Re: Where to buy a parallel flow condenser?

Update. After no luck finding a parallel flow condenser, I decided to go with Genuine BMW. One problem. BMW no longer makes a condenser for the car it appears as told to me by the parts agent. I guess I'll be reusing my old one and will try to do a flush and hope for the best.

Re: Where to buy a parallel flow condenser?

Yes, I have done an exhaustive search including calling the businesses listed in the threads. I have called each of the aforementioned businesses as well and nobody has any knowledge or recall of the parallel condenser. One company denied ever having made one, even though I provided them with a part...

Re: Front end shake at 45mph E24 M6

Took me FOREVER to figure this out on my car. Check for a seized brake caliper. This was surprisingly elusive. I waited 6 months for a new calipers from Germany.

I used Hybrid Audio Legatia L4SE. Not cheap, but a quality speaker with shallow mounting depth in the floor area. Up top, Dynaudio esotec tweeters. It has a stock appearance and required no cutting whatsoever.

Re: SLS height adjustment

Thanks for the response. Am I correct in that is takes rotation of the level which mounts to the rear sway bar to adjust ride height: Is this something that requires a special tool or can I do this by hand? It is not self evident to me after looking at it.

Thanks again

Why is my AC hot in front and cold in the rear?

Just as it says, my 87 M6 blows ambient air out of the front vents (above and above the stereo) yet the rear console is ice cold? What might cause this?

Thank you!

Re: Tachometer error after full cluster restoration

Yes, I agree with you. The thought of removing the cluster again and shipping it back to California does not sound appealing. I ordered a coding plug from BMW today and report back once it arrives. Nothing like starting a fire with 100 dollar bills.

Re: Tachometer error after full cluster restoration

It is a 1987 pre 6/87 M6. The coding plug was in it's proper place. Is it possible it is faulty or got switched? Any ideas on where to confirm it is the rigt one or obtain a new one?

Hi everyone, I tried to take my 87 M6 for a ride today and went to get some gas. Well, the gas door would not open.
