Welcome to BigCoupe! The early E24s (70s to mid 1982) are substantially different from the later cars, and are somewhat harder to locate parts for, particularly body parts. If you have a choice between a non-runner with a rust-free body and a runner that has rusted out fenders and floorboards, get t...

Brian, is the crash the reason I now get a "verification" page interruption by Cloudflare before I can connect to BigCoupe.com? This is the only forum that causes the Cloudflare interruption on my machine (Android Samsung Galaxy S9+)
Welcome! This should help with your electricals/electronics: http://wedophones.com/Manuals/BMW/1983%20BMW%20633csi%20Electrical%20Troubleshooting%20Manual.pdf Download and save that. It is the Electronic Troubleshooting Manual for a 1983 633. The electrical system should be similar enough to be help...
Pressure testing the system will tell if you have a leak or blown head gasket. I borrowed a pressure tester often enough that I ended up buying one. Very handy.

from what ive seen the comfort seats are way more desirable. I have them in my 633 and when i replaced them, plenty of people wanted to buy my old trashed ones to replace their sport seats. My buddies e30 sport seats are not very comfy at all. I can't disagree, because my 'bucket' doesn't fit their...
Here's the drawing of the cylinder head and the coolant pipe. I took a guess and said your car was a January 87 build. RealOEM.com is where I found the drawing. Looks like it's the same three bolt fitting as other E24s.
Adjusting E24 windows is like threading a sewing machine needle........with it running. Dumb, blind luck if you hit the ideal adjustment. Been there....
Your choice not to hone, but to Mr Snidel I respectfully disagree, and so do just about every automotive producer. Open up any new-from-the-factory engine and look down the cylinders, what do you see? Classic cross-hatch honing marks. If honing is thought necessary by the builders of new engines, wh...
Sorry about linking RED46. I did some research and it appears people started having trouble with delivery of paid-for plates sometime around October of 2022, and no replies to inquiries. Since he required payment by PayPal Good and Services, those that were left hanging with no product got their mon...
