Re: Euro Paint on U.S. Spec Car?

The paint on my 84 633 is beyond shot, but it is Burgundy Red Metallic #199. It was one of the last 633s shipped to the U.S.

If converted, they can always be returned to original if you keep the metric barrels.

Re: BMW 635csi 1987

The inner face of the flange is as forged. The outer face is machined perpendicular to the hub and drive. Is it a mistake? I don't know.

Re: My 6'er

It's called "mission creep". You set out to replace the roundel on the boot lid and end up rebuilding the entire rear suspension just because you were there already.

Re: The missus' X5 hits a "devil" of a milestone

Re: Fuel Pressure Issues

To test the regulator with the engine running, pull and plug the vacuum line going to the regulator while testing fuel pressure. The pressure should go to maximum with no vacuum feed. You can delete the bottom "regulator". It is actually a device to smooth out fuel pump pulses, not a press...

Re: Wild dashcam video - better check your wheel studs!

Amazing that the Kia driver survived, but it wasn't lug nut failure that caused this incident. See attached screenshot. The entire hub, brake disc and wheel came off. The lug nuts were still holding the wheel to the hub assembly. Probably the spindle nut came off, at least that's my guess. It would ...

Re: 628 CSI ‘81 choked too rich vacuum?

Welcome to the group!

Does the engine have the three basics: fuel pressure, injector pulses and spark? Any one missing equals a no start/no run.

Re: Weird Side Effect of a Car with Active Exhausts

The E36 M50/52 etc had a pair of pipes on the same side of the bumper coming out of the same muffler. One only opened/flowed exhaust at high RPM, controlled by a vacuum line from the intake. The second pipe was normally closed by engine vacuum. At WOT the vacuum dropped and the valve would open the ...

Although collectors cars usually don't bob around in price as much as everyday vehicles, they do somewhat follow the overall price trends.
