Re: Radiator Hoses Sucked Up after Drive

I think you ordered the correct part. The expansion tank cap should be letting air into the tank when the system cools.

Re: my 1983 633csi

It was nice meeting you at the PSF. Glad that you were able to attend.

You might want to check out the thread "No Power, running super rich" in the Engine - Mechanical - Electrical section. That person also has a car that had been sitting for many years.

Re: No Power, Running Super Rich

After considering all you have been through with your engine problem, it is becoming clear to me that you really need to concentrate on the injectors. Considering all of the parts your mechanic has thrown at your car without results, new injectors would be a very minor expense. I changed the injecto...

Re: No Power, Running Super Rich

Since this car was sitting for a long time, it might be possible that one or more of the injectors are stuck open. That could certainly cause the symptoms you are experiencing. I know you said you tested the injectors.

Re: Am I stupid or just impatient?

I suggest you check the caliper piston and housing for corrosion. I had a similar problem, and cleaning the stuck piston cured it.

Re: What do you think the best looking rims are for the shark?

I also like the original wheels but was not impressed with the rather dull factory color, especially with a black car. I removed the grey paint, painted the wheel gloss black, then polished the rim, center section and radial fins on my 635CSi. Did a similar thing with my M6. That produced the origin...

If my memory serves, the horn contact was a part of the BMW center emblem. I notice that you did not install it.

Re: Talk me out of this road trip.

As the lucky owner of two low mileage 6ers, I sometimes get apprehensive about taking my cars on longer trips too. I don't think the age of our cars is overly important. The thing to remember is that the mechanicals in our 6ers are the same as the 5 series and 7 series cars of the same era. That bei...
