Re: 84 633csi 5 spd

Sold to a guy near Tulsa Oklahoma if memory serves me correctly. Haven't seen or heard from him since, but I do wonder whatever happened to it. I always hoped it would show back up here, so the progress could be continually posted and I could see how things worked out. Oh well. I'm not filled with r...

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro

Did your brother have a build thread on the 318is somewhere? I could have sworn I read one some time ago, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Re: SOLD: front euro bumper

Glad to hear it made it in good shape. I was SUPER paranoid after boxing it up that it would fall apart before making it to you. I'll assume it took two hours with bolt cutters, a torch, and machete to get to the good stuff opening up?

Re: FS: front euro bumper

I tried uploading to the site, but the files are probably too big. On top of that, I've been on multiple forums that update platforms and eventually they lose attached photos as well. 3rd party has worked for me for well over a decade until recently. I have since switched over to Flickr, but it's st...

Re: 84 633csi 5 speed FS plus front euro bumper

Yeah, I just got rid of 2 e21's as well. They were starting to stack up pretty quick. The biggest issue I have is that the e24 never really was the nimble handling car I wanted it to be. It's a GT car, and while it could be made into a race car, I can't bring myself to do it. The e30 out of the box ...

Re: 84 633csi 5 speed FS plus front euro bumper

I think this one I'm going to try to do some autocross with it. There's a fairly inexpensive turbo kit that's been tugging at my money strings, but I'm trying to take it slow and see how it goes in stock form first.

I'd have to check to make sure, but I'd guess around $500 shipped. Biggest issue is finding a box and then it would have to be shipped Greyhound to get a reasonable rate.

Wow, too bad, I enjoyed your postings. That car is better than when you got it for sure. Any plans for another one or you've wised up and had enough? :D GLWS I've got a 91 318is in the works. The e24 is being sold to pay for a more reliable/luxurious daily driver. Now that I've moved back into town...

Euro front bumper and brackets: SOLD Needs paint, has some surface rust, and chrome isn't perfect. I planned to scuff up the chrome and paint until I got around to finding better replacements. One of the rubber trim pieces is currently removed, but I have spares of most all pieces to choose from and...

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!

Ditto on the bloat. My 81 320i is tiny compared to the 633. Oddly enough though the 320i feels way roomier in the cabin. I test drove a 330ci the other day and it's about the same as a 633.

Re: bypass SI board and still have parasitic draw?

Dammit. 12.38 as of right now. I've got to figure out how to get a new one under warranty since I bought it on Amazon. Hopefully shipping doesn't kill me.

Re: bypass SI board and still have parasitic draw?

Checked the battery again about 30 minutes ago with fuse 21 in place and voltage dropped to 12.5. I pulled fuse 21 to see if that's the draw, and checked back on it just now and it's already 12.47. I'm assuming it's the battery?

Re: bypass SI board and still have parasitic draw?

Good news. The speedometer now works! Yay! Bad news is the battery just isn't holding a charge well. After charging overnight and then my drive to work, my battery only sits at 12.60. Anything above that and it starts discharging whether fuse 21 is pulled or not. I think it's time to get a replaceme...

bypass SI board and still have parasitic draw?

So I'm tracking down the draw and it appears as soon as I disconnect the yellow connector on the back of the gauge cluster the light goes out(test light at negative battery post and ground). I decided to bypass the SI board in hopes that would reduce my draw. Unfortunately it hasn't changed. I still...

Re: 84 633csi 5 spd

One of the glaringly obvious issues I'm having with this car now is keeping my battery charged. The route to work from my old house was a good bit of highway, speeds mostly ranging from 55-80 for about 20 minutes with a few minutes of stop and go. My new house is in town and my commute is about 12 m...

Re: 84 633csi 5 spd

In Arkansas any vehicle 25 years old can get an antique plate which is permanent to the vehicle as long as you own it. No updating registration, only standard property tax. The catch is that you have to have a standard plated car for eligibility. My wife always has one standard car and for the last ...
