Webcon can now offer reproduction PDFs of the original, genuine Weber exploded diagrams of various Weber carburettors.

The schematics detail a breakdown of the components of the carburettor with corresponding part numbers and calibration information. They are extremely detailed and can massively help in restoring a Weber carburettor correctly. They are ideal if you are in the middle of a rebuild and need to know where a particular component goes!

Please note that, because these are original Weber exploded diagrams, they are predominantly in English. However, a number are in Italian, French or German and will need to be translated.

Exploded diagrams are available from just £4.95 plus VAT each and can be downloaded immediately after completing the checkout.

Start your engines; ready for the day out

Above; My first Tii Lux

We started at Munich Legends and then went to L&C Croydon to see Tim Higgnets rare collection of Classic BMW’s.

Below; Is that a young Barney Halse?

I recall low mileage examples including M5 E28’s, 2 M1’s, a 2002 Turbo, a Glas GT and more E30 M3’s than I could count.

Below; Tim’s daily driver

The Turbo that ended up with BMW UK;

Rare low mileage M5 E28

Below; Yes Tim had 2 M1’s including this Procar. The other one White was his honeymoon car he toured around Europe in and I believe kept it

Below; Low miles even then for an M5 E28

CSL Race car

Below; 2000 CS (mint of course)

I think this 02 was raced by Simon Crompton;

Below; another low mileage mint M3 E30 EVO

Below; Covered a race E21

The Honeymoon M1 below;

In the evening we headed for the City of London where I’d booked a Thai resturant and we managed to park all the cars around Finsbury Circus (shame it was so dark).

This collection was auctioned a few years later when Tim retired, he did keep one of the M1’s I recall and I think BMW UK brought the CSL, Turbo and 328. At the time I remember they seemed above market price, but in today’s world were a good investment.

Enjoy.

We spent the afternoon with Paul and Drew filming for an episode of Salvage Hunters – Classic Cars which featured a gorgeous BMW 2002 Touring in Sahara Beige, the sale at the end was genuine and I think the lucky owner got a bargain.

Here’s the images from the day, you can find clips on line and on YouTube but sadly not the full episode (may repeat on Sky).

Sadly all the interviews with us ended up on the “cutting room floor”.

The “BMW 2002 Schnitzer Group 5” refers to a highly modified version of the BMW 2002 racing car, developed for the Group 5 racing series.

These cars featured turbocharged engines, with one variant using a 1.4-liter M12-based engine producing 450 hp, while others had a 2.0-liter engine producing 600–650 hp.

The cars were known for their powerful performance and were modified by Schnitzer, a well-known German tuner.

• Engine: The cars were powered by turbocharged inline-four engines
  • A 1.4-liter M12-based engine produced approximately 450 bhp
  • A 2.0-liter engine version produced 600–650 bhp
• Performance: The 2.0-liter versions could accelerate from  0-60 in 5 secs and reach a top speed of 186MPH (300Klm/h)
• Development: BMW Motorsport built 28 Group 5 BMW 320i units in 1977–1978, and two of these were modified by Schnitzer to include the 1.4-liter turbo engines
• Other modifications: One example of a 1977 2002 Schnitzer Formula 2 Group 5 car was equipped with a 4-valve engine and had FIA papers for racing

The M12 F1 Engine; A family of 4-cylinder, 16-valve engines based on the M10 block, famous for its M12/13 turbocharged Formula 1 variant that was the most powerful F1 engine ever built.

Developed by Paul Rosche, the M12/13 engine could produce up to 1,400+ horsepower in qualifying trim, though it was considered unreliable and was eventually banned. The M12 engine series also included versions for Formula 2 (M12/7).
