Re: injector question

Dude there was a thread where a man changed his 325 injectors to m50 2litre injectors as they had the same flow rates as the 325 m20 injectors but 4 pintles as oposed to 1 which altered the spray pattern and he claimed gave the car better midrange power

Manual transmission oil

Bmw recomend using SAE 80 or single grade mineral based engine oil . Has anybody used 75w-90 synthetic with the same API GL4 specification as Bmw recomend. Ive heard of people changing from single grade to multi grade in manual discovery's resulting in a much improved all round performance.
