In case anyone is interested, it was the water pump. The PO had it
replaced and the shop used one with the plastic impeller. It failed.
That got me wondering. Where do all the pieces go when they break off?
Should I be concerned about that?
It is an easy job to do and the E34 has plenty of room with the radiator
in place.

I broke one at first before I realized how they work. Its actually a
mechanism with plastic hinges. Look closely, there are two sets of
meshing teeth. Spread the teeth and the device flexes enough to remove.

I had the same thing on the touring. I need to splice a wire around the
harness to turn on the amp.

I tried putting an Eclipse head unit in my car tonight and had to back off.
I had bought the BMW wiring adapter, and the european antenna adapter from
the local Best Buy install shop.
I hooked up the adapter to the new head unit, and got power to the unit, but
no sound from the system. There didn't appear to be a connector for the
amplifier control on the wiring harness. Am I going to need. to splice in a
wire to power the amplifier?
Also, the antenna adapter has an extra blue wire on it. Does I need to get
power to it?
Any other quick hints?
TIA

Marc,
Whatever you do, NEVER CUT THE OEM CAR HARNESS!!
And do everything you can to avoid splicing directly
into those wires with tee-offs.
I think the in-car harness remote turn-on for the OEM
amp is a white wire, but I can check for sure tonight,
if you'd like. You need to attach the wire to the blue
one on the new stereo harness (or whatever wire color
is labeled as remote turn-on, or something of the
like).

Peter,
Hehehe, funny you should mention that Peter. I was
going to mention something similar, in that my
experience was when I wired up my stereo in my now
gone 93 325, I think I had connected the antenna wire
on the new stereo harness to the white wire on the
car's harness. I noticed that it only had audio when
playing CDs, and I was completely confused. I
actually thought that the head unit was defective and
exchanged it for another one. ^_^
At the time, I couldn't find many other people who had
suffered the same problem on the net, so after finding
a few details about
