hi there,
im new to the world of owning my dream car (1991 E34 M5) and new to
this forum and was hoping that i could get some advice. i have a 1991 M5 which has done 120K miles and is in fair condition, but for one problem. the car smokes when ever you accelerate at anything more than a gentle pace. i dont give my car the thrashing of its life but would like to use some of its legandery performance.
the car has just had the head stripped and skimmed to get it flat, all new valve stem seals and 2 valves replaced which were suspect.
this has cured the problem to some extent, but it still smokes if you try and give it moderate acceleration.
i was just wondering if any of you could shed light as to what could still be causing this problem?
i dont want to get rid of the car...but at the same time im not wealthy enough to take it to BMW to get them to sort it out.
any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks
