I appreciate this is a 635 website and I do have one and am a member, however I hope you can help me with a problem on a more modern BMW 218 series. I have an elderly neighbour who has a BMW218D approx 3 years old. She has for obvious reasons not used the car for at least 4 or more weeks and the war...

I am after a fuse box cover numbered as above. I understand that the E30 series also use the same cover if this helps. Based in UK (currently!). Car is 1988 635csi manual. Have tried breakers of the 635csi (and also the E30) but they do not seem to be that interested or only want to sell the whole u...

Thanks for the input. The car is an 88 manual 635 which whilst has had a lot of money spent on it still needs detailing and sorting under the bonnet.Will investigate the earthing over the weekend to see if that is the problem, have als ordered a lightbulb HID upgrade as well to see if that helps. Wi...

I have just had a fail on MOT citing the headlamp not working on dipped beam. I have dismantled and cleaned it and is does actually work but strangely it seems to be a weaker light that the drivers side and am concerned that when i go back for a retest i will be told it is not powerful enough. The o...

\Fuel tank sender /pick up leaking. i have a 1988 csi which has been rebuilt including a new fuel tank and O ring approx 4 years ago( not by me). The smell of petrol when the tank is filled up has been traced back to the sender/pick up assembly which is clearly leaking but difficult to tell exactly ...

Thanks guys!
really pretty simple job and now roof works fine. Thanks a lot and now onto the next little job.
Love the car and working on bringing it up to scratch so on doubt will be posting again.

Thanks M6 Dave, will try tomorrow and hopefully all will be working well again! Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks, I will try searching as well. Not sure if I am posting in the correct section as supposed it could be under electrics??
Anyhow have found some info on sunroof but none that is specific to my problem. Will take another look

Sunroof closing problems 1988 Csi. I have a problem when closing my sunroof. Opening it requires holding the button to make it go halfway back and then pressing the button again for it to go all the way back. Closing is the problem as when holding the button the roof closes and goes straight into th...

Thanks for your replies. The idea came from Andy Scott's survival guide under the technical section which infers you can dampen the sound via exhaust wrap. presumably then he means wrapping the manifold would have this effect? Mine has already been done therefore not a lot of alternative available t...

Thanks Brucey for your reply. I think that you are probably right so wil go for what is available and spray them. just a question, on the link you gave me it shows prices etc which seem very cheap. How do I access that link to buy at these prices? As seems purely a list of all parts but not actually...

Am after seat runner plastic covers( side skirts?) which have been lost in the rebuild. Ideally in Silber Leder HL 0201 spec ( UK spec) however might consider other colour. Need only the "door side" as already have the inner handbrake side. My seats are fully electric with all buttons on t...

I have just bought a 635 which has been fitted with a new stainless steel exhaust system. The manifold has been wrapped but whilst it sounds very "serious" on the move it is perhaps a little too loud for my taste. Does anyone have experience of actually wrapping the back box ( assuming thi...

I am new to the Big Coupe site having just bought a 1988 635csi manual, and have been reccomended by another UK member to post on here. Am based in the UK and my car has had a very large amount of work done on it over the last few years having had one owner from new. Virtually all of the problem are...
