I'll have to compare it to my car when I get home.

Here is a hint: http://www.e3024v.com/project8.htm

This guy did the same thing, but apparently fixed it later.

Photo was taken to show my settings to another drover, but the failure is not K-Mac related.

Hrm, that's what I thought it was. I guess not then.

Cracked intake boot?

Spark plug gaps are set incorrectly.
Oil is 1 quart low.

This fail is a fail.

BMW also failed by not having E30 Tourings in the US. Magnetic1 redeems fail by posting the link.

What's the final count?

Is the mount rotated clockwise to how is should be mounted? Instead of adjusting camber laterally to the car, it's adjusting at an angle.

Either that or the failure is because it's a BMW.
