I think '58,59 and .60 as the body styles changed,IIRC, in '61

Isn't that what I said?

Has to be '58-'60 (Second Generation), but which specific year I couldn't say.

Yes, but open or shut it will still work. Just works better/faster with the bleed screw open.

He's talking about two-and three-piece wheels. You can get replacement barrels (the rim part) to change diameter, width and offset. It's doggone expensive to do that. Far cheaper to find the right size wheels to begin with.

Wow, listing the Pantone Matching System numbers takes me back to my pressman days!

Cool pins...can't wait to get one.

Yes, it's the hex headed plug.

They look like E30 sport seats to me. Better ones than I have, too.

When one isn't enough....

The pictures in that article are now my screen-saver slide show.

The cardstock will also save your knuckles from being sliced to shreds by the radiator fins. Those things are like thousands of vertically oriented razor blades, and I have the scars to prove it.

The waterless coolant never boils off, so you top it off and leave it alone, unless you have a leak. You do need to put a sticker on your radiator cap warning people NOT to add any water, though . Jose And what happens if you're in the middle of nowhere and spring a leak? Leaks happen even in the b...

Scientifically Treated Petroleum.

I got no clue who patented it.

Likewise. I try to send $20 a year, and some extra in between if I have it to spare. I'm on a fixed income, have champagne tastes in cars, and a beer budget.

Wow, I don't know how, but I totally skipped over the part about the broken switches. #-o Depending on how they are "broken", they'll either default to doing nothing, or on all the time. I know disconnecting the thermo time switch will prevent the cold start valve from functioning, not tur...

Thanks.

You don't need to add any sensors. You may have to plug the unneeded holes.

It would be VERY helpful if you put your location in your profile, John. Notice how you've been asked where you're located in several of your "for-sale" postings?

Where are you located? Pelican Parts has the position sensors. http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearch/pel_search_2014.cgi?SUPERCAT_FLAG=Y&make=BMW&please_wait=N&LastVisited_input=&Previous_Section=&forumid=&threadid=&command=DWsearch&description=12+52+12+87+784&a...

Since you were told the fuel pump is going out, why not test the fuel pressure and flow? If the fuel pressure is low (<~35 psi) even with the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and plugged, it's the outside pump going bad. If it develops good pressure but suddenly drops off, then retur...

He doesn't seem to be here often to post a reply, but I found it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-6-Series-Base-Coupe-2-Door-1986-BMW-635CSi-Base-Coupe-2-Door-3-5L-/281294117059?forcerrptr=true&hash=item417e6f98c3&item=281294117059&pt=US_Cars_Trucks At least in the eBay listing the pictures ...

Excellent!

Hey, don't be too embarrassed. I had to LOOK for it myself. And I've used it before!

Bottom of any page on the forum.


Edit: WEIRD! Ed's posting didn't show up until I'd posted, even though he posted his 29 minutes before me.

M12 x 1.5

I think they're 30mm long (thread, not total length), but I couldn't swear to that.

Advance auto lists them as M12 x 1.5 x 29.5mm long:
