hey my 97 328 sport drives fine, good fuel economy, performance etc, but after reading all the info on nikasil engines, i have been trying to identify this pear shaped plate on the block, does anyone have a photo of what i am looking for?? and does anyone run a nikasil engined 328 at the moment, will the car simply stop working and be no good to me??? my car has done 78000 miles, any info will be great cheers
