Don't forget the silver heat conductive paste to bed the transistor for better heat dispersal.

I haven't needed it yet, but previous posters mentioned Drive Shaft Specialist in San Antonio TX (www.driveshaftspecialist.com) and Beyer Drivelines in Chandler AZ ([email protected])
This IS NOT a recommendation as I haven't used either but perhaps some other Coupers can chime in.

What if you mount the winch to the back side of the lift with a snatch block mounted to the wall to line up with the centerline of the car (or the tow loop on the passenger side)? Then you have 2x the mechanical advantage and therefore you can use a really small winch.

Zinnocoupe: It's not a seal but a "seal carrier" that is shaped like a plug. Jay said it's not necessary, but what the hell, I was preparing for the worst. Cheaping out on brakes and brake parts is foolish. It goes in the servo unit. See realoem !https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=5284-US...

Song, Definitely let Jay Stratton rebuild your booster with new seals. Also suggest you contact Bill Fox (Max Lumens) [email protected].com for the machined aluminum seal carrier to replace the plastic one and then send it with your booster to Jay. One assembly tip: fit the hydraulic lines to the M/C...

Sort of a question for you cooling experts: When does the A/C pusher fan come on? Is it only powered when the A/C is running or is it only thermostatically controlled? How does the temp at idle respond if you have the A/C on?
Jose is on the right track.

OUCH!

Hi, As mentioned, I covered the dead pedal on the drivers' side and made the passenger side a little wider. For the rear, I made them longer to fit under the power front seats. If you contact Chrissy at Cocomats, I'm sure she can send you the template for my car. There's no obligation although if yo...

Fix it and let the buyer pay the CA fees (or can you sell it out of state to re-register?)

My wife is using Luminar 4 for picture post processing as better than PS for color correction and enhancement

But those Bosal mufflers I am told are NLA.

The November 2019 issue of BMW Car published a story on the M30 engine. Not as detailed as I'd like it but it's not terrible.

Am I mistaken or are these rich prices for very sad, neglected and rusty e24s? When all said and done with mechanical, rubber and paint, you'd be into the US$30k area.....

Looking at the auction house website, they have "chosen not to publish the results." Any idea what these sad looking 635's sold for?

I saw your post from a few years ago and I'm in need of a new muffler (actually the rear section) and the Walker pops up on Amazon. But I have an '84 633Csi which is not supposed to accept the Walker. Anyone with any idea why it doesn't fit? or any suggestion for a reasonably priced solution?

Now that I refurbed my battery tray and the green oxygen tubing is holding up, the discharge from the battery is collected on my Walmart drip tray. The acid ate through the tin coating. A great example of the corrosive power of battery acid.

The originals were looking dodgy and a well made SS set was a fair bit cheaper than stock rubber so on they went. Unfortunately the brake pad sensor wires etc look almost as bad s the brake hoses! https://i.imgur.com/g9PsuqJl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/514oODEl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/D91xaCgl.jpg htt...

I replaced the rear sway bar bushings. Does anyone know why the pass side bushing retainer takes this belt and suspenders approach with two retaining clips, one over the other? I originally thought it was in error but the REL OEM confirms it and there is a land on the body side to accept the second...

Wonderful fall view! What camera/lens? (Probably a cell phone pic...........)

Eric, Thanks for the knowledge on the diff mount. As to the busted Pitman arm bolt removal (a previous set of pics) I bought 2 left hand taps and two left hand grade 8 bolts from McMaster Carr. Wildly expensive (bolts about $10 each and the taps about $8 plus S&H). a 1/4" and 5/16". If it works, its...

I need to replace the diff mount as previously discussed on this blog. But a few questions for you all. I'm going to put the rear on jackstands and remove the rear tires. I will put a small floor jack under the diff before I remove the bolts. But my concern is whether the diff will drop (but be supp...

Is this for manual trans only?

While readying my 6 for the winter, I looked carefully at the battery. I found some white fluffy stuff in the battery tray which was from acid overflow. But from where? So I pulled the small DieHard battery which had 2 small holes on either side of the case. Upon further inspection there was a baggi...

Superb job! Song, how do you get to the nuts holding the hinges in place? Somewhere along the way, I recall that some chap with great woodworking and laminating skills made pods out of exotic woods with a P-U coating. If I dig it up, I will post although it could have been for another BMW applicatio...

It's really too bad they don't design them to use standard faucet washers which are available everywhere.
