Re: WTB: 3.46 Limited Slip Diff
The design of the differential. Older versions the ring gear is "loaded" through a side cover. Newer versions load through the rear like many diffs.

Your best bet is to message the seller through Facebook Marketplace. As he made clear in the posting he rarely checks messages here. Good luck.

Brian, is the crash the reason I now get a "verification" page interruption by Cloudflare before I can connect to BigCoupe.com? This is the only forum that causes the Cloudflare interruption on my machine (Android Samsung Galaxy S9+)

Re: Arghhhh! Found that Heater Core Has Been Bypassed!
Pressure testing the system will tell if you have a leak or blown head gasket. I borrowed a pressure tester often enough that I ended up buying one. Very handy.

Re: Cooling System Woes -Bleeding What a Pita!
There were two types of thermostat housings, and one is shallower. I ran into this on my 84 633. The thermostat for the deeper housing won't fit the shallow housing if the O ring is in the right place, but may if it's on the "wrong" side of the recess. It's been years since I had the housi...

Re: Cooling System Woes -Bleeding What a Pita!
The heater should be on full heat while bleeding the system. The heater core can trap air.
If you think the 87 6er's cooling system is hard to bleed, try a 95 M3 S50B30.

Re: Carlex Design 635-CLX…
from what ive seen the comfort seats are way more desirable. I have them in my 633 and when i replaced them, plenty of people wanted to buy my old trashed ones to replace their sport seats. My buddies e30 sport seats are not very comfy at all. I can't disagree, because my 'bucket' doesn't fit their...

That sounds too close to me, closer than normal. Is the fan hub/clutch screwed all the way on the water pump? (Remember, it's left-hand thread).

Re: '87 Rear Cylinder Head Coolant Pipe 635csi
Here's the drawing of the cylinder head and the coolant pipe. I took a guess and said your car was a January 87 build. RealOEM.com is where I found the drawing. Looks like it's the same three bolt fitting as other E24s.

That's incredible, but aren't those the basic "comfort seat" profile, i.e. very little side bolsters?

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro
Your choice not to hone, but to Mr Snidel I respectfully disagree, and so do just about every automotive producer. Open up any new-from-the-factory engine and look down the cylinders, what do you see? Classic cross-hatch honing marks. If honing is thought necessary by the builders of new engines, wh...

Re: Mainfold pressure outlets?
The third one goes to the climate control module under the dash over the driver's left foot. It draws air from the interior for the climate control system to use to compare the interior temperature to the desired temperature set on the HVAC.

I used Mehle on my 633. I don't know that there's a great deal of difference between the traditional brands.
Both original mounts were separated at 136k miles when I got the car.

Great list. For tune-up stuff, RockAuto is a good option for filters, plugs, caps, rotors etc etc True, but be careful to watch shipping costs. My experience with them is that they"make up" some of their discount price by charging really high shipping. If it's a part that requires the ret...

Re: No Power, Running Super Rich
As has been suggested many replies back, check the fuel pressure at the rail. You are playing "throw new parts at it" while ignoring that basic test (if it hasn't been done). Just replacing the FPR doesn't guarantee that the fuel pressure is now correct. Is the vacuum line to the FPR intac...
