  1. Back in the day it was hotwires or modgies, that's old school rota style. People keep to a style with 50s rods and customs because that's the style of the era. Old 50s cruisers all have steel wheels with caps, even though you could have any American wheel but they look silly with boyds or foose etc

  2. Just a couple of things to check. Make sure coil is not going through a ballast resistor and that it has good 12v. Can get really weird timing issues when not getting a full 12v. Also check that the floats don't have a tiny hole causing them to sink. Rake them out and make sure they don't have fuel inside. I had a sinking float and that was an ass to sort out

  3. When looking at BMW stuff I read that you need to replace the coolant tanks and lines as they get brittle and fail bad. Don't know if this was on your model but something to research on the web first. Also read on idle control valve, if it has one, as they can become clogged and just need a good clean out. I.e it may not be a sensor issue.

    I don't know BMW,s at all so take the above with a grain of salt but own a couple of euros around that vintage
