Hi. What is the material and color of the interior? I am after the two rear side panels in black leather.

Wanted complete comfort seat on driver side in a LHD car. The condition of the fabric/ Lether is not important as I only want it for the steel and plastic parts. Black plastic covers on the sides etc.

The new plugs made it run better but not where it should be. Next step was to check and clean the injectors. I had that done by a speed shop here and the proof is in the pudding as you can see from the enclosed chart. IMG_0234.JPG One was fully plugged. The rest not so bad but cleaner now and with n...

The engine needs some attention. But before I think of pulling it a part I would like to see if I can get it to run on all cylinders. It feels weak and sounds terrible. Naturally you look into fuel and spark issues. First challenge is to get the spark plugs out and what a PITA. I have no sockets tha...

Very interesting array of cars! You are defo not limited to a brand or type of cars. Saw you have had some cool VAG cars too. I also a had Passat 2.8- 30V 4 motion as a daily driver once. I now have a RS2 as a weekend driver. Enough of that. Back to Bayern!

Nice car and looks like a very rewarding car to work on.

Success I have been able to track down the right glass for my window. EBay is a great thing sometimes. A challenge as you can see is all the glue residue on the passanger window and door. I checked the web and a tip was to use WD40. It did work after several rounds of apply, let it absorb and rubbin...

Did that book come from Australia? :wink: I believe the calipers weren't painted at all. Maybe cadmium plated? Yupp I got the book from an Oz web bookstore! :-). If the calipers where cadmium plated I guess they had a goldish appearance? Welcome, and congrats finding your project car! Thanks!

I have got hold of this very informative Book : BMW M-Series by James Taylor. It has a section specifically for the M635 and then also the rest of the M cars from 78 -99. Highly recommended. As an example it describes the glass used on the M635. As you have seen the window on the passenger door has ...

Got to attend the brakes. The rear was ok and worked properly. The front was a different story. Left side I was able to free up after some elbow grease but the right side I could not get to move so had to take the caliper apart. I will rebuild them with new parts later but had to do this now as I ne...

Took a trip around to the wheel stores here and actually got to borrow the master set from the local BMW dealer in town to try on for fit for the wheel nut locks. Non fitted and thus we have to use another method. Found a kit at the local hardware store with reverse threads to be screwed on the nuts...

welcome to the madness,

It has had a break in and entry. The head unit for the stereo and the key socket for the wheel bolts got taken. In addition to the broken glass. Oh well!

Thanks! Yeah I like the wheels and the stance it got. It is Bilstein suspension too. Anyway as you see there are some issues to be fixed. My plan for now is to get hold off the missing parts and parts in poor condition. In addition I need to loosen the brakes (it barely moves) and get the engine run...

Hello all. Just want to introduce me as a newbie to this forum and BMWs. Have had many cars and bike projects over the years but never a BMW. Not even as my daily. But over the years the shape of the E24 has really gotten to me and I think it gets more beautiful as it ages. When I finally decided to...
