Will the E30 mirror snap right into the E24 mount? It would make a very nice upgrade.

I am planning on running 215/60/15" as recommended by Tire Rack although 225/60/15" will fit without problems.

What s lovely surprise. I drove through Belgium on the highway through Spa several years ago but in a Renault not a BMW. How I would love to have been there especially since the thermometer was sitting at -32C this morning and my sixer is covered up in the garage until April at the earliest.

The front strut rods are large diameter so probably Bilsteins! Nice to know. The rears are Boge for sure as marked on the tube. Thanks.

Without removing the struts is there a way I can tell if my 1985 635CSI has Bilsteins cartridges in the front struts front such as piston size?.The rears on my car are Boge for sure but I think they are not original since car has 155000miles. PO may have installed replacements at some point.

My 1985 (6/85) 635Csi has a green large screwdriver in what I am certain is the original tool kit. The small green one was missing when I bought the car.

Are these injectors a good buy?

I saw these on ebay and thought that maybe they would be a good upgrade but have no idea. Is this just a bunch of hype or will they truly make a difference. My car runs fine but it does have a bit of a rough idle. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-535i-635csi-735i-L6-L7-Fuel-Injectors-Best-Upgrade-Bosch-T...

My 1985 635Csi has 155,000 miles showing or about 250,000kms so nothing remarkable. My 1983 Volvo 240 has almost 350000kms and still running like a champ. I hope that the 6'er will be as reliable as my old "brick".

Power Sport Seats, BMW or Recaro?

How can you tell if the power sports seats in my '85 635CSi (6/85) are Recaro or BMW? Is there a label or id plate somewhere or is it obvious from the stitching, panel size etc.

Sorry but car is stored or winter and it is about -25C outside with snow flurries. Attached is one picture taken in the fall just after I bought it. I am planning to post photos next spring. Pictures are poor quality.
