Re: Self Levelling Suspension replacement

Hi John I remember seeing an SLS removal kit advertised some time ago, I think it was at Bavauto, but have not been able to find it again for you. The kit included new shocks, springs and spring mounts. It sounds like you have most of these parts now anyway. It should be easy enough to find a pair o...

Re: What do I want off an Australian b35 for my b34?

Don't open either engine. Pull your original engine and store it for later options for originality. Install the E34 engine complete (if it is in as good condition as you suggest), you will need engine mount adaptors like this. http://www.bmw-stuff.com/proddetail.asp?prod=m30r Complete install, engin...

Re: Carb conversion

I reckon Gaz is on the right track by retaining electronic control of the ignition system. Go for a Microsquirt module and run wasted spark with a six post coil or 3 dual post coils. This will give you fully programmable ignition curves and rev limiter and no need for a distibutor. Personally I thin...

Re: M88 vs S38

Hi Dan They are different by about 6mm. The difference is in the head, cam box, valve cover and timing chain chest. I had one of each at the same time and measured them both. You can see the difference if you look at a picture of the valve cover and compare the front section where the oil filler cap...

Re: M88/3 Temp Gauge, High Idle and Fuel Mixture Fun

The idle speed control valve draws air from the intake plenum through the hose located between cylinders 4 and 5. Pull this hose off and plug both the hose and the plenum then start the engine. If the idle speed drops then the extra air is coming in through the idle valve - look at the valve itself ...

Hi There
Welcome to the forum, it is a great source of information and help. Those of us down under suffer high parts prices from the local dealers and can advise alternative suppliers so don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it.

Re: M635 Chain Tensioner Piston

Reviving this thread. If I replace the stock tensioner piston with the S50 version, do I need to keep the diaphragm #30 from the old piston. I read the diaphragm is to smooth out oil pressure pulses and was added to post '85 cars. Sharkfan's M88 didn't have the diaphragm before or after. http://www...

This stuff works well ACF-50. It is used in aircraft to protect inside tube airframes so that they do not rust from the inside out.

The front 4 spot calipers from an M5 or M6 require a longer fitting than the 635CSI ones. If you try to put 635 lines on the M6 calipers the nut hits the caliper before the fitting seats in the caliper.
