Re: Early Euro Rear Bumper - Questions about Mounting Hardware

I have a set from a rear bumper that got damaged. Not sure how much I'd ask, but an option maybe if you cant find elsewhere.

It got hit in the bumper a few years after this photo.

The square hole is intended for a carriage bolt to prevent it from turning. The square locks in place so the nut can be tightened from underneath.

Re: 1979 635CSi Euro - Henna Revival Project

So A few updates since a month ago. I ordered belts and hoses and the waterpump and fan clutch only to find out that I got the wrong width drive belt, rendering it too long. Then I was waiting for some white vacuum hose to find out that it was not in stock and I had to wait another week for it to ar...

Re: B35 head on Euro B34

Robb, If I had euro B34, I would go with B35 head and intake, maybe consider M1.3. Though I am not sure the specs on the other head you have, I have heard good things about Hartge engines. So I guess I would check to see if the hartge head has the same size valves or any different size. I would exam...

Re: Oil Pressure Warning Light

Cold oil will be a bit thicker and if parked nose up, it may take a bit more to build pressure. Nose down will really help it! Check the low hanging fruit first: your M30B35 oil filter housing may be draining empty and have to refill every start... If it is an m30b35 and easy way to check is let it ...

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro

Good news! I put the later oil cooler housing on the car and no more leaks! It is smaller diameter and has a small drain fitting from an 81 635 or 735 and uses the o41x filter. Though I do sort of miss the Red oil filter housing. https://drive4corners.com/wp-content/usergallery/hashtag/20240226_1858...

Larger swaybars such as e28 m5/m6 size of 25/18mm will tear mounts, speaking from experience using Ireland engineering sway bars on e28 chassis.

I don't have an o2 sensor in my euro cars at the moment, but this is obviously a good option. I am sure it would improve cruise fuel economy like the ljet with lambda on actual US E12 cars...

Re: Anti-roll (sway) bars

Yes e28/e24 interchange but note that the rear bar will be different for '83/'84 models due to the diff cover. Also bigger bars will require reinforcement to the chassis.

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro

Played with this car and came to the conclusion that the oil filter housing was damaged. Maybe I tightened it too much or something, but the lower section where the bolt goes through doesn't look correct. I started up the car and saw a small drip at idle coming out near the bolt head. I have a spare...

Still available.

Here's how they look installed in a car. Obviously shown is an early euro model. The set for sale is not the exact one pictured but is identical parts and condition, maybe even better!

Yasin, I noticed your toolkit for this car is incorrect. It looks like you have the E28 tray instead of the e24 tray which has all the wrenches in a vertical position next to each other instead of 3 and 3. You can usually check the production date on the tray as well to know when it was produced. ht...

You don't have a spare ECU to try, do you? Sort of hard to find them these days. I bought one four years ago and I got a little lucky to find it. Fuel Air Spark is the basic troubleshooting idea. Sounds like fuel pressure and injectors you have covered as operating properly since it idles. Air comes...
