Here's a shot of part of the linkage, this is not something you would see under the hood (or cowl area) without some digging :roll: But you can see that these pivot points would need some sort of lube that penetrates, don't think any type of grease is gonna do the trick :-? I also discussed this wit...

Seriously, crickets

Geez, I expected some sort of recommendations, thinking I'll use something on the lighter side, don't want to gum things up

I've got Tri-Flow, thoughts

Hi guys, Finally getting to some projects on the green beast, I'm replacing the rubber grommets that go around the shafts that come up through the cowl, and getting the visible parts powder coated, long overdue =D> So, what's recommended for lubricating the arm system pivot points :-k And while I'm ...

Hey Pablo, given the shadowline treatment you have done to your M6, think I would suggest something like this, think it was called hyper black or black chrome, something like that

Sadly, don't have these wheels anymore

Tazzarti, I've got this pair, but I would presume that they are for E12 based, as that's what I have and would not likely have any E28 based parts

I put the steel tape there so that you can see the inner diameter

Lemme know if you are interested

Hey smash, moving your thread to the "Mechanical" forum, likely to get more hits there

The workshop forum really doesn't address these types of questions

Might want to start one in the "Project" forum instead

Well, once you get started

Fanatic, gonna move your thread to the "Exterior" forum, think you'll get more responses there, as this forum is really just for workshop stuff, what type of compressor do I need, or which lift, that sorta stuff

Don, forgot to ask (Doh ) where can I buy the shirts

Once again, congrats

Congrats Don =D> Did the same thing a little over a year ago, although I worked "only" 42 years, post college graduation, that is :roll: I have to admit that while we moved during the past year and the new (to us) house has kept me quite busy, I do enjoy not having to do the daily grind anymore \:D/...

Installed this bad boy

Thanks Rick, looks awesome

Can't wait to get the one for "das boot"

Ask me how I know

Well folks, it was finally time to replace the 528i, a 2011 F10 that served us (the missus, actually #-o ) very well over the last 7+ years =D> She had her heart set on getting back into an SUV (SAV for us BMW people :-? ) and while I was trying to talk her into an X3, it had to be an X5 :-" After a...

Jose, I'm not exactly sure what happened to you here, can you please explain in a bit greater detail

Think this would benefit all of us, especially those like me that are not all that computer savvy

Thanks, and sorry to hear this

Hmm, maybe we can work something out [-o< I would consider "donating" the ones that I have, again with visible overlays that are raised above the original surface :-k Curious how you got the surface back to original smooth, matched the colors, etc. I already have a set for my wheels from a guy that ...

Hey Rick, this appears to be smooth on the top side and not an overlay :-k I have a set of these that I was hoping to use, but they are separate and overlayed onto the roundels :-? I was gonna try and "make" my own with standard roundels and these overlays, but I doubt that it would look very offici...

Copy Cat

And you posted the wrong original photo

Congrats Tommy, quarter of a century

Gah, those wheels

Here's an old shot of the '77 with my nephew who was about 3 years of age at the time

Guess he's around 35 now

Amazing how "pedestrian" this example looks like compared to the green shark

That would be quite the haul for me from NorCal there, Andy

Have thought many times about trying to make this event, and maybe one of these years I will

Alas, not gonna happen this year

Hope you guys pull it off

Andy, what's up with Tom

He's been running the show since I can recall, everything OK up there

FWIW, I'd be surprised if this event is held

We haven't cancelled Pacific Sharkfest yet, but will likely face the reality that it won't happen this year either

Don, thanks for that link, great story

It's very cool that BMW still lets people special order colors and whatnot

And I can see where price comparisons would lead you away from a 320i

Hope we can do a meet and/or day drive soon

Craig, did you catch this thread, re-release of the Blaupunkt Bremen :-k https://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31654 Looks very nice and period correct, but pricey, as duly noted :-({|= Motorhead, great article and photos, great to have you back =D> We actually met at Legends of the Autoba...

DraganM6, gonna move your post to the "Wanted" forum, think you posted in the "For Sale" forum by mistake

Can't help you with the headers, however, but good luck with your search

Hey Don, sorry for the late reply, haven't been on the computer for a few days :-? And also sorry, but I have to laugh about your story of the RX7 :shock: Sheesh, stolen in less than an hour, I don't miss NJ one bit [-X So, the rest of the story, goes back to 1983, when I bought my first BMW, an '83...

Thanks to Tommys 89 635 for sending me this article, artists rendition, but pretty cool

Of course it'll happen, but still cool

Isn't that a S1 centre console amongst all the S2 bits?

Watts, don't think S1 had a center console, at least my US version '80 doesn't

Otherwise, that's quite a find, surely will go for decent coin
