Re: Throttle cable wanted for m635

Normally I'd say order one from the dealer but I did that a few years back and one after the other had a production defect, Being too short.

It's worth a shot if they are in stock, I would hope they've fixed their issue by now.

Re: additional air slide valve - checking off car?

Interesting topic, didn't know there were M6 specific ones.

Always found cold idle to be quite low on my M635 so maybe it has the wrong type in there :-k

Re: E24 Door Lock Detailed Tear-down & Rebuild Instructions

Great video to get some insight on how it all goes together =D> My driver's door lock/cylinder made very funny noises last time I unlocked it, sounded like stuff was falling into the door and now the cylinder is spinning and half loose. At least now I have a good idea on what might have happened/bro...

Re: M88 M635 throttle cable wanted

That's great you have found someone to actually repair it. After my engine rebuild, we bought a new one from BMW but it turned out too short. They sent a replacement but same thing. So my mechanic logged a case with BMW as it turns out it's some kind of production error. They will investigate but wh...

Re: location of ABS fuse M635

EDITED: I've now read the explanation of the test as you describe it (in that earlier link) and now understand the logic. So what I think this means is that you avoid a failure of something like our UK MOT by disconnecting all the sensors? Now. anyone got a source for a rear wheel sensor? I'm havin...

Re: Exactly how much refrigerant?

Mine never had any stickers since I got the car, wondering the same for my M635CSi as I had to take out the condensor so pretty much at a loss as you are on how much to fill it with once it's all back together.

Re: Exactly how much refrigerant?

I imagine there would be a difference between R12 and R134a setups and then also between the models with a single evaporator and the models with the extra 'fridge' in the back? Would there be a difference between setups on for instance he M30Bxx, M88/3 and S38B35 given the same refrigerant and amoun...

The grills are also still attached from the inside of the engine compartment, on the backside of the side indicators/corner lights if I recall well.

Using a M30 cruise control set on an M88/3

Hi there, I have a chance to buy a complete NOS M30 cruise control set and was wondering whether there were many differences compared to what's in an M635CSi or M6. I imagine the connection to the throttle linkage would definitely be different, probably some mounting brackets as well. Does anyone ha...

Re: M635 no spark - so confused, help!

You can program a code in the obc to prevent the car from starting. I would imagine something wonky in that circuit could also cause some very erratic behavior.

Ignition switch can also cause some serious trouble.

Re: FS: 87 M6 $20,000

Beautiful car for a very correct price! Good luck with the sale!

It seems to have the M88/3 engine instead of the expected S38B35 in US M6 models ? (judging by the valve cover and the idle adjustment screw on the intake)
