My 1976 BMW 530i – It was love at first sight
You will probably think that we met under the shiny lights in a dealer’s showroom, but you would be wrong. In fact, she was already ten years old at the time. The previous owner was ready to move on, so I went to his house to take a look and maybe go for a test […]
How Engineers Sought To Destroy Turbo Lag With Science
Here at eEuro, we love turbochargers. Most of our favorite engines are turbocharged. Even our favorite non-turbo engines (such as the BMW M50) are also getting boosted these days thanks to a younger crowd of enthusiasts, suitable compression rations, and falling prices on the used car market.

Why do people love poly bushings so much?
If you’re cruising through online forums on car upgrades, the topic of poly bushings will invariably show up. Poly bushings are something that many people feel very strongly about, but why?

Like Moss On A Rolling…Saab
I was sixteen, making $7.25 at a part time job. After a few months of saving I had $1,500 to buy a car. I had only one reservation, it had to be like nothing else in the school parking lot. No Ford Taurus’s, no BMW’s, no Honda Civic’s, etc. After a few weeks of my […]

All that being said, you’d be hard-pressed to find a person in the early ’80s who would […]
The BMW N63 Engine- From Hot Vee To Hot Garbage
Before getting started I wanted to say I feel bad about calling the BMW N63 ‘hot garbage’. The N63 Twin Turbo 4.4l V8 is a wonder of modern technology, achieving things that no other engine maker was willing to attempt. The manufacturing processes that went into crafting it are exquisite. That says a lot for […]
The Turbocharger Boost Leak – Don’t Panic
Having a boost leak is never good. A minor leak can make your vehicle run rough, misfire, feel down on power, and run rich because the ECU is expecting air that it isn’t getting. Major boost leaks will cause flashing check engine lights (massive misfires) and engine stalls. Whether or not you have a minor […]
The Perfect Brake Job – DIY Tips for Smooth, Long Lived Brakes
To most entry level DIY mechanics, the standard disc brake job is always on the top of the list for common first wrenching endeavors. Whether it be because of loud noises when coming to a stop or applying brakes in reverse, or that pulsating horrible vibration when slowing down from speed, there’s always a tipping […]
BMW Control Arm Bushings Available in Pre-Pressed Kits
We recently did some work to make changing the lower BMW control arm bushings easy as pie. These bushing assemblies, commonly referred to as ‘Lollipops’ (Aqua reference withheld) which feature an outer housing that bolts to the chassis, and a fairly beefy bushing. The end of the control arm goes through the center of the […]
