Maybe for now Ill pick up some lowering springs as thats the main reason I wanted coilovers.

Again, how will this affect the self leveling suspension?

Thanks,

Hey, Just been browsing some sites for parts and came across this https://auctions.silverlake.co.uk/vehicle-list/details/1983-bmw-6-series-635csi-3430cc-petrol-automatic-4-speed-2-door-coupe-at-motorhog-co-uk-motorhog-co-uk--scotland-/528287?x=0&type=0&make=&trns=0&fuel=0&catc=0&...

Hi, So this has been brought up a couple of times but I'm after brands, after doing a bit of digging I have found systems from Spax, BC, H&R and Gaz Gold, are there any more? The BC units are catching my eye but say they require welding, not a route I want to go down, are there any of the above ...

So update. I gave it basic clean due to weather and took it out for a spin and no good, worth knowing it does do when the cruise control is on as well, I have attached what mine looks like, so the 'boot' version as Brucy called it. I also checked it with a multimeter and seemed ok with no resistance...

Thanks Guys, I will take a look tonight as I found yesterday it didn't do it when the cruise control was active. I will report back my findings.

Hi, So last night it would seem my 87 635 with the 4 speed automatic with switchable function decided that at speed such as 70 mph with my foot static it kept bouncing from 2000 rpm to 3000 rpm, I assume changing back and forward from third and fourth. When I put the car in sport mode it stopped, ag...

Hi, So I was in a McDonalds drive through and my 635 overheated... It was a known issue that on idle or in slow traffic it got warm but full steam was coming out!! After several stops to cool down I got home and the next day it seemed to have boiled the whole lot, went out and bought more, filled th...

So thanks for all the help as it would seem changing the diode relay (the silver one) worked a treat, just went for a spin and all seems fine, if in the UK worth knowing that relay cost me £42 with VAT from BMW.

Thanks again for the help :)

Ok cool, I',m heading down the dealer tonight so will ask, hopefully the rattle its making is the sign its dead

So Ive pulled both out, From what I can read the orange one which i'm guessing is aftermarket is the fuel relay and the other one is original and when shook you can hear it rattle, hopefully thats gone and I just need to source the part, hard to find in UK though so might have to call BMW unnamed.jpg

Yeah will do, I have already seen Bruce's breakdown of the relay switches so Ill play around with them and update.

Hi, Starter fluid being in the aerosol can which you spray straight into the engine...then yes, spray that in and it starts and ticks over and when that continues to spray it works fine, as soon as the guy stopped the car stopped. On its own steam if you leave it sitting it will start but then dies ...

Hi, So my two week old 635csi has stopped starting, after letting it sit for a week with the dashboard off the car all of sudden wont start. It was cutting out before even sometimes when driving but now it starts but wont hold the revs and stops straight away. Having disconnected the battery while d...

Hi,

Mine has just had the same issue start although I have just taken the whole dashboard off disconnecting all the electrics, might be worth unscrewing the dash and check the wires are all connected. When I put mine back together over the weekend I will update you

Thanks for the reply, I do know the screws you mean so ill have a look at the weekend and will look at the AC motor.

Hi,

Just a quick one (hopefully)

How to remove the the trim in the photo, its seems just to be clips but I dont want to break anything.
Thanks,

Sorry about the location.

And that sucks, Ill have a look into it, thanks for the replies.

Hey, Just bought my first 1987 BMW 635 and taking delivery on Saturday so very excited and of course, hello all :) But one of the immediate issues I need to sort is the seals, the interior has signs of moisture and the boot is letting water in (no rust thank god) This needs sorting ASAP and I have a...
