Hello Everyone,
I am curious what kind of compression numbers to expect from a US Spec E28 M5. Also, Is the procedure the same as doing compression on other cars?? I assume you remove coil wire and push accelerator pedal to floor and crank for about 5 seconds?? Any info is appreciated.

i took a compression test about a month ago.
cylinder 1-195 psi
cylinders 2-6 190 psi
i was very happy with those numbers and even happier with the car!!!!!
