I appreciate the generous move to the top, but it's no longer necessary.
:thanks: to all that made that possible.

Alrighty then. Glad to hear it's sorted out. I'm out of the country until next weekend but I'm ready for the kit any time after that. Made a lot of progress this weekend :D

No. But, thank you sir.
I got my issue resolved, but the kit would make a great "take along" for a road trip similar to the 3,500 mile one we're about to end.

Thanks again for the availability.

Does the case need any parts? I just parted a M5 and have wires, cap, rotor, sensors etc.

Nope.., we are good :) In fact I added some stuff, added a compression tester and leak-down tester.

Micheal Chow, the last M guy to use the kit, added some color pics on how the kit goes back together after use. Very nice of him !!!

The only down side is the kit and pelican case is roughly 50 lbs. Shipping this thing is expensive. But if you really need it to figure out a problem with your M I think it still has great value.

Wow, just saw that this existed. Very cool, I have a feeling I will be needing it in the near future as I reawaken the s38 after it's 7 year slumber with the P.O. I will most definitely be in touch!

I am interested in borrowing this kit to assist a friend with his 1988 M5 that won't idle. Could be a big win for my buddy! I have to make his car run and ship it to Korea.

Re: S38 B35 Trouble Shooting kit - Not Available

Guys, the TS kit is no-more. I've sold off the AFM & ECU to local friends that were in need. I still have the ignition wires, cap, rotor, injectors, trans/crank sensors, coolant temp sensor and ICV. If someone wants to pick up where I left off I'll consider donating what's left and the ballistic proof pelican case :)

Initially it was rewarding being able to help other members fix their rides. But became a costly and time consuming hassle shipping that heavy case around to members. About $50 each way. I always paid out of my own pocket the first shipping leg out so the member just had to pay to ship it to the next guy. If anything came back broken I'd replace the part out of pocket.

Everyone I shipped the TS kit to was great, super honest, but in the end it became a hassle.

Just letting everyone know in case some of the newbies find this thread.

Thx.
