Some of you may be following my thread on bimmerforums http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=608580
I posted in there too but I could always use some more suggestions.


Cliff notes, lol:


got a new 530!

$hit.. but on the way home.. there was oil in coolant and coolant in the oil

why didn't the owner tell me

oh wait.. it's not that bad.. we'll make it a nice project

got the parts.. putting it together

$hit.. won't start

we'll figure it out.. probably something small




damnit.. still can't figure it out..


Running out of time .. getting colder...






Basically the car keeps turning over and not starting, obviously. I've checked everything under the sun. Theoretically, it should start if it has fuel, oxygen, spark, and compression. Fuel pressure is good, brand new OEM spark plugs, no vaccum leaks, getting air, coils were tested and give great spark, compression is 140-150 and holding in all cylinders.

Everything is connected, full coolant, new oil, all gaskets from the heads up are new. Only thing not connected is one side of the exhaust.

Please help!
