Try the relays, they are good suspects a lot of the time

Hi All, Has anyone had any probs with this - I think mine may be passing fuel - I guess from a quick eyeball it's a real PITA to remove - any tips out there ?? It's a late 1982 E28 based car so it's pretty difficult to even see the damn thing. I've got the Bentley manual so I know all the test figur...

Would you believe it - there's an article in April Total BMW about the E36 upgrade for E30 M3 and 320is engines that also mentions/recommends the upgrade for the E24/28

Hi Bruce, I know from costly experience that a 4-HP22-EH with a buggered control system will drive forward in 3rd only; Mine was down to electrical faults inside the gearbox - I presume that it will do the same with no control system. All the other positions (P,R,N) should work as they're obviously ...

Ian,

Many thanks.

Thanks Ian,

Is it an easy fit? Any tips? Or a straight forward one-for-one.....

Cheers,

Kevin.

I think a lot of that difference is the tappet setting on the M6 engine...I think it's a lot more labour intensive than the standard 635,,,and you have to have the sets of shims around........

Thanks Ian, I will look forward to your follow up and any advice

My local dealer quoted me ?501 all in for an Inspection 1 on a 1985 BMW M635........is this good ????

Hi All,

Does anyone know the details regarding the upgrading of the standard M635 Chain Tensioner Piston-Spring-Thing to a later (E36 ???) type which is apparently better / stronger / double-acting / lasts longer.....

Any help greatly appreciated

The speedo doesn't work, neither does the driver's door window. All the other windows and both mirrors work - typical that the most important window doesn't Six series windows are notorious for being sticky, especially after you've attempted to move them not knowing they're iced shut :( ; as well a...

Welcome.....and good luck with the car

There's a wealth of knowledge, advice and opinion here so don't be afraid to ask any questions...none are too dumb...and we're all aiming to keep these beauties running.

Is this the start of a 'Dream Garage' thread..................

Hi, I'm still pretty confused about what the offset is telling me; I have E34 (I think) 17" x-spokes on my 1985 M6 which are 9" wide and have a 26mm (IS26) offset. They fit and run perfectly well. I'm thinking of fitting some other wheels I've been offered but they are a 8" wide wheel...

Hi Dave, I'm now at the point of (in)decision....... :roll: The TRX's are at the end of their life....... :? Four 225/60 x 15 Vredestein Sportrac 2's will set me back 300 GBP :) The 17" Alpina reps with tyres (budget probably) will set me back 575 GBP 8) I'm watching bay constantly.... :shock: ...

Impressively sized as these are, aren't the tyres too narrow for the rims; they certainly look as though the rims are very exposed

Thanks Brucey, the picture says a thousand words

I didn't plan a whole moral debate on the use of roof bars :? - whether it's a surfboard to the coast 8) , ski's to the mountains :D or my old christmas tree down to the tip :lol: - I didn't think that would hold any particular relevance over whether anyone would disclose any information :shock: So ...

They did.

James confused the ones sold in mainland Europe, which did have 211hp... Not quite sure why that was....

Lower octane petrol........

I absolutely know that someone has comprehensively answered the question regarding the differences between the last Highlines and the Motorsport Edition cars but after searching fruitlessly for over an hour could someone point me in the right direction or re-post the excellent answer that put the is...

I thought the later engines had gentle re-mapping to 220 bhp.....

Has anyone got aftermarket Roof Bars for their 6. I can remember years ago that THULE used to do a set for a6 but it's no longer listed - I've tried THULE stockists but they're not very helpful - another BM site said that the fitting kit for a 1980's SAAB 900 (THULE kit 368 ??) should fit but I'd li...

I'm also chasing down a shimmy - so far I've replaced lower control arms, front discs (I fitted ATE Power Discs - much improved initial bite) and pads - next I'm onto both track rods, the centre link and the upper control arms - I just wish there was a definitive answer for all this hassle - the res...

As well as the obvious cost issue, they are also very different cars to own. The 635 with the 4 speed auto is an excellent cruising vehicle and is the car for poodling around in, but has a nice turn of speed when you want it. A manual 635 will fall somewhere in the middle between an M6 and an auto ...
