There are a series of posts on bimmerforums regarding the e32 740-series which has a rechargeable flashlight. My 740il is a 1993 I've bought the Varta batteries and am trying to figure out how to link the two together. The original has a welded tab between the two that are stacked one atop the other...

My 1984 633 interior is Pearlbeige: seats match the carpet. I'll look for the color code but the VIN is 6997510 if you want to run the number

How much diid you get for it?
You got a classy Mom.

Harbor Freight has hard rubber wheel chocks for about $7@

One chock or two?

Must have been some steep driveway!

Brucey,
Thanks for the warning. I will re-think the hold down system

I've got a similar setup in my 1984 633 VIN6997510 and the rod screws into a nut welded on the underside of the battery tray. But since battery construction has changed a bit in 30 years, I use a shock cord that ties into an "EYE" bolt threaded into the same nut on the front side of the tr...

This is an interesting crowfoot wrench for tighter quarters than is typical

Hopes this helps someone

I Am Glad To See Another Brought Back To Life!

Brucy, I have a set of those from Harbor Freight (Horror Freight to some) and they are not god in a tight situation and the indent for the ball retainer isn't in the right place for my Craftsman or Snap-On wrenches. I like the idea of a vice-grip wrench around the flare nut wrench! Typically if ther...

This is new to me, so I'd thought I would share it for those of you lowering or increasing tire size.

Enjoy,

Ron,
Who is the supplier of that little item

All
Is there a specific make/brand/model of flare nut wrenches that are flat w/o counterbores?

Used and abused. Must be those tough winters in Buffalo

Love the algae. Truly does get wet up there!

One more thing
Look at this video regarding terminals

Also, use a dab of Permatex battery terminal goop ($1.49) to prevent corrosion

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/c3/automotive-batteries/15597 I put in an Autocraft from Advance Auto. Other popular manufactuers are Exide and Interstate If your car sits a lot, you may want to consider a master shut off which should be installed on the negative (not positive!) side of the battery...

What tires were you running on that beautiful car?

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy the ride!


Add to your list a distributor cap, rotor and ignition wires. After that, reset the valve lash.
All necessary basics.

Please turn off your caps

If it was the brake accumulator, the ABS light would not be the indicator. But the regular brake light would flash briefly.

I do not know what the diagnostic procedure for ABS would be, but perhaps it is in the ETM on the tech info section of BigCoupe.

Jose,
Who did you use for the driveshaft rebuild?

My head is spinning from this project!

What happened to the early pix?

Chassis condition is sort of make or break for a project like this unless you are a talented welder and body man. That rear diff mount looks very dodgy. Maybe a lot of salt. If so, inspect the undercarriage carefully as there is likely to be other rust problems that need to be attended to before you...

Really gorgeous!
What opacity is the window tint? Blends great with the body.

Do you keep it in the garage when the sandstorms kick up? I'd hate to sacrifice such a beauty to the Shamal.

OY!
