85 M635 seatbelt buckle pops open

Curious development where the buckle pops open and releases as if mechanism is broken inside. Anyone had this problem?
Ordered new pair from Maximilian and fortunately checked before disassembly and apparently was wrong part.

Re: Recommendations for ECU repair on 85 M635?

Here is what I pulled out of the car today. Anyone ever used www.g7computers.com ? They are in upstate New York quoting $250 for the repair.
i also think the second unit is a piggyback for when the car had emissions on it to pass federalization

Recommendations for ECU repair on 85 M635?

My ECU has died. From talking to my local independent mechanic. It looks like the importer in the 80's had installed a piggyback system to get the cat and o2 sensor to operate for federalization purposes. All the emissions stuff has been gone for 20 years and it has a new stock oem european exhaust ...

1985 European Headliner

My headliner in the M635 has a tear in the back corners of the sunroof. Any ideas on how to replace? It appears too long a tear to repair.

Seats don't look right

I agree on whomever mentioned the seats. I have never seen those in an M635. It should not have been allowed if the factory did that.

Trouble shooting dead speedo on 85 m636

So about a year ago I fired the coupe up after sitting through a typically crappy new England winter and I discovered the speedometer was dead. Tach works and so does everything else but not the speedo or odometer.

What should I check and in what order?
