Re: 85 euro m635csi & m88/3 timing chain - my project

Very nice pics. I don't think I've ever seen the m88/s38 documented like this. Almost makes me think I could work on one.......Maybe :oops:
Keep up the good work. I hope we'll be seeing a first start video.

Re: Get Well Soon, Ron

Wow glad to hear you are home and getting back on track. Don't sell those cars yet you may be wishing you didn't. Take some time to recuperate first. Hoping to see someone getting shit for not having their address in profile very soon. :D Good luck Ron

Re: UK. Very early 633 FS.

Interestingly theres the near twin to that car for sale in Seattle. Now of course it has the big bumpers but it is a manual. I'd maybe be looking at it if I didn't already have too much to deal with :oops: https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/d/shelton-77-bmw-630csi/6813134125.html https://images....

Re: Poor old '81 635... can we rebuild her???

Nice find, hope you can save it. If your happy about the 4 piston calipers in the front you'll be glad to hear you have two piston vented rotors in the back. These cars have all kind of extras no other BMWs seem to have. Unfortunately one of them is the rust. Hows the front inner fender area? The m9...

Holy crap! I had a message from the seller that it had sold but not the price. Crazy after not selling for 15K on ebay. hffvdbl, thx for the info. Do you know any other details? sharkfan, Seems weird that Alpina wouldn't have any of these cars listed in any of the registry's. Also wouldn't a 630cs h...

Rare 1977 BMW 630CS Alpina B2 ?

Heres what I thought was an interesting car. I did some searching and came up with nothing on this model. I looked at a few Alpina registries. Seems like its a fake? Maybe the Alpina experts can shed some light https://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-BMW-6-Series/173597706030?hash=item286b3ac72e:g:bhAAAOSwLKN...

Re: Odd colored i8...

Agree Bob, Not a fan of the color or the car. I think BMW made a big mistake making such a crazy supercar and then making it electric. I bet you'd see more of them on the road if they had a big V8 or something in them. My opinion. BTW, nice e46. It must be a great car with the top down in sunny CA
