Aaron, Good Luck No, I just can't believe I'll need any luck. You, yourself said you rebuild these. Along with you, Four Seasons and a handful of other companies are rebuilding these.

Re: Air-con BMW 635CSI M

Fellow Forum members, I rebuild A/C Compressors, for the BMW Behr/Bosch Wingcell Compressor on the e23,e24,e28,e30,e31,e32 and others. What is good about is that the Wingcell, it can use either r12 or r134. These Wingcells after a rebuild, with new seals and bearings, are good for another 30 years. ...

Dear Mr, no name,

Congrats, your car selling at ($41,500) your mileage was at 59,000, yours should have been higher, as its been 2 + years.

My '87 m6 I sold 2 years ago, on BAT for $41,750, I had around 68,000 miles. I was hoping for more.

Re: Master Cylinder replacement, e24 or e32?

Fellow Members,

I also went with the e32 M/C with the larger bore, and saw/felt no difference.
Make sure you get the early e32, as there are two styles.
The e32 was also less money.
