Resolved: The positive battery wire looked ok and felt 'pretty good' but moved a hair and had a bit of corrosion not visible w.out removing the...
Thanks gents. To wit starter hasn't been rebuilt, and the battery was replaced about two+ years back. Will start w.load test and checked...
'86 Euro with no history of starting issues today wouldn't turn over after running about and starting 3x within about two hours. Starter relay ok,...
What are the likely sources of oil leaking that's burning off/smoking from under the front bank between the firewall and front bank. Not enough to...
Bruh....23Kmi over 18yrs?! Practically a garage queen! heh I had about 29Kmi on my 86 328 (RIP, I think, unless someone salvaged her from...
My search fu may just be weak, but not finding anything specific re: accessing presumably a bolt or two securing the front quarter panel...
I dunno, but my euro 328 was totaled April '22, and as I stressed to the insurance appraiser the fact my car was a (grey market) Euro (no cats,...

Boom!
Mine is a GTS. That car looks like a B. Great pics - cool to see how that’s done.
Do a search for my user name - I had a similar issue with many helpful technical replies (esp from Steve Magnusson), and it turned out to be a...
To wit the SF shields were not original on the 328. These metal shields (on an 86 Euro) are laid into a recess - would this require stamping...
Holy crap I'm a dumbazz...drained the gear oil as Steve thought. Occams razor - should've known when it was taking so much oil! Thanks gents.
It's been a spell since I changed either, but as I recall (and that may be my issue) the gear oil drain is farther under/towards the front. My...
First, I've done at least a dozen oil changes on my 328 (and dozens more on other cars), so I'm well-versed in F oil change nuances, always been...
Turned up stowed in the trunk.
