I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and petrol for an M635. The rest I just squandered

...and as you know Chris, those are tape/decals, not paint [-X Man, that would be a helluva paint job :shock: But yeah, I've been at the stealer when the dood is walking around with the hand easel (sp) applying pin stripes to the Bimmers on the floor :roll: Guy does it free hand, amazing :-? :mrgreen:

http://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14937 Chris Wright has graciosly provided a variety of spring rates, both OEM and aftermarket :wink: Dmitriy, any idea how long it will take for you to get the springs installed :-k I don't want to miss this auciton, but don't want to buy crap either :-? :...

Tape, actually

I was thinking more like $200 :-? From what I can tell, these are NOS from the manufacturer (B&G) and are being sold by this luxury auto outfit, for whatever they can get :roll: I also think that there won't be much demand out there, given that the newest E12 chassis vehicle is almost 30 years o...

Well, from what I found out, they are big in Europe, they are actually out of Sweden :-k Besides the fact that there are almost no manufacturers of lowering springs around for the E12 chassis, these are also progressive wound, which really has me pondering :roll: And I see that Spasso has foundout w...

Wow, nice find on the springs :shock: I've researched them for quite a while, but have never found anybody who actually bought and installed them, so no feedback :-? Besides the fact that there are almost no more sources of E12 springs available, these are progressive wound, which is even more rare ...

Well, indicates '75 and older, perhaps that's why I've never heard of it

And yes, rain due to commence tomorrow, not sure how much we'll get, if any

At least I got the green beast out this morning for a nice drive to work

And back home, of course

...well, Brian will

And enough with being grumpy

Gaspump, proper tire size for those wheels are 235/45's

OK, can we have a group hug now

Dana, here's a shot off my diff that shows the location of the number stampings that identify the ratio

For mine, 38:11 = 3.45 ratio

Tschultz is right though, "should be" 3.07 gearing

Nice work, keep those cards and letters coming

Never heard of this one, not that I oculd sign up, if it's pre-79

May try and sign up for the Palo Alto concourse, also looking for early models, 1980 is the latest

Been wondering if we had anybody from Denmark on the board, as I will be in Odense for business during the first week of May, 5th thru the 7th or 8th

Very nice ride you've got there, I concur on the look with white paint and those BBS wheels

...and that would be the wheel offset :-? Also, don't be surprised if the feedback from this forum is not all that positive about mixing tire sizes with wheels that are the same width, front and rear :roll: Really, unless these wheels were intended for use on a 3 series (offset around ET40), then th...

Or should that welcome be extended to your son

Great looking find there, either yourself or your som need to tell us more

Like what color that beauty is

...the guy on the board that got so badly rearended, that his 6er caught on fire :shock: Obviously totalled by his insurance, company, he went thru much of the same BS that you will need to, including dealing with obtaining the REAL value of your 6er :roll: And sorry to hear :( Hope you come back in...

Had one of those as well, but didn't look anything as hot as that

Engine pix look a bit confusing, but sounds like you know what you're getting yourself into

Again, welcome and best of luck

Real nice, in fact :wink: Not an ///M, but "should be" an M90, which is also a highly desireable engine 8) One quick item of note, the waist moldings have been removed, all of the holes filled in :shock: Front bar is not stock, but the rear may be. That's a bit odd, as they are usually sol...

Please forgive the intrusion, but are you are you really gonna scrap an M535i as your donor car :shock: Assuming it's the genuine article, almost seems like a travesty to part it out #-o Sure, lots of bumps, scrapes and cracks in the bodywork, and maybe it's rusted beyond repair :-k Anyhoo, good luc...

Bet she's gonna sing :wink: Question about the engine management system, since it appears that you will be using the Motronic injectoin setup, yet I see the old style dizzy :-? Curious how is that going to work, since Motronic would be setting your timing for you :-k And I can't believe you managed ...

You didn't mention what vintage 6er you have, but pretty sure that in hte early version (E12), the low fluid indicator and parking brake indicator warning light is the same

...what didn't work, for the benefit of other board members

Just in case somebody else tries this swap

I'll ping bejerana directly and see what island he's on

Departing in 4 days, can't wait

...at my local stealer

Over $4 each

But then, they do make a world of difference

FWIW, I'll be vacationing on the lovely island of Maui all of next week, arriving on the 5th and begrudgenly leaving on the 13th =D> Will be staying in Kanapali, staying at the Aston Kanapali Shores (I think) :roll: Curious if there are any members in the area, perhaps hook up for a few cold ones :-...

Dmitriy, I've used a place in Santa Clara a few times, not cheap but ya get what ya pay for :roll: So do I, but I need to take one to a repair place to get rash removed, and then strip/polish/clear the rest of the lips Try Wheel Techniques, just don't tell 'em I sent you :-? http://www.wheeltechniqu...
