Re:

When the car cuts out the rev counter drops and the ignition lights come. The temp gauge has a mind of its own as goes up into the red at times but the car if deffently not overheating and if you hit the top of the dash it drops back to half way.

Re: Engine keeps cutting out.

I've removed the alarm and it still does it and the relays on the inner wing have been replaced. It is loosing all power to the fuel pump. The car dies at this point then will re start after a min or two then die after another min or so driving.

Engine keeps cutting out.

I've just bought an 1987 325i cabriolet which has an intermittent cutting out problem. It only seems to do it when it gets up to running temperature. Person I bought it from thinks it may be an issue with the alarm what's fitted but not in use. Just wondered if anybody else has had the same problem ...

Re: best engine

328 lump would be better than the 535 but I'm sure its a lot of work which ever one you decide. The easyest would be to put the 2.5 m20 engine in as thats just plug and play.
