Thanks for the clarification. I'm new to Bimmers, and have a '90 535i with automatic tranny.

Anyhow, I'd read somewhere that the original banjo bolts had problems, so were superceded/replaced. I do not know if the banjo bolts in my car were ever upgraded, or how to tell the difference between new and old types, or if the whole story is even correct.

So, any further light you can shed on the banjo bolt story for M30 engines would be most appreciated.
