Picked up this '89 Cirrusblau-metallic/tan e30 a few weeks ago. Brought it home and left the next day on business. Came home a few days ago and finally got to work on it. The wife got it registered and inspected for me while I was gone.

Hey! That was my brother-in-law's car. Glad to know it went to a good new owner.

Ahh, thats where Joe's car went. I still want to see it in person.

Very nice, quick question. How did u clean ur engine bay? Mine is very dirty, full of grease, dirt, leaves, and webbs. Do you all recommend pressure washing, if you covered up parts. If so what parts.

Although I didn't have any leaves or webs, it was pretty dirty and greasy. I would recommend vacuuming any loose leaves, dirt, webs, etc. At first I tried engine degreaser by Engine Brite,; didn't work too well. Tried Purple Power, better, but didn't remove the cosmoline. Hit it up with Simple Green Max...wow! That with a toothbrush, grout brush and microfiber sponge, it came out really nice! Umm the only thing I covered up was the distributor cap. Good luck!

Tuff Stuff and a Woolite solution. Sprayed on, scrubbed with a brush and used the Little Green Pro heat.

Changed my timing belt, accessory belts, plugs, filters, water pump, etc... and threw on my valve cover:





Doing a coolant flush now with Lubro-moly radiator flush. Question...can I use this g12 coolant? Or would it be better to get OEM BMW blue coolant?
