Was it also common to the late e32's and early e38's with the V-8 engines? I have been thinking of purchasing an e32.

It is blocked by the two hoses/pipes from the bottom... you really gotta try to see past it. Passenger side. Use flashlight to aim at it.

Last weekend I finally got around to checking it out once and for all, I found that I am in fact a member of the club . Aside from Jeff and I, who else here's got a nikasil enhanced e34?

"Nikasil is not only lighter but...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

displaces about 1.5 hp per cc more than an identical Alusil block."

Jeff,
How did you figure this out? Don't you have a 3liter engine? That's alot of CC's! That thing must fly!

lets put out a call for anyone who has had their personal V8 affected by the nikasil problem. not heard about, or had a friend, but actually had their vehicle have compression failure and need block replacement.

I am pretty sure I still have the nikasil, and it idles smooth and the car rips when I put the hammer down!
