Well, a good old Italian tuneup should hopefully fix that, then I will change the oil out for some LL04

Bpmull wrote: » I hope the petrols aren't as fussy. As this BMW is a friends and he just through a load of 5w40 into it. But that's not even the biggest issue it's burning about 2 litres of oil a week and even though I warned him to get it checked a few weeks ago he let oil go so low the dreaded low oil pressure light came on which went off when he put more oil in it. What can you do some people just no too little about cars for there own good. I wouldn't mind but when he first told me he had a 520 I assumed it was a mid 90s rough one that was worth a few hundredh euro. But this one has a fbsh from new. Hopefully he will get it sorted but the damage is probably already done.
