How do I check the relays? Thanks!

12v battery few pieces of wire a bulb that works or a multimeter set to
ohms.

or if you have to ask that question then I would advise you to get hold of
a
local hot rodder or auto electrician or get it to a BMW expert.

Oscar,

with the other posts yopu have made asking about a Nikasil block and
suggesting dealer reprogramming, YOU need to go back for a software update

Valid questions my friend but then I am an alloy V8 and Alloy Diesel owner and I

know some of the earlier 6s were also ally and later changed to iron blocks for
the US market.

It is valid that a nikasil block may need extra sealing to start it from a long
lay up period. Not every time but often enough to have that info to hand.

Sorry if you don't agree.

We don't agree because the US never had nikasil inline 6 engines
until the M54 engine in the E46. So you are simply wrong. This has been
mentioned in many posts many times; you simply don't pay attention
or are incapable of reading.

The V8's are a whole other kettle of fish.

Leave it out Floyd........... I can read but I do NOT remember all the posts
some of you US plonkers make as most of it is so bloody trivial that anyone that
can read would find 90% of the answers in the bloody hand book or would Google
for it to start with.
