Well hi there. Reporting from an other side of the world. Latvia, Riga (Northen Europe, Baltic states). After owning bmw`s almost all my life, this time I decided to try something different.
I sold my BMW 520i E28 summer car and here it is, my new financial mistake.
Its an pretty low mileage (150k km) `95. X300 XJ6. No extras, no nothing (only white leather and A/C). One wheelarch is completely rusted out and gone (I dunno why), but the rest of the body is pretty mint. Engine leaks coolant somewhere underneath the intake manifold (I think this must be the water rail, and I hope that the engine block is not cracked lol ), and the car goes like a dog and stalls, when you give it a full throttle. It also smells of petrol and steams a bit. I think that its running very rich and something is wrong with the O2 sensors and or air flow meter.
So, looks like that I have a new garage project for myself and so far I found tons and tons of good info in this forum. Beware, I`ll be asking dumb questions all the time.

Yessir, will do!
Thanks! I`ll get to that leak ASAP, but since it`s pretty cold out there and my garage doesn`t have any sort of heating, i`ll do it as soon as it will be possible to hold a wrench in my hand and not freezing to death.
Don`t worry, of course, i`m not driving it with that leak - it just sits in my backyard waiting for some sunny days to come.
