What is that and what has it done with my spark plug?

.....
The power of the V8 is addictive, so I have problems with wanting to get rid of it. I think it just needs a rebuild from the ground up, instead of piecemeal.

As the owner of '95 540i, I totally agree w/ your statement.

Anyway, I may have an option for you...
If my 540i needs a transmission replaced ($4-5K), I will have to sell it & move on.
(Yes, it's a kind of hard for me to see it get scrapped.)

I am the 3rd owner...it's 540i w/ M60 "original" nikasil block, running smooth, only 87+K miles & has the maintained jobs done by BMW dealers (until I bought it in 2005 & I do it myself). New brake pads, new coolant reservoir, new plugs, new radiator & belts were replaced in 2008-9...yes, by myself.

If you are interested, pls PM me.

Wow, thought I had answered this thread.

Well I had my car in at the mechanic for another reason and he took a look at it and pulled out a valve cover gasket washer, so who/m ever said that, congrats.
