Reading about some E34 540i's there's something about heat soak or something due to where the starter is positioned. Would it be something similar on this car? Other suggestions?
ryan this is very common with the b8 . what your need to do is put a one way valve in your gas line . best spot would be next to the fuel filter . http://www.sigmfg.com/IndexText/KAV0277C.html . any questions feel free to pm me . install one before u fry your starter
