That's a good choice if you want to use a carburetor, which I would strongly recommend

Wondering if Alex will post in the thread to explain or something.
Sorry to hear about your engine man..
Especially since you put all that money in your car I'd imagine you would not want to get a different e39 M5 and would rather repair yours..
Goodluck my friend..

What.. No one wants to try and fit a 9.4L 572 CI chevy engine in there?

And this is what happens when you don't use 10w60.


Kidding aside, can anyone get a hold of Alex and have him post here? I realize that it may not be in his best interest, but it's worth asking.
