The seller posted a link to the Ebay ad on an E24 FB page with a glowing validation of how good the car was .
When asked if this was the same car that was sold last week in Glasgow .......he pulled the thread/post .

And , I think , a big thank you to you Rob for not just the welcome updates on Brucey's progress but for the time , effort and considerable support that you have given to assist Brucey in all ways possible .

Next phase . :D I tried to "love" the three speed auto box in my car but silky smooth as it is it just anaesthetises the pleasure in driving it. So.... 21-10-21 003 (2).jpg The conversion components were selected and assembled with great care for me by Ron and Rob (wattsmonkey) of this par...

Left hand one for me Ron .

I applaud you're efforts to prolong and protect the car but most of the areas covered are not prone to structural rust . The e24 rusts in very specific areas for very specific reasons and is well documented . The coating "seems" to be a material similar to a product known as Waxoyl ( wax ...

When you see what anything that has a Ford badge attached is fetching I'd say it was worth each and every penny.
There has always got to be a first.

As title, require the pressed steel linkage forr Getrag 265/6 gearbox.

Having just endured a no start scenario I sympathize with you.
This should be accurate for your year of model .

Good luck .

Bumper/valance/rubbers assembled and installed on the car. The shop painted the used licence plate center rubber to clean it up. Does anyone know of a better matching black paint that would match/blend with the color of the factory front bumper rubber? Or a pristine license plate center rubber. It'...

To conclude the thread . The non start problem was caused by an open circuit speed sensor . The ref, sensor was within spec at 960 ohms but the speed o/c but despite the belief that the speed sensor would only cause rough running on mine it prevented start. The other issue found was a o/c coil on t...

Resolved a non start problem I've had for a month now . After much head scratching and fault finding aplenty, issue was traced to an open circuit speed sensor . In the journey I removed an old ,but expensive and well fitted, alarm /immobiliser, found the main relay coil open circuit and learned a gr...

Hi, I can't help with the diagram but I do have the same model and it's not going anywhere soon so if you need to try an ECU swap or something, that could be arranged. jps635, any chance I could also have a copy of that diagram? Cheers. Olympia57, I too have a late series-one car with Motronic that...

I have a 10/81 registered series one withe M30 engine and Motronic basic injection system. I have several wiring diagrams for my year of car ,including the original owners manual that came with the car when new and a genuine BMW year correct factory workshop manual, but all have the L jetronic syste...

Following on from the thread on Brucey I've noticed that Song hasn't been as prolific as usual recently .
A check shows he last signed in early February .

Yep , I agree, it looks magnificent .
The stripes really finish the body detail and always look nicer in the light silver .
I'm so glad you elected to go with the Rial's too .
I wish you lots of enjoyment with it , you deserve it .

Pretty sure that relay is in the engine bay beside the fuse box in my '81 635. A tap with a screwdriver has got me out of trouble with that a few times. I would also suggest checking the crank sensor and its connection above the fuel rail. I could be wrong but I don't think you'll get fuel or spark...

You can temporarily install a jumper between 87 and 30. These are the contacts. If the relay is bad, you should run with the jumper. Just do not leave it there! Thanks Ross already did this and there was still no spark. Looking into it further this relay, Bosch 0332014112, is specifically for fuel ...

Thanks for the reply Ralph.
I'm thinking / hoping that too .
It may be the culprit .
Ron's posting one over but I'll see if I can pick one up locally too.

OK now into open heart surgery ..... First failure I have found is this relay which is situated to the left above the ECU . It's a five pin as shown. The coil is open circuit . I have not identified it's purpose as yet and haven't got a spare to match it ....yet . Can anyone identify it's purpose ? ...

I'll try to keep this simple in light of the other live thread on starting problems . S1 with Motronic 1 ( basic ) standard with no modifications . Drove perfectly and after a long run last October I dusted it down and garaged it . battery disconnected , never started in that time . Would not start ...

Me thinks though even if you mange to fill those guards you wont have a very practical road car.
