lots of questions!

Hello everyone, I have been away a while due to a messy break up, and changing living arrangements, but now I am back, and ready to button up all the little things my car needs...with your help. I have a 1985 635csi manual, and I need assistance picking out the correct parts. I need a clutch, and do...

Re: Big problems with LMP, and Billie Boat

I am now dealing with Billy Boat directly. They did receive my order, but have recently moved to a new facility, and are not tooled up for BMW exhausts yet. Their representative has promised to keep me in the loop as far as the entire manufacture of my exhaust, right up until they ship it. I must sa...

Big problems with LMP, and Billie Boat

I ordered a Billie Boat stainless steel exhaust from LM Performance in October. I was told that because it was a custom order, that it would take 3 weeks before it was shipped. It is now February and I still have not gotten my item...and each time I contact LMP, all I get is a form letter telling me...

Re: Intermittent idle issue

I cleaned as much of the intake system as I could, with specific care paid to the ICV.
I will work on adjusting the other items today at work.
Thank you again, so very much :)

Re: Intermittent idle issue

Okay, as a guy who has ever only worked on busted up American cars, I had to do a YouTube search to even identify the part, but I found a video explaining the cleaning process, and it has worked.
Marginally...so I think a proper tune up is in order. :)
Thank you so very kindly.

Intermittent idle issue

Good morning everyone, I was hoping to pick the collective brains of members to try and solve a new problem with my car. I have a 1985 635csi that starts up nicely, drives to the highway well, and motors along at highways speeds just as expected....however, once I get off the highway, the idle start...

Re: TRX Tires Not So Bad

I can confirm that Serbia is the country of manufacture on the new TRX tires. It is what my car is wearing right now. I am new to the 635csi life, and want to keep the original 'bottle caps', and TRX tires, but possibly for shows only, and find a tire/rim set for every day usage. I am not a street r...

Exhaust hints?

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my exhaust parts... However, now I am wondering if there will be any hiccups with installation, since I had to use two separate manufacturers. I am using the Magnaflow catalytic converter section, and the Billy Boat Exhaust tail section. Do any of you f...

Re: brake warning at 3000 rpm

Thank you all very much...you are awesome!

I have a deep love for almost all things automotive, but have far too little experience with BMW to just tinker around and guess.
The people in here have been a great source of information, and highly supportive. :)

brake warning at 3000 rpm

I am sorry if this is a common issue that has been dealt with before, but with so many members, and so many threads, I frankly got tired of searching. :) I have a 1985 635csi which runs and drives great, however, as I row through the gears everything seems normal, until I hit 3000 RPM in 5th gear, t...

Exhaust questions.

I have searched a little through here, but have not found an answer, so I am posting a new thread. I am hoping to gain very mild increases in performance and sound from my exhaust, but I am confused about which of the many choices will give me what I am looking for. Choice #1...Have the stock manifo...

For some reason I am unable to respond to private messages!

So, yes please, I would very much like to purchase a speedometer, and an antenna.
