standing

I've just picked up an E21 which I've had my eye on for years. My car has been standing for a good few years in a garage which fortunately enough was pretty dry. It's not completely escaped rust around the exposed metal and edges along sill, suspension components etc, but has done well and the...

Hi everyone. I am new on this site, but I believe I have come to the right place for some good advice. I have had a 316TI Compact (2002)[/B] standing in a garage and untouched, for 3 years. It was moved on to the drive way for a further 6 months, then driven about 4-500 Km to Denmark, where it...

I hope I am posting this at the right place. We own a Beemer as above mentioned and since about 2 weeks the car has been revving. It goes from 0.7 to 1.3 when standing at a traffic light or idling, and sometimes also rough idles. When I change gears(manual) it also revvs far higher than it...

Hi All, I am the happy owner of a reasonably recently acquired E39 530D Touring after the injection pump of my trusty E34 525TDS sprung a leak (but that is for another thread). I love it, as it is much more sophisticated but a little less involved to drive than the E34. However, today a new...

Hello everyone, Firstly this is relating to an E32, but E32 forums don't get very much traffic and it's M30 related more than anything so thought I'd try you guys, please don't move this to the 7 series forum! Anyway, I got my E32 today, it's not really been driven for close to a decade...

Hi folks, For reasons I won't bore you with, my motorbike has been standing idle for around 6 months - possibly more. I've decided to get my finger out and get it road legal. Any pointers before I try starting it for the first time? Take the plugs out and turn it over - squirt oil down the bores...

Hi, I need some help, my 318is coupe was driving fine last week, then i went away for a long weekend and left it standing not being used at all for 4 days. When i was on my way back I noticed a loss in power every now and then on the motorway, but it would pick up and start working again. It...

Hi my 2003 735I has been in storage for nearly three years. Its hasn't been started for quite a while now as the battery went flat. Its covered 96k and even though it isn't due a service I was going to take it for a full one before I get her back on the road. I was wondering should I use engine...

Hi Guys, Haven't been using my 318is coupe for some time but have been starting it to let it warm up & quick drive up and down the road. However, I haven't done it for a month and tried it last night - this is what happened; 1. Ignition on and dashboard lights light up 2. Turn the ignition...
