Very impressive work, Victor, especially knowing that this is your first car.

Hello:
Could you please post a photo of the car? and location in ON?
Thanks!

Decided to stick with proven solution 205/55R16 & 225/50R16. Will post photos later in my project section.

Hi, Bert, all is good. Was busy with some stuff: new job, gun club, etc. Didn't had a chance to run a 6 much though.

Got myself a staggered set of 16" Rial rims: 16x7 ET23 and 16x8 ET11 with 205-55-R16 and 225-50-R16 old tires that should be replaced. The tires mounted now are useless and should be replaced. What would be the recommended size? The current setup seems a little small for the car? https://i.post...

Wow, looks very nice Val. Definitely more than an oil change! Just time for a refresh or a necessary repair? Well, the engine was leaking oil from the day one I've got the sixer and leaks were getting worse with the time. At some point I've decided that it would be easier just to overhaul the engin...

What might happen if you drop a car for a simple oil change.. https://a.d-cd.net/5QAAAgDiUOA-1920.jpg https://a.d-cd.net/_QAAAgDiUOA-960.jpg https://a.d-cd.net/qIAAAgDiUOA-960.jpg https://a.d-cd.net/9QAAAgDiUOA-960.jpg https://a.d-cd.net/5YAAAgEKsOA-1920.jpg https://a.d-cd.net/PQAAAgJbiOA-960.jpg ht...

Just one photo from the mid of April. When I took the car out of the garage it was dry and shiny.
Later at the same day, the freezing rain hit Toronto:

Ireland Engineering exhaust developed some droning on lower RPMs, but even without it, it was a bit too loud to my taste. So the time came to change it on something quieter. The budget choice was Walker 47656 with Amazon sourced two Superior 28-2121 1.75" x 9" Silentips. https://s19.postim...

Such a sad news.
While I never meat Dean personally, we exchanged quite a lot on bimmerforums and here. He was very very knowledgeable and warm person. He will be missed by e24 community.

My deepest condolences to the family.

Yes, it's available.

Selling new blower motor BMW part 64111354618. Made by BOSCH, installed into the central console.
$55 + actual shipping from Toronto, Canada.

Selling central console insert with ashtray and cigarette lighter. Overall very good condition with exception of one broken mounting point. Asking $65 + shipping from Toronto, Canada. Local pick up welcome. https://s19.postimg.org/p5c2qkupf/20171029_124550.jpg https://s19.postimg.org/c16idukn7/20171...

Summer is gone.

Bob, those vents looks factory!

Meanwhile, I got myself 6L spare canister. Was hunting for 9L in decent condition and price, but no luck yet.
The original spout is missing, but I'll buy it separately.

At some point, I registered my car at http://www.bimmerstories.la and after a couple of years after that, I was contacted via email with the following: «Dear Val, We found your e-mail address in the gallery of the www.bimmerstories.la website, where you uploaded a photo of your BMW 635CSI a while ag...

Thanks! Be aware though that USB plug won't be inserted all the way to the charger, as there is not enough depth left without casing. The well is about 5 mm short. Doesn't bother me much, but still.

http://postimages.org works well for me.

I always had issues with USB chargers for the cigarette lighter, and I was looking for a neat permanent solution to have at least one charger available. I've investigated a few options, and while all of them had some advantages, the one described in How to install a 2 port USB power adapter in an ‘8...

Very nice story. Congrats!
Can't wait to see the photos!

There is one in Canada. No affiliation.

This looks so nice and clean! Was subframe painted or powder-coated?.

Time come to assemble and install the central console. But first, knowing my luck, I've decided to change OBC back-light to LED from Garagistic. I didn't want to assemble central console back and face dead OBC lights after the short time. Received LED insert: https://s19.postimg.cc/c22ufxm4z/led.01....
