Probably is OEM.
No BMW dealer in my area.
My mechanic orders parts from a BMW dealer in another city.
It is actually quite remarkable that BMW still provides parts service on a 28 year old product.

Nothing to align.
The clutch lever assembly directs the cable straight into the attachment point.

Since you guys had the magic answer to my previously posted charging system problem, I'll throw another one at you. Third clutch cable in 4000 miles. They are failing adjacent to the lever, about 1/2 from the grab lug. Subsequent to my last replacement, I have been super lubricating the area, but is...

Generator bulb replaced.
Alternator output restored.

Thanks for the follow up inquiry. I am experiencing a charging system problem and not an ignition problem. It appears I have been operating on battery charge alone, and when the battery loses all potential, the cycle stops. The 13.7 v. was measured prior to the lamp failing. At that time I replaced ...

By statute, ETOH is optional in premium fuels, but in my area there is only one petroleum retailer selling ethanol additive free fuel. I have nothing against ethanol, I like to drink the stu...

I appreciate the continued great advice. The lead mechanic at the independent shop has many years of experience as a BMW mechanic and previously was service manager at a BMW dealership. His scheduled maintanance program does in fact include loosen the star nuts from the cylinders and reinstall the p...

It is possible that the tabs on the frame were bent. There are two, and the end of the stand slides between them. Check that out. Good call! The shop did a visual inspection and the problem indeed is in the area of the pin/bushing that attaches to the frame. The stand arm is noticably bent in that ...
