Hey guys, been off line for quite a bit, was down south for the 4th, and of course this move has me busier than a one legged guy in a butt kicking contest #-o Dug, heading to Gilroy =D> I'll be at the new house tomorrow for most of the day, gotta get the cabrio smogged (already moved it and the 6er....

Thanks gents, last day of work, and I can assure you, it feels damn weird :-? Funny stuff Ken :lol: Not sure how I found time to work, gotta love it =D> Shit, I've got so many projects for the 6er and cabrio, I won't even know where to start :-k Rainer, not all that sure how "deserving" I am, just r...

That's right gents (and ladies), ole Bobbo is getting ready to hang it up, answer the final bell, whatever you want to call it :roll: After 23 years here at Thermo Fisher and 42 years of total working time, I've had enough :-" Went through the financials, the guys said that we're in very good shape,...

Uh, yeah, looking at where that exhaust exited, i bet your hearing is a bit off #-o The drone is frequency and RPM specific, for me it was around 2K to 2200 RPM, most noticeable when just tooling around town :roll: Sure, if you zoom up through the rev range, you could pass though without a hitch :-"...

Hey Craig, thanks for responding, I hate it when life gets in the way

So, Greg, still not sure I know him, but the more the merrier

And I didn't know you could have too many BMW's

Hey, see you at Legends, maybe

I am surprised that you guys don't at least look at Billy Boat Tri Flo Bert, one word, glasspacks [-X Or is that supposed to be 2 words #-o Larry is spot on, even though he has not actually been in a 6er with a BB system installed [-( I went to great lengths to "tune" my BB system to something that...

Mamod17, great turnout indeed, but we MUST hear more about that AC Schnitzer tuned M30 [-o< Appears to have an S38/M88 intake amongst other bits =D> And what's the story regarding that rather "BMW looking" black cover in the lower right hand corner of the photo, under the bonnet :-k Nice, thanks for...

Well geez, that was a bit of a trick question

Sounds impressive however, did you get any photos during the installation process

It would be of interest to see that mid muffler valve system

Impressive Don

She's lookin' good, and still not many miles, considering 33 years of age

Hope to see ya at Legends

Brick, I have a couple of these front headlining covers, both with clips intact, but are for series I early cars :-k Looks just like the one in this photo :shock: Big piece, gonna be pricy to ship :-? Plus I'm in the process of moving, the 6 and cabrio are already "moved", and of course I packed the...

I see that you have quite a few views, but no suggestions :-? Since it's a Euro engine, there is plenty of good news, such as a higher CR than the US version, which of course is a bit on the anemic side, ask me how I know #-o I went with a reground cam (282, I think...) but with the lower CR, I actu...

You might want to try these guys, but tend to agree with Ken, gonna be scarcer than hens teeth

Now that's pretty neat

LoCo, gotta love the brand name

Tom, think I might leave a shadow and move this to the "Tech Articles" forum, what do you think

Lemme know

And, from the "they'll never know" department, we have a fake BMW

It's even an ///M, something or other

Sheesh, I can't find anything different, but wow, what a showing of cars

Is that an 8 series cabrio AND an i8 cabrio I saw

Amazing collection of Bimmers, nice

Ladies and germs, time to clean house, as I will be moving in a few months :-" I've had a set of old school 14" 20 spoke wheels sitting next to the garage for at least 2 decades, and they need to go [-o< I could post some pix, but they are nothing special and not in good shape finish wise, although ...

Renaud, nice shots, too bad about the rain :( So, what's the story about that old VW bug cruising up your butt :-? I was gonna send you this photo but lost your E addy :roll: Well, I should say, Microsoft Outlook lost your E addy, not me, of course #-o Anyhoo, thought you might like to see these, si...

Tom, you need to connect with Bert, since he's been performing a "nut and bolt" restoration of the same model, for about a decade :roll: But since this is a bit of an oddball MY (1st year Motronic but with E12 chassis, vacuum brake booster, etc.) there are likely quite a few things to know and learn...

Great story indeed Tom

Nice to see that you've got another 6er, knowing that you got T-boned in one

And yes, please keep us posted

Oh, that would be none other than the Hack Mechanic, Rob Siegel, well known writer for the Roundel, his own books, and now Hagerty's rag as well

That's a fairly old story, not sure if he still has that one

He flips cars like nobody I've ever heard of

Thanx Dug and Pod

Ya know, amazing that the ///M635 could have been had in 37 different colors, and we got 3 here in the good ole USofA

Sheesh, even our friends in the great white north (Canada) got more than we did

Anyhoo, thanks again gents

Hiya Ralph, that's not a linky, that's an E addy

Think I paid $90 shipped

I know, sounds pricy, but the quality is very nice, again they are weighty

BTW, Jack is in SoCal, Lake Forest address, south OC

Well, good work, and nice to know that the special 32mm fan clutch spanner has more than one use :shock: Think I've used my maybe, twice #-o Once you get that bad boy cleaned up, bet it's gonna look like the Jay's, after he cleaned all of the gunk off of his [-o< http://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic...

Brick, gonna move you over to the "Wanted" forum, hopefully get some action there

Wow, nice example, 5 hours to go

Should pull over 40 large
