  • Welche kurbelwelle ist diese?

    Zitat von MrFreezer


    stroke would be "hub" in germany... the one that "hubraum" diverts from.


    Ok, live and learn :)


    For more than two years i have said to myself that i have to take some German lessons.. but somehow i never seem to get around to actually do it..

  • Welche kurbelwelle ist diese?

    Hallo,
    Nach einer neuen Diskussion auf der Yahoo E34M5 gruppe, möchte ich fragen, ob jemand hier diese Kurbelwelle kennt: Sie hat Anschlag (stroke) 92mm. Sie hat diesen Text auf ihr "BMW 1316679" und "42CRM04". Hatte irgendein BMW 6-cyl überhaupt den 92mm. Anschlag? Möglicherweise ein Alpina Modell?


    PS. Dieses ist Babelfish-Deutsch, ich hoffe daß es verständlich ist :)

  • What is a "Klopfregelung"?

    Dominik & Mad1980,


    Thank you for the translation.


    I am considering installing these:

    In a 3.8'er (3.9L ) for my trackcar, and the seller told me that i "might have to change the ignition system, because of the "Klopfregelung"."


    I agree that there is no knock sensor on the S38 engines, so it makes little sense to me

    Zitat von Raymond

    Skiing on the Schmittenhohe is nice, but remember that Zell is always very busy, especially during the holidays. One has to avoid the crowded red descents later on the day as almost anyone is taking these to go down. I'd rather take the old cabin lift in the middle of Zell. This one is not that crowded. The only way down there is either the cabin lift or the black descent. This one is not that difficult and I wouldn't concider it black, but it is not that crowded.


    I will remember that tip, thank you.
    Normally we go on the red pistes, but the occasional black one is also in order.
    Btw. The Gastein area was not that crowded, quite the opposite acctually.. very nice.

    Also well worth it is Saalbach/Hinterglemm. Especially the Zwolferkopf with it's black descent 'Zwolfer Nord' is a must be if one is an experienced skier.


    Last year we stayed in Saalbach/Hinterglemm, and that was my first time on skis since i was a child, and as you know my personal fitness condition is not exactly the greatest, so im far from experienced..
    I think that the black piste we took on the last day was the one you mention.. ofcourse i took ~50meters of it with my head towards the valley and my feet towards the sky :)
    I remember that we took a lift called "Zwolferkopfelbahn" or something like that, many times.


    For the next trip in week 10, it looks like we are limited to Zell am See, or the Gastein area, because of the late booking.
    And since we have just been in Bad Gastein, we would prefer to try some new area.. so looks like Zell am See.


    I wish you a nice trip, and a return in one piece :)
    How is your knee after the surgery?, ok for skiing?

    Finn,


    In the first week of March, I'll be in Austria too. Where are you going?


    It looks like it will be Zell am See, but we have not decided yet.. there is not many options with this late a booking.
    We have just returned from Bad Gastein, and agreed that if possible we wanted to go for one more week. Snow conditions was perfect :)


    Where are you going?

  • "Yellow plates" [English]

    Raymond,


    I agree completely on the stupidity of the importtax on cars.. remember that in Denmark it is ~4.5 times higher than in Holland!
    For my '91s, it would be ~20k Euro each today.
    In 2026 my cars are old enough to be registred as old-timers, and then the importtax will drop to something like 1k Euro :)


    The baseprice for an M3 CSL is 248k Euro in Denmark.
    Quite insane..


    When i first bought my M5 i checked for previous court decisions, and found that people with residence in Denmark, that was stopped for driving on other than Danish plates was forced to pay the importtax, and also recived a fine that is 10% higher than the importtax of the car they was driving.


    So to drive the car to and from the border on German plates, like you have done, is a big no-no in Denmark.
    Renting temporary plates (equivilant to German KKE) is the way to do it here.


    The reason i asked about the KKE plates and Austria, is that it looks like im going there in late Feb., and was concidering taking the M5 (not the track one), if it was possible with KKE plates.
    That car is not yet registred on German plates, but probably will be later this year (early summer). Just taking the plates from the trackcar and put them on the other one, would make the insurance invalid.

    Finn,
    No, it is not allowed to use a so called German KKE outside Germany...
    ...Driving to Austria with a KKE is something that I would not risk if I where you....


    Ok thanks, if its not legal i wont take the chance.. i dont want to be stopped by police more than 1000km from home, without the right licenseplates for that country :)
    Btw. Im getting the German season plates for the trackcar for 2004.


    I asked because the Danish equivilant to the German KKE can be used in Sweden and Norway also, and also Alfred from the Memorial Run used the German "Red Garage plates" in France, Switzerland and Italy, he got stopped on the border between France and Switzerland, and was told that the plates where not legal to use in France, but it was ok in Switzerland.
    So i thought that maybe Germany have an arrangement with Switzerland and Austria, that the plates are valid there also, but i guess that it is not so..


    And a side note:
    Because i now notice it, i have spotted atleast 5, maybe 10 cars in my home town on German KKE plates, in the last year.. those people are very brave, since it will cost them the importtax, and a fine about 10% higher than the importtax, if they are stopped.. strange that they will take that risk, i think..

  • Lightweight doors [English]

    Something for the specialists:


    Any idea where i can get some lightweight doors and/or
    trunklid for the E34?
    Im thinking about fiberglass or carbonfiber.


    I have been completely unable to find any company that offers this, but they must be out there?

    Hello Finn,


    I have read all about that on the memorial run and m5board forums, but I won't move later then the first WE of September or else we face the risk of closed passes.


    Raymond,
    It was the Memorial event i was hoping they would not plan for first WE of sebtember. Not the Alps tour.
    Btw. i have tried convincing Ralph (Vadas1) from Memorial Run that he needs to take part in next years Alps meeting, he was positive to the idea..


    France sounds great btw.. any chance we will get to drive some of the same passes we see the riders do battle on every year, during the Tour de France cycling?


    Regarding the letter i got from Switzerland:
    This evening i have spoken to some friends about the case, and think there is a fair chance we have come up with a solution that will prevent the Police from issuing a ticket to me. I will let you know how it goes ;)
