Moved my '97 528 last night. Only a few feet to reclaim the parking space outside my house. Knew it didn't like being started and stopped when cold. but was watching something on TV so risked it.
And it simply wouldn't start this morning. Did sort of fire on one cylinder then stalled. Then no sign of life despite cranking on full throttle to flood clear.
It's a well known problem with these early 528s - but the only time it happened before I got it running by using full throttle. But the plugs are now some 15 years older than then. ;-) It normally starts first time hot or cold and runs perfectly which is why I've not fitted new plugs before - although it's just about due for them milage wise.
Obviously, just fit some new plugs. But I've heard horror stories of them snapping off on attempted removal.
Any tips?
