Still looks good. I guess it won't be going kaboom before Homecoming.  |

XLNT! I'd just hate it if I ran into your oil slick between Topaco & G'ville...
Though it makes me look back at my last analysis report; not at the findings, but at the mileage. Last October, I changed the oil at 30,257 miles. The previous September, the oil service was done at 27,425 miles. The September before that, the interval was at 15,067 miles. Last Saturday when I took the owner of the white SC Coupe out for a ride in the S-54, it turned 31,000 miles. That's a pretty dramatic decline in annual miles

I am trying to keep up with the Spartenburg production rate. I need to clear the lot of Z4's and X5's before they let me go to HC.

Not sure what to think about the fuel at the moment, we'll see what it says next round. Could be blow-by but I'd be surprised at this point in the engine's life. Maybe I'll do a leak-down test this winter.
In any event, it doesn't look like it's headed for a bottom-end kaboom.
