Sergio Juan ASKS:

5. I am interested in any information that can help my 528i run better/faster. I currently get about 16 mpg around town and the car is a bit hard to start when hot and idles
rough/low for about a minute after starting hot, until I step on the gas and bring the revs up.
Other than that, it has good power and runs very smooth. (any special books for this E12 I should
get?).

ANSWER: Try disconnecting the wire to the cold start valve. On my car with th e
same injection, the cold start valve is only needed below 40 degrees. As to performance, a quick boost to high end performance is to replace the 6 air runners on the intake manifold with those from 77-79 320i(s).
