Re: S2 seats compatibility in S1?
Thanks - I'm getting similar info on an E24 FB group. I don't think they'd go on my '79. Was asking because there's a beautiful pair of manual sports from an M6 for sale. Oh well . . .

Torque values source - and a question
The malloc.nl server that carried the online version of the DVD version of the BMW shop manuals seems to be dead. I have found another location for them here: https://www.bmwtechinfo.com/repair/main/057en/index.htm (I'm E12-based '79 so I'm using the E12 sections. Not sure about what's there for E28...

Hey I just hit on your amazing thread while trolling for differential mount info. Your Euro '83 - is it E12 base? Mine is (a '79). Your diff mount looks like the E12 type. I've read all about them breaking and mine doesn't seem like it has. However I'm doing all my bushings and I was just wondering ...

I think it may have happened. I just wasn't able to check right away - I was at work and my garage is not close to home. I do not know, but I suspect, that my rims are staggered. (My stupid ignorance that I don't know.) I was asking - if they are, and they were mounted front to back, could this caus...

Thanks Moe. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest just how stupid a thing may be causing this. Say *someone* had real Alpina 16s but didn't even know if they're staggered, and if they *were* staggered, and anyone who had put them on the car and didn't know - let's just say - If the wider ones we...

Thanks all - much to absorb here about suspension. However, closer inspection has revealed that in fact it's the tires rubbing on the wheel well, presumably when they're turned in. See the attached photos - shows wear on each front tire and corresponding wear on the wheel well. This is mystifying. I...

Front inside tire wear - toe?
'79 Euro 635 - suspension is stock, not lowered. I just got back from my mechanic who pointed out the extreme (!) wear on the inside of my fronts. Tires are Yokahama's on Alpina 16's, 3.5 years old, less than 30k km / 18k miles. He suspects camber wear. On researching a bit it looks at least as like...

Underdash insulation
Do you have the foam sound insulation piece that goes between the pedals and the steering column? (Crappy blown up realoem diagram attached.)

You know I think I'll - uh - accept that answer.
Thanks. Bye!!

Timing chain thread re-visit
1000 is for parts. It isn't miles that kill the plastic guide as much as time. The guide gets brittle and breaks and kills the valve train, FWIW, I've probably done more of these in the past 5 years than anyone in the country. Currently am doing an m635 chain conversion and am just finishing an e34...
