Re: M90 v M30 - again!

Thanks Brucey... extensively detailed, informative and right on target as always. Mine is a January '82 build and I am keen to keep the existing motor in the car, so a transplant is not on the radar. And chassis, suspension and brakes are all pretty well sorted for the moment too. In summary... I'm ...

Re: M90 v M30 - again!

Thanks GazM3... all good points. I do know of the guys at Willall Racing... but not sure of their classic BMW knowledge. Might call & discuss. It is a weekend cruiser that's had everything underneath done including suspension, rubbers, brakes & drive shafts. Some existing mods including a bi...

M90 v M30 - again!

Hello group... long time no post, and apologies for dragging this topic up again. The time has finally come to refresh / rebuild the engine in my 1982 Euro 635 with the famous/infamous M90 (with early Motronic). My concern has always been finding someone here in little old Adelaide who knows about t...

Hi Addam... yeah, how's that parts order for the trim bits coming along? I'd also be interested in those extractors as I'm chasing a set as well, but for the earlier M90 engine with a B34 head. Will the ones he makes fit or would he have to make up a set specially? And I'm also in need of part #1 in...

Ah yes... there's always one bloody comedian in the bunch! I was actually trying to ascertain if there was much difference clearance-wize in the rear wheel well / strut / wheel arch between to the two off-sets. I'm thinking it's a tight fit and I wanted to see how tight. But go on, have a good laugh...

Thanks guys.

Agree Brad, those 32's do look so much better than the 14in stock wheel.

Gents - what about the rear's? Is it a tight fit with the 255/40/17 on the 9in rim and is there much difference between the ET22 & ET25?

Cheers...

Hi Bob / Brad... I'm interested in how close your rims at the front run to the strut? I'm running 17 x 8's all round with ET 15, and they are sooooo close to the front strut/spring perch I can hardly squeeze my little finger in between them. I'm looking at a different set of rims which are ET 20 &am...

Full set of side mouldings needed...

Hi group... well the search is on in earnest. As per another post, I thought I'd see if I can source a full LH & RH set of side mouldings as per parts #1, 2, 3 & 4 on the attached diagram via the egroup. Obviously I need them in good condition, otherwise the exercise is probably not worth it...

Hi group... as part of my repairs and repainting, the questions of with or without side mouldings came up.

Anybody know if those clear front indicator (turn signal) lenses are still available somewhere?
