    Looking for 850 enthusiast in CT

    Hi there.
    I was always wanted to become an 8 series owner. Recently bought one, 1993 850Ci.
    I'm new to BMW,but always maintained other European and Japanese cars.
    I was wondering if there is an 8 series enthusiast in CT what i could get on touch with?

    The car was sitting for 2 years prior. One bank has no spark. Tried to troubleshoot the ignition coil (show no resistance) but i think it goes beyond that.
    Since I've never heard the car running and not sure which car noises are proper, would there be anyone around that i can come and just check the running car conditions?

    Please reply anyone in 100-150 miles.
    I'm in Hartford area CT.

    Hi Kazan. I'm in Stamford. A bit further than New Britain, but happy to help should you need it (and the snow stops). If you lost a bank, change your rotors and distributor. Also, the easiest way to figure out why a bank is not firing is swapping things from one side to the other and see if the problem jumps (distrib, rotor, coil, maf).
    (I'm also a Paul).

    I got in touch with Paul (New Britain).
    He's a great resources and helped me quite a bit with troubleshooting.
    He also mentioned your name.
    Hope to touch base sometime with you, when mine is running.

    If you get it up and running by April 14th, there is a great C&C in New Canaan (if you haven't been already). Well worth the trip on a Sunday morning.
