Thanks. I am looking for it, I think that I have the right spot, but I do not see this wire. My car is a 1976 530i, is it in a different spot?

Rough Idle When Warm

The car starts fine and idles for about 2-3 min. then it runs rougher and will finely stall if I let it go long enough. If I give it a little gas it runs fine. I have looked through the bulletin board archives, and from what I see it could be the air flow sensor, the coolant temp. sensor, or the ...

Unkown Wires

I have found two loose wires that I am sure should be hooked up to something, but I can not figure out what they go to. Any help?

Thanks. Yes it is Aluminum with a top bolt and it was easy to get on and off, glad I don't have the "PITA" type. I was able to find filters I need. Thanks again

Oil Filters

I have a '76 530i, I changed the oil today, but when I went to install the filter (Mann H 1038) it was too large. The old filter that was in there was a Mann H 930/3, is this the correct oil filter for this car? Are there other filters that will fit, if so what are the part numbers?
Thanks
