Leaking a little bit of oil from my valve cover bolts
Noticed this recently, after hard driving I'll get a very thin but noticeable film of oil on and around my valve cover bolts, especially the bottom left (near the "4" sparkplug label). I suspect this means either my valve cover gasket is wearing out or the bolts are loose (they're not loose to the hand, but I haven't put a wrench on them) or some combination of the two. I'm not that worried and will probably continue to drive like this until anything gets notably worse but I'm just checking to see if I should be more concerned.
Temperature Gauge Pegged Hot
After a short drive, The temperature gauge is pegged in the red. The two upper hoses are hot; the lower hose is cool. Bad thermostat or bad gauge? Im pretty sure it’s the thermostat, but waiting for the car to cool down to see if the gauge reading changes.
123 Distributor. Which one?
The choices are: 1. Switched: 16 preset curves. 2. Wired (USB) programmable 3. Bluetooth (Wireless) programmable. Questions: For those that purchased the switched version. 1. How has that worked for you? (I really haven't seen any complaints.) 2. Have you discovered any deficiencies? 3. Do you wish you purchased a programmable one? For those with the programmables: 1. Did you have to change or tweak the curves a lot? 2. Was the process difficult? and/or did it take a long time? For those like me that are afraid of opening the hood: Does one need to find a specialty shop to have one installed and dialed in? or could I drive up to Mintgrun's or Toby's house and chat (over some very expensive hand-delivered Cognac) and hope that they would demonstrate for me how one is installed and tuned? (Re-thinking this option... it may be cheaper to find a shop.....)

BayArea 02 Swap & Show 2019 on 4 May
05/04/2019
BayArea 02 Swap & Show, 4 May 2019, Marina at Brisbane, California. The address is: 500 Sierra Point Parkway-- along the Bay on the North side of Sierra Point. Preregister on Motorsportreg (see below). Preregistration is $25 while the on-site fee on 4 May will be $30. Graphic artist Kile Brekke has again added his art to our T-shirts and printed materials; we think you will be delighted with his design! Please preregister early to help us plan for the best number of each shirt size. We will have a named bag for each preregistrant so our closing date is slightly earlier than some years to help us organize the bags. Note— Swap & Show visitors are welcome! There is no fee for entry if you do not show your car or swap parts. However, we encourage anyone with a BMW of our vintage to bring your car to display, no matter how mundane your daily driver (dirt, rust and all) or how beautiful your restoration. Swap & Show does not judge your car so there will be no points for extra dirt, missing dirt, matching luggage or concours glow. We smile at all BMW's and photographs or videos are welcome (but NO drones over cars)! Preregistration is now open, until Tuesday, 30 April. Go to [Preregister for Swap & Show 2019].
