chain tensioner, sprocket cams all replaced at 112k due to "Oil pressure problem"
- PO had oil pump tensioner replaced again at 167K miles.
- Needs: Starter (solenoid fails to engage 25% of time). Deal INCLUDES a used SR441X starter.
- Wants: Rear main seal might be leaking (oil pressure sender definitely was, but that was fixed...no leaks after, but that was for only about 200 miles).
- Wants: Head gasket WAS leaking at intersection of head & timing covers. This was fixed with some externally applied FPIG gasket maker and a tightening of the timing cover bolts. No leaks in 2000+ miles.
